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...

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

@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 almost downvoted you in disappointment

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 4 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.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Idk, i like 'em

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unironically would love to wear these. I adore snails

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Me too. What would you pair these with?

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months 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)

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 months ago

Ah yes, the wholesome answer and the ATBGE answer.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

"Are those...?"

"The Chanel snoots? Yeah."

[–] blackfire@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Thats a statement

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Perfect for walking in the rain!

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

But not a tour of a salt mine.

[–] ResoluteCatnap@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

I would unironically wear these if they were real

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 7 points 4 months ago

Truely stupendous work.

[–] Kaput@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's art! You bought them right?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

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

[–] watermelonpaloma@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 months ago

These are absolutely glorious.

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

These are great.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 4 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.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 4 months ago

The Patricia Highsmith Special, I see

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I would absolutely wear these every day.
