This is peak ATBGE.

I would never in a million years wear those myself, but I admire the hell out of them.

Perfect boots to wear when you’re late for a meeting.

I was going to say the same thing...

These are AI generated, actually.

Right? It’s getting way too hard to tell. I had to really zoom in on the other laces and figure out why the other boots are usually just one or at a strange, unnatural angle.

Also, look at the hangers, count the eyelets on the boots around and see how they’re uneven on each side, etc.

@TheFriar @ivanafterall
Putting out a single boot on display is actually quite a normal practice. It increases the display capacity and reduces the chance of theft.

I honestly think we should stop improving the foundation models for this now. They're good enough for every non-deceptive purpose.

I almost downvoted you in disappointment

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Right? What is the world coming to that we can’t even have these awesome snail boots anymore without them being AI generated? Thanks, woke.

Idk, i like 'em

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unironically would love to wear these. I adore snails

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Me too. What would you pair these with?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Full leather dommy mommy gear, tan color, completely saturated in lube. Or maybe just a plain darker blue dress, green rain jacket that has leaf designs on it, and a frog umbrella (not frog designs, frog shaped with the eyes and legs that dangle)

Ah yes, the wholesome answer and the ATBGE answer.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Perfect for walking in the rain!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

But not a tour of a salt mine.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Thats a statement

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

"Are those...?"

"The Chanel snoots? Yeah."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

I would unironically wear these if they were real

Truely stupendous work.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

These are absolutely glorious.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's art! You bought them right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

No alas someone sent me this who did not buy them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

These are great.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I would absolutely wear these every day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I don't think I could pull them off/fit them, but I'd have a crush on whoever wore them. They're so cool.
