This infographic about how to pick up a snail is going viral, but it was AI-generated and numerous biologists have chimed in to say it is wrong.

(I previously boosted it, but have un-boosted. The post author has been informed, and *edit: has deleted the post!)

@nev Oh. I didn't realize it was AI generated, but still I didn't boost it because the illustrations seemed off.
I picked up plenty of snails as a kid and I literally never saw their feet break.
Thanks for the info, now I feel better about not boosting it 😆
