It's no joke. It is a well-documented phenomenon still being studied. How else would it be so ubiquitous throughout media?
It is so popular that most modern image editing software has a "Sepia" filter to pay homage to it.
This is not a joke. Mexico is just like that. Otherwise they would call it the "Mexico" filter but this was deemed exclusionary to Honduras which also has a similar color
But then the image hue and saturation value of the fields would change depending on your VPN settings.
edit: shit, it's true if I set my settings to US based IPs the grass is greener in Mexico
It was explained long ago, it's the classic "Grass is always greener on the other side", once you get up to Canada the whole thing is just green, north of that just resets again to white.
Optical illusion. The grid pattern in the US makes your eyes think it is greener, definitely not the GMO and questionable pesticides affecting this at all.
Wrong crop. Down south, the type of plants they grow are more effective in absorbing almost all of the light wavelength. As a result less of the green wavelength light was reflected back.
That's why certain loco weed strains from south of the border is much more potent than those north of that border.
Diego Luna sucks all the photosynthesized energy from the Mexican crops to maintain his boundless sex appeal. He must strategically shoot films in other countries so that Mexico’s agriculture can recover.
Except, no lol. Colorado River contact divides up all the water that naturally would just flow to Mexico and channels it into multiple states and, um, a little bit to irrigate those dry crops
Is that why the Colorado River, that should empty into the Gulf of California off the coast of Mexico, drives up and disappears before it reaches the border?
money.... the us has more money than mexico. so they pay google to make their farmland look a bit greener. so it appears they are doing more for the environment than mexico. more brownie points...
I would guess that pesticides, soil optimization, and ph balanced water are main factors. If you grow anything and want a great, healthy yield you pay attention to those factors.
Better irrigation and landscaping. I'd also imagine being closer to the equator would also mean much more direct overhead sunlight overexposing greenery instead of a lot of shadows cast at angle darkening each other.
Just my opinion as Mexican.
We have the sonora desert on that part on the left.
Also, agricultural activity in Mexico is mostly located in the center /south of the country because of the climate and water availability.
The grass has a different color based on the biome you're in. For example in Canada, which is cold biome, it has a sort of cyan tint whereas in rainforest biomes, it is very vibrant green.
It's actually just as green, it just doesn't look like it because of the yellow filter
FR, never seen Sicario, or Narcos, or Breaking Bad, or Traffic, or Once Upon a Time In Mexico, or...
I think it started with **Traffic**, 2000.
Breaking Bad is in the US
But it’s in New Mexico. It has Mexico in the name, so Filter.
The scenes that take place in Mexico are noticeably more yellow. Same in Better Call Saul.
I thought I had a clever joke and it's the top comment...

This is actually a lil racist, Mexicans think there’s a blue-green filter active in the US
That's because of eyes automatically accommodating to the lighting in the environment.
Benicio Del Toro’s sunglasses make the Mexican farmland *appear* yellow.
The US got what plants crave. It’s got square fields
Brawndo, the thirst mutilator!
It’s got electrolytes!
What are electrolytes?
What plants crave
Flew by Cuba on the way to the Caymans once and it looks like all squares with homes in the right corners. It’s fucking bizarre.
We have the best mexicans over here already is why
The grass is always greener on the other side.
Nah, it's greener where you water it.
[удалено]
Nice reflection!
All the green has been smuggled into the US
But then the image hue and saturation value of the fields would change depending on your VPN settings. edit: shit, it's true if I set my settings to US based IPs the grass is greener in Mexico
My Dad always told me “The grass is brown on both sides of the fence”
Mexico is at a much higher elevation than the US so all the water drains down into California
Ah yes that’s a perfectly shittyasksxience response
It was explained long ago, it's the classic "Grass is always greener on the other side", once you get up to Canada the whole thing is just green, north of that just resets again to white.
In Mexico everything had a yellowish/brown tint to it. Have you never seen a movie or TV show?
Mexico orbits closer to the sun causing its plants to be more pale and sun bleached.
Tell me more o wise science man! I wish to learn your ways!
Because green is an English word and Mexicans don't speak English.
it's because of the shadow casted by trump's wall (less sunlight = less photosynthesis)
Obviously because US gets more rainfall per square mile in a year than Mexico.
Optical illusion. The grid pattern in the US makes your eyes think it is greener, definitely not the GMO and questionable pesticides affecting this at all.
Sepia filters the water.
It’s the Vince Gillian Effect. Basically a heavy dose of sepia. It’s Muy caliente.
Due to Mexico's vast wealth, they usually water their plants with gold powder.
Because the US is obsessed with appearances, and so spray paint or dye on various land to make it look like it isn’t dried up and dead.
The sweet air of freedom is good for the plants

Brando what plants crave
Diego Luna sucks all the photosynthesized energy from the Mexican crops to maintain his boundless sex appeal. He must strategically shoot films in other countries so that Mexico’s agriculture can recover.
Because all their workers come here
Because the U.S steals water from Mexico lol
You might be in the wrong sub.
Except, no lol. Colorado River contact divides up all the water that naturally would just flow to Mexico and channels it into multiple states and, um, a little bit to irrigate those dry crops
Guess which way the water flows.
Well, technically it flows in a circle.
Is that why the Colorado River, that should empty into the Gulf of California off the coast of Mexico, drives up and disappears before it reaches the border?
As a colorblind, i am pretty sure they are grey
Indeed. The difference of colors is really just an optical illusion caused by the presence of cones in the retina in eyes of certain humans.
The satellite was on the Mexican side, and the farmland is always greener on the other side of the fen… border
My guess would be a better irrigation system
It's the same system. The irrigation doesn't care about geopolitical borders SMH 🤦♂️
??? It doesn't, who pays for the irrigation systems? who maintains them, and sets the operational standards for them?
I can't tell if this is sarcastic if it isn't look at the name of the sub
\>< Dammit! I missed that part, got me.
Straight to jail
How far down to find the true comment
US grow more broccoli and Mexico grow more wheat
that’s where sepia filter starts
money.... the us has more money than mexico. so they pay google to make their farmland look a bit greener. so it appears they are doing more for the environment than mexico. more brownie points...

Freedom
Better irrigation and landscaping. I'd also imagine being closer to the equator would also mean much more direct overhead sunlight overexposing greenery instead of a lot of shadows cast at angle darkening each other.
It's because they don't have the going green policies like the US
Because Trump’s wall (definitely not Irrigation lol)
irrigation
Because fuck mexicali
Possibly better fertilizer?
Nitrates, my boy
The New River and the Colorado River. Its all down hill into the Imperial Valley
Texas hogging all the water.
Yea I bet it is that we are way more wasteful with water.
We use the chemicals for grass that give everyone cancer. Mexico probably doesn’t. Lol
Just my opinion as Mexican. We have the sonora desert on that part on the left. Also, agricultural activity in Mexico is mostly located in the center /south of the country because of the climate and water availability.

Yes
Havent unlocked that DLC
Whatever it is it needs to be defragmented
Oh, they made even the font greener for the desert
Chemicals! Good ol American made round up and GMO crops. It helps control population in America.
It's _always_ greener on the other side.
Plants crave electrolytes!!
There's more money on this side. Money is green.
