Why's the syringe got two 1's on it?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 week ago

That's a Fibonacci syringe.

Everything else looks pretty real to me that that's a sign this might be AI

Yup. Each number also has six lines between them. There's usually only four lines from what I've seen. One line = ⅕ ml, or 200 μL. Some thinner syringes will have markings for 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 ml. Those have one line for each ⅒ ml, but still only four lines between the numbered markers.

I feel like maybe this generated image was influenced by an image of a syringe with the half-ml markings, like in the picture below. Then there would be two markings starting with 1, and with 2, and so on. But the generation missed the ".5" part. 😅

The screw/nail is also sus. Why such a short thread?

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Same as the logo on the plastic packaging. Pretty sure this image is AI generated. My only question is: why???

and the fastener heads on the knife are all fucked up

Yeah, the milliliters should be divided into 5 parts, not 6.

Could be a hybrid?

A Scrail? Nrew?

[–] prex@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Twisted shank nails are a thing. This image somehow looks wrong though, same as the knife.

To test the syringe for blockage? Idk
