The dino benches are super cute. The angle is a little weird, though. And there's other seating if you're scared of dinosaurs. Looks like there's non-dino flat benches in the back on the right and a raised stone bench / retaining wall area on the left with grass and trees. I'm a little worried that there's no arm rests on any of the seating areas, though. It might be difficult for people with mobility issues to stand back up. Super cute for in front of a dino museum, though! And I totally want one.

ok so for those of you who don’t know, there’s this twitter account of a japanese local hero mascot named dentman who went viral recently due to this tweet

but yeah he saw the tweet. and his response went viral as well (which is how i found his account)

and he just has like. hourly posts reminding you to brush your teeth

oh and his rival? his name is mr. mutans. whenever dentman posts he makes a post of his own, ofc

but THAT’S NOT ALL. literally while making this post i found a THIRD ACCOUNT that’s all about taking your meds

safe to say i’m losing my mind

anyway the point of all this was that people are ALREADY beginning to draw them ship art 😭

and the reactions are everything

I CANT ADD ANY MORE IMAGES BUT TRUST ME THIS IS SO FUNNY

toxic one-sided dentman yaoi wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but it DEFINITELY IS NOW!

Paintings of hammerhead sharks depicted in the "Oki National Products Illustration Notes". From Japan, Edo Period, 1735 CE

[Edit: 10/18: This art might be AI art according to some folks who have only found it referenced starting about a month ago in various social media posts (including this one). If I have unconsciously spread AI art around, I apologize. If it turns out this is a verified historical thing, neat. If people keep sending me anonymous messages calling me unpleasant names for posting AI art occasionally, I will continue to block them rather than reply.] Edit 2: 10/18:

In case it helps with the shark/AI art stuff, it does appear legit:

"What if Goromi was more in line with Majima's personal style post-Zero and also from the 1980's" was a thought I followed to it's inevitable conclusion last night
