@IngridHbn this will be useful for future snail-moving

Looks fake.

@IngridHbn That looks much quicker! I used to put a leaf or something in front of them and see if they would crawl on, then shift them to a safe place. This would take a while!

@IngridHbn is this AI generated infographic?

@IngridHbn I feel bad for all the snails I've picked up the wrong way! I think they generally retracted, but still...

taylor@social.axfive.net

@IngridHbn Just to jump on the snail sex bandwagon.

@IngridHbn @simonzerafa "always boop snail shell to retract before lifting"

@ianrogers @IngridHbn it absolutely is AI generated. the original source is a facebook ai-generated "nature" page.

@IngridHbn hi Ingrid, in the interest of transparency could you indicate which platform did you use to generate this image or credit the artist? It very much looks like the info graphics some AIs are putting out. It would be much appreciated if AI is properly tagged on mastodon.

@irina @ianrogers @IngridHbn and this is how AI slop starts creeping into the fediverse

@IngridHbn There's a life metaphor in here somewhere.

@IngridHbn Thank you for this.

@IngridHbn sorry, but where do I use the salt shaker?

A reverse image search found two Facebook posts, both from any 12 to 13 hours ago.

One of identical. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18GVUfbX2J/

The other is almost identical but stylized differently. https://www.facebook.com/share/1CNx3QkoGW/

The search didn't turn up any earlier versions of that infographic.

@IngridHbn This is why I'm on mastodon.

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.

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"!

ingridhbn@mastodon.online

@synfinatic ????? Do you really hurt animals intentionally?
