Why's the syringe got two 1's on it?
That's a Fibonacci syringe.
The screw/nail is also sus. Why such a short thread?
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?
Twisted shank nails are a thing. This image somehow looks wrong though, same as the knife.
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. 😅
collapsed inline media
To test the syringe for blockage? Idk
