@kupac @IngridHbn The apparent high production cost of the image makes it appear trustworthy. Good illustrations, professional seeming graphic design. But I see other commenters pointing out it is likely AI generated based on the origin. It's often impossible to tell these days. Even the slop-slingers have access to models good enough pass a close inspection.
@Qybat @kupac @IngridHbn
Snail in steps 2-4 is in the opposite direction.
Text in image is saying something about same direction.The human hand does have the correct number of fingers; that's now a solved problem.

@IngridHbn Source??? AI???
@MartaLatour @IngridHbn
Definitely AI.Source linked here: https://infosec.exchange/@jrdepriest/116129232596997292

@IngridHbn Thank you for sharing this! I have pet giant African landsnails and the way I explain it is the shell is hard, like your fingernails, but it would hurt if someone picked you up by your fingernails too because they're connected to delicate tissue. I'd also add that sometimes touching the shell isn't enough - some of my snails are more cautious than others and retract immediately, whereas with some of the more bold ones you have to (gently!) tap repeatedly. Also they're less likely to go back in if they're eating something they like. It really does show that even creatures as simple as snails have distinct personalities and preferences

Hafta say, if it is, the state of the art has improved significantly. What are the LLM tells?

@IngridHbn
If you really want to hurt a snail, you may be able to break its mantle (never seen it actually happen), but the crack on the foot looks ridiculous.Tangential fun fact: snails intentionally stab each other during mating. Look up "love dart"!
@kupac
What's their reason behind that behavior? -
@kupac
What's their reason behind that behavior?@nuwagaba2 @kupac Retracting quickly? So they can be completely protected by the shell.
-
@IngridHbn always umount your snail before removing the device

Thanks for the education. Don't some nails lose their lives in such processes? -
@IngridHbn
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 As another biologist, I can tell you that most of the snails that appear on my terrace are not going to be there long after I have noticed them. How I pick them up is the least of their worries.

@IngridHbn I kinda knew this, and great to get it confirmed
@webhat @IngridHbn@mastodon.online apparently this is AI slop and not even correct.

@IngridHbn is this AI generated infographic?
-
@petealexharris It's their house. So AISlop tells you to knock at the door.
@kupac @IngridHbn@NatureMC @petealexharris @kupac @IngridHbn my thought, exactly: AIslop generated misinfo-graphic.
-
@IngridHbn wrong AI slop, take it down
-
@IngridHbn Gee, never knew that!
@joopdelfijn because it's not true, the image is AI slop. there are biologists in the replies who explain.
-
@IngridHbn I didn't know this before now.
@saskboy because it's not true, the image is AI slop. there are biologists in the replies who explain

@IngridHbn ty for this, this is actually something that stressed me every time I need to move a snail
@Nexy it's not true, it's AI slop

@InkySchwartz
Thanks for the education. Don't some nails lose their lives in such processes?@nuwagaba2 By rerreating into their shells? No, because that is their evolved defence. By being grabbed like this, no unless maybe the snail is on glass or other super smooth man made surface. But the foot of the snail is not a suction cup but more like a sticky pad that is strong enough to hold but is not a glue.
I hope this helps.

@IngridHbn @artcollisions @nev it may be AI but it's still good advice so I redrew it.
