BEHOLD MY SQUEES

When you buy a pet reptile from a reputable breeder, typically what you see is what you get. They show you pictures, maybe even video, of the exact animal you're getting.

Big Apple and other clearinghouses like Underground Reptiles don't do that, but now Big Apple isn't even showing you real animals. That's right, they're using generative AI!

Here's what they say are baby albino ball pythons.

How I can tell this is AI: scale pattern is wrong, snake on the left has heat pits going all the way up and past their eyes, shape of the heads is off, eyes are cartoons.

They say this is a puff-faced water snake, an unusual species from SE Asia.

This is what a puff-faced water snake actually looks like. You will noticed that the AI-generated image is missing the feature the species is named for.

This is supposed to be a corn snake.

The hand has the right number of fingers. But the snake's head... that's a ball python head. It even has what looks like heat pits.

And this... isn't even trying.

Now, Big Apple was never great- it's a big reptile clearinghouse. You don't actually get to see the animal you buy- all images are meant to be representative. They get a lot of rare species wild-caught that they pass off as captive-bred or farmed, and they're known for shipping out sick animals. But even if you wanted to take a gamble on that, now there's literally no proof they have what they claim to have, because they're using AI-generated images instead of even representative photographs. It's not worth the gamble if you're trying to buy something rare, and it's not worth the heartache if you're trying to buy something more common. Get your animals from people you actually talk to, not these clowns.

I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out:

We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus, and Kermit as Penelope.

Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that relationship? Who is absolutely ready to go ham, at a moment’s notice?

For context when this episode will be published on webtoon in december it is meant to follow the episode I made about an experience where It was said to me by a coworker " I'm an ally, but the reason kids act the way they do now a days is because they don't know what a mommy or a daddy is. " He then went on to say that queer people have an agenda. We worked with kids.

There's a few more times when a supposed "ally" have said these kinds of things to me (especially about bisexuals) but I don't want to go into those things right now because those are whole entire conversations.

CN22 was easy. The layout was simple.

CN23 is like a tiny spreadsheet. And the example on the Royal Mail site is different to the one they generated. There's no space for my EORI number. The best I could do is put it in the comments section.

And that's another thing. Why does a customs form have a comments section?
