i think the first thing anyone would do with a time machine is go look at dinosaurs. the more messed up people would then go on to hunt and/or gently caress some dinosaurs, but going to take a look would still be the first step.

the first thing i would w / a time machien is go back to like 1403 and hit a bunch of guys with a stick and then travel back to modern times and take a history class and learn all about the mysterious stick-hitting man in 1403

In that case, we should instead be asking whether Yoshi can really be considered a dinosaur? He is a member of an intelligent race from a world full of creatures with superficial resemblances to things from our world (like turtles and mushrooms), but this resemblance doesn't mean he is actually a dinosaur. Koopas look like but aren't ever referred to as turtles. Yoshi has even less resemblance to real world dinosaurs than Koopa troopers do to turtles. He has some traits which are more reminiscent of frogs, and some which are entirely alien (like creating eggs from devoured prey).

Yoshi is definitely a dinosaur. He comes from a place called Dinosaur Land. His unique traits (like his long sticky tongue and bizarre egg-laying abilities) are almost certainly a natural evolutionary response to the harsh selective pressures that arise from living in an isolated island region infested with the various exotic predators native to the greater Mushroom World. The only reason individuals like Princess Peach and Mario don't exhibit any such similar traits is because they likely descend from a lineage of non-native human immigrants to the Mushroom World. This is why they frequently make use of artificial augments--that is, the various Power-Up technologies which were developed by Mushroom Kingdom scientists in order to give the non-powered human immigrants the competitive advantage they need to survive in such a harsh environment.

Okay I can buy that, but the Yoshi line of inquiry has raised a disturbing possibility about the seemingly human residents of the Mushroom Kingdom. I don't wish to derail from the dinosaur theme of this thread, but at the same time there is a pressing issue to consider concerning
whether all of the humans are as they seem. Mario and Luigi are Italian, so they must be non-native to the Mushroom Kingdom, but this isn't true of Peach. Peach's status as the supposedly human ruler of a kingdom of toadstools has always been problematic. But consider for a second her complete lack of sexual or romantic interest in Mario.

Mario is a virile Italian man, talented at everything he attempts, possessed of a charming happy-go-lucky personality, and has demonstrated an intense dedication to her well-being. By all rights this working class hero should be a wet dream for a woman like Peach, who is otherwise trapped in passionless and restrained high society. However, rather than being desperate to have him plumb her pipes she instead shows him no interest. While no woman is obligated to love a man just because he has rescued her, Peach's cake-cooking as reward habit seems almost blind to Mario.

What if she truly is blind to him? What if Peach does not possess a human woman's sexual appetites, which would otherwise make Mario's intense masculinity irresistible? My hypothesis is that Peach is not human at all, but is in fact of the same species as her toadstool subjects. She appears human, in contrast to toads, but this could be explained by sexual dimorphism (toadette is obviously the sole transgender representative of the Toad species). Meanwhile, toads all look so similar that their species and the individual named Toad are often conflated. This similarity of appearance suggests that they are all very closely related. I believe that Peach is not just the ruler of the mushroom kingdom but the mother of the toadstool people, having produced them all through sporification.

Toads are a hive fungi, the Mushroom World equivalent of a beehive. Peach is the queen fungi, although she prefers to go by princess for the sake of alliteration. Whether Mario is aware of this is unclear.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

There were no "dinosaurs", actually. Scientists have just been organizing and reorganizing a pile of bones in different dragonlike shapes to satisfy their own internal ideas about what they should look like. Ever see the "man in the moon" or the "face on mars"? Dinosaur fossils work the same way. Why else would they look so much like dragons?

In reality, these bones were all part of one, gigantic countless-headed creature. It's unclear if this was a race of beings or one, single entity. To gaze upon such a being would literally drive a human insane, and it ruled the Earth for millions of years before mysteriously dying.

If that sounds unsettling, consider this: The only way something like this nameless being could have died and had ots parts scattered all over the Earth is if something even more terrible killed it.

they found like one fossil with feather marks after over a century looking with nothing to show for it and all of a sudden this was thrown around like fact and every fossil with anything to do with feathers ever since then is added to the evidence for all dinosaurs having feather because "well its probably a dinosaur feather its old"
nevermind that theyre tarding up imagery of dinosaurs with pictures of dinosaurs covered in feathers that we recognize as the type birds use for flight whereas flightless dinosaur feathers would not have evolutionary pressure toward that design and would likely have feathers you likely wouldnt even call feathers if you saw one
and its always brightly-colored bird feathers theyre covered by with all range of purposes because surely based on this no-evidence the velociraptor adorned every color of the rainbow

There are many fossils of feather imprints now. We even know that a microraptor was coloured black, white and red.

How do feathers make dinosaurs less cool? Is a tiger less cool because it has fur? How about wolves, bears or leopards?

The feathers many dinosaurs would have had were downy feathers, like the kind young birds have before their flight feathers come in.
