Some scraped and furious vipers here (joining in the AI fun 😁)

Dese sneks rr not mich betr van cats tew bee onist!

Changed the brush to an ice scraper... anyway, must get back to the day job 😂

Not sure about that but why don't you share it here?

@GrimbutGerbil I really do love those cat designs, any chance of them being added to the shop on a t-shirt or maybe a bag?

How tight are the necks on the standard T-shirts?

I may have missed some (probably have), so if I have let me know, but people have mentioned some of the renderings from the end of thread two and this one, so I've sent the larger files of the following through to @GrimbutGerbil to see if the Gerbils can do anything with them.

Thank you! 😸

The gerbils right now...

"we're too busy trying on hats!"

I gotta call out the 'trash gerbils'. That is exactly how I dressed in my mid teens.

Why is no one commenting on all the hamster interlopers in BoiledBeetle’s AI images? AI: still a bit shit. ⭐️ to BB for her persistence with it.

Are you denying those hamsters gerbil identities?!?!?

There's only one way to resolve this...

Fiiiiight!

Vipers (or velociraptors) reacting to the news of their scraped corpus should be the welcome banner and backdrop to the stage for the IAFLL conference.

In other news, Teemill gerbils have put 2nd order in post, they've been very busy.

God knows how they are actually getting any tshirts out as they are rather busy pratting around with the clothes dye and making rodent size tshirts!

Pah, forget your puny hamsters and gerbils. Give me Rodents of Unusual Size any day.

As you wish.

'Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes.'
like for instance knowing that gerbils do not wear little t-shirts that they make themselves, that hamsters do not identify as gerbils to get a mention on FWR, that gerbils do not stage demonstrations, holding little placards, that vipers do not use hair brushes, or ice scrapers, that otters do not form boybands..
And yet, here they all are, thanks to BoiledBeetle, and I'm laughing till there are tears in my eyes.
You're making cognitive dissonance A Good Thing, Boiled😂

You know when Sex Matters asked people to sponsor a copy of Helen Joyce's book so it could be sent to MPs, headteachers etc.?

I would sponsor a Tshirt or tote bag for the delegates at the IAFLL conference…

The gerbils see your offering. They would like to know if people have any particular preferences for a) which ones and b) on what so that they can get the products right.

[The gerbils are on a road trip tomorrow so it might not be until Sunday].

This is also genius.

Oh, please can you do a black bag with the dinos eating and drinking with the sunburst background? I've still not put in my order.

@GrimbutGerbil Could we have the top one of these on a canvas bag? It's adorable.

I am a shining example to children of why you don't take illegal drugs! It messes with your adult brain!

What do you mean gerbils DO NOT wear little t shirts?? You are obviously mixing in the wrong gerbil circles. You've probably accidentally joined the nudist gerbil group instead of the clothed gerbil group. It's an easy mistake to make, especially when the weather is warm.

I will say though that the hairbrush/ice scraper vipers are the work of

@WitchyWitcherson

@GrimbutGerbil I'd love steampunk gersters/hambils on a t-shirt, and my husband has expressed a desire for steampunk gerbils in suffragette themed tophats on a t-shirt.

So I can send the larger files through to our gerbil master can you confirm which numbers you and your husband are interested in (I did try to get the AI to do a white a green and a purple hat, but it wouldn't play ball for most of the pictures!)
