@IngridHbn is this AI generated infographic?

@IngridHbn
This is really well communicated here, thank you for sharing it.Although (because I am an atrocious pedant) most land snails aren't a him or a her... they're hermaphrodites!
@HauntedOwlbear @IngridHbn him and her, really. Or hir, em, them, etc.…

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

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

@IngridHbn is this AI generated infographic?
@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.

@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. -

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"!

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

@08956495 it’s from a Belgian nature organisation
-
@2ndNatureDev @IngridHbn or "her+him"? bcause they are both.
@radaufheber @2ndNatureDev oh yes of course
-
@IngridHbn But why do you need to pick up a snail only to put it back in the direction it was heading?
Also the graphic shows the snail being turned around to face the other way.

@lydiaconwell @IngridHbn When it's crossing a street. We sometimes try to help them cross a street, or a path faster. Otherwise they could be run over by a car, or a biker, or a human could step on it.

New post:
"What I'm up to – February 2026 edition"
🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/what-im-up-to-february-2026-edition/
a blog post that chronicles what I've been up to this past month: from attending #FOSDEM in Brussels to creating an easy-to-follow self-hosting guide for newbies…
I also discussed what is my "written by a human" handwritten message is at the bottom, for those who may have been confused by it. As I say, it's "an act of defiance and rebellion against AI and LLMs..."

@kiwiWolle thank you! 🥰

@esilvia @ALFA
...comunque era l'anno dei miei 25 anni (1990) e credevo in questo imminente futuro europeo insieme.
Molto è cambiato, ma l'idea di un'unica grande nazione ancora non si è avverata, e non la vedo nemmeno all'orizzonte. Resto comunque fiducioso, nonostante tutto... 😊

to be fair though, computer skills can't help much with printers. You need to use witchcraft instead.

@_elena failing at printers is a qualification for IT professionals. nobody understands it :)
-
@Gina for sure! 🥰
she's a bit skeptical of my computer skills after I failed to get the printer to work the other day, but I'm trying to restore a good image, LOL
-
@_elena oh my... good idea. I probably should show my 8 year old daughter my website.
