you were put on this earth to have a small treat.

"why use gen ai for placeholder"

we do occassionally pop on おかあさんといっしょ (together with mother) in the mornings and i don't mind it! the mascots are really cute. but one puppet is a rock filled with meat and, for all the episodes about him being mistreated for looking scary, i would still not hesitate to throw him into the ocean
