What do you get when you spend over $US700 million on a new Swedish party house for your servers? This. 91,440m of buzzing, scalding Facebook servers in a spot so cold, they can just let the air in.

The climate-cooled farm will suck enough electricity to power up to 40,000 homes, but amazingly will be powered entirely through hydroelectric power, The Daily Mail reports. Frankie the Facebook Eco Walrus gives this eco-friendly server centre a big “Like”!
