How to pick up a snail to help him or her...
@IngridHbn It's true that you can cause mantle collapse in a snail by picking it up too roughly, but this image itself is clearly AI slop.

As a biologist, I call bullshit. The anatomy is correct, but I've never seen a snail getting injured by lifting it off the ground. It's not like a suction pad. The only place where it *might* happen is a very smooth, artificial surface, like a window. But there, you'll feel the resistance, and won't rip it off. Also, usually they retreat quite fast when in danger, you don't need half a minute for that.@kupac @IngridHbn on the one hand this reply matches my experience, but on the other i've noticed a lot of normies are much, much more hasty and brutal with things who may benefit from this -
@ianrogers @IngridHbn it absolutely is AI generated. the original source is a facebook ai-generated "nature" page.
@irina thank you for the information. I unboosted it. That's why we should have always sources.

So tapping the shell to get them to retract before lifting them is mostly about good manners, then.@petealexharris
But if you just suddenly lift them off the ground, they think they're flying *really fast*!

@IngridHbn I feel bad for all the snails I've picked up the wrong way! I think they generally retracted, but still...
@DuncanMSussex If they didn't crash, it was all fine and correct! Not all snails "glue" so much to a road as this AI image suggests.

@IngridHbn it's AI, sorry if it's real advice but I can't be sure so I'm not trusting this image

@08956495 it’s from a Belgian nature organisation
@IngridHbn why can't you name them? Why can't you give us a source link?
Because people here don't boost #AISlop?! -
@IngridHbn This is why I'm on mastodon.
@matsuzine @IngridHbn to get Ai slop???

It's not so bad to teach people to be careful. But better not with AIslop.
I shortly and gently touch the snails body, retraction, then I take it. I do that only if the snail is in danger (from a parking into the green). -

@IngridHbn @08956495 as far as i can tell, the original source is this page: facebook link - it seems the entire page is ai generated stuff like this. if you did get it from a reputable 'belgian nature organisation', they got duped too.
@irina thanks. What a junk page!
