gollark: Idea: splice that 'green fluorescent protein" stuff into grass. Your grass WILL be greener than on the other side.
gollark: Reducing moving parts is good I guess.
gollark: Maybe seed engineered viruses in the grass periodically to stop it growing.
gollark: I still feel like setting the grass on fire would be easier. I don't think lasers provide much of an advantage here if you want to actually cut it.
