Because also it's about paleontology! It's a field I'm super interested in and so I get ads for it all the time. Which only makes me resent this company even more
A screenshot of a likely AI generated image of an anatomically inaccurate Tyranosaurus rex on a t-shirt. The animal has 3 digits on its arms and appears much larger than perspective should allow.

Idk about yall, but I'm so tired of seeing clothing sites that advertise themselves as sustainable and eco-conscious and then everything on their shirts are AI

Like of course it's almost certainly just an easy money scheme but still it just angers me to no end
A likely AI generated shirt design featuring variously inaccurate dinosaur skeleton reconstructions. Most obvious is the Velociraptor with 2 sickle claws on the same foot and a leg that does not join with the pelvis and the Tyranosaurus with 3 digits on its arms and the same issue with the rear leg not attaching to the pelvis.
