i did this and it fixed it

export const prisma = (() => {
  if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
    return {} as unknown as PrismaClient;
  }
  return (
    globalForPrisma.prisma ??
    new PrismaClient({
      log:
        env.NODE_ENV === "development" ? ["query", "error", "warn"] : ["error"],
    })
  );
})();

export const prisma = (() => {
  if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
    return {} as unknown as PrismaClient;
  }
  return (
    globalForPrisma.prisma ??
    new PrismaClient({
      log:
        env.NODE_ENV === "development" ? ["query", "error", "warn"] : ["error"],
    })
  );
})();

🤷 i am not connecting to a DB in my browser at all lol that's why this error is weird agreed

Your probably importing some server code into your client side code somehow, worth a check so you don't leak anything
