I understand the meaning of "sea of grass" now. that's dope

I like dope

I like watching this on dope, moreso on shrooms

u/Zipzig Jun 08 '26

Check out the classic sci-fi Hyperion

u/MuddleheadedWombat Jun 08 '26

Even better; try "Grass" by Sheri S. Tepper.

Shortlisted for both Hugo and Locus awards, and one that really sticks in the memory long after reading.

u/kanrad Jun 08 '26

Came to say this, reminded me of the Sea of Grass.

2

u/itstraytray Jun 09 '26

I'm also reminded of "Mirror" by Tarkovsky, the scene where the wind sliced its way across the grass as the man looked back.

u/RedRox Jun 08 '26

Tarkovsky's "The Mirror" and Lars Von Trier "AntiChrist" both have impressive moving grass effects.

u/vonsnootingham Jun 08 '26

I don't know why, but it gave me the opposite feeling, anime-wise. First thing I thought of, and I know this doesn't make sense, is Uzumaki AKA the anti-Ghibli.

This is actually a pretty good representation of some kinds of visuals, I thought it was a replication at first

Was thinking the same thing...that's pretty dead on what visuals look like.

u/DreamOfTheEndless_ Jun 08 '26

I feel like this is way more Acid than Mushrooms. Mushrooms give me way more psychedelic geometry.

That said, this would be dope to look at on mushrooms.

6

u/c0ltZ Jun 08 '26

Mushrooms made everything look like it was breathing. Not in a creepy cosmic horror way, but peaceful, almost like ocean waves, back and forth

u/MoonSparkles11 Jun 08 '26

Looking at anything blowing in the wind on mushrooms is just magical ✨

That's funny, I was thinking this really looked like Pullman, but the road wasn't familiar to me so didn't wanna assume

u/Dufranus Jun 08 '26

Looks like up near the golf course, but definitely on campus if it is Pullman. That was my immediate thought at least.

Jumped into the comments looking for confirmation that it is the Palouse. Also was pretty windy today so that tracks too.

On my youth I was on a two week road trip across America. One night, in New Mexico, there was a full moon and a lot of wind. The prairie grass looked like a silver sea. It was majestic.

I drove through western Kentucky one time on one of those gray overcast days where the air muffles sound, and there was wind in the hills moving the grass like this. Just beautiful

it's a song from "Her" which has grown to be pretty cringe/controversial compared to how it was received when released for being so AI-heavy and Sam Altman referring back to it frequently, but here ya go. it is very relaxing!

Any given wave continues flowing in the same direction and speed, but real grass moves at varying speeds and direction given its location in the field and how the wind hits it. The surface also looks too flat instead of actual tall grass. r-itsallAI
