Fine meshes are great for making funky visual oddities. No joke but I've loved them since I was a child. They're partially how my glasses free 3D tv worked.
My favorite "graphical defect" was one overcast day not too long ago. The clouds perfectly masked the sun so it was impossible to tell where it was but a lot of light was still coming through. Everything lacked hard shadows and was exclusively illuminated through ambient lighting.
Like this, but with shadow blobs under cars and no shadows from building overhangs. I really should have taken pictures since I can't find anything online
