    At best it's concept art, tho that thin strap probably wouldn't serve the purpose they're looking for. At worst it's generated by clickbait article writers.

    How could they pass up an "electrified facehugger penis sheath" image like this?

    I'm just imagining the scene in a sci fi comedy.

    "I thought you said we were getting mechanical tails? Why the Hell is this attached to my front?"

    "Experiments determined that this was actually the more effective and cheaper option. Don't worry, a front tail works just fine for balance!"

    What kind of office chair has one leg that's 50% longer than the others and why is there a tube extending directly downward from the ceiling to above that chair? People cranking out this sort of thing absolutely use AI instead of Photoshop now.
