This rules, give it a watch
For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.

10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

If you really need to waste some water for your ideas, you can also do “staring at the wall” in the shower.
Instead of using GenAI to generate ideas, may I instead suggest "Staring at a Wall." Your mind will wander and probably have more relevant, fleshed out ideas than anything an LLM can generate. Join the "Staring at a Wall" movement today.
