Dude, it worked, wow. I just imagine something my kids actually made IRL, instant genuine smile. Powerful.

The bottom teeth showing isn't a strong indicator, some people do that even with a real smile, but the eyes are a giveaway.

Thanks for this! Do you also have one for making your voice sound more trustworthy and less hungry?
As an autistic person I used something similar to learn how to smile.
Don't have kids, don't want 'em, but what works for me is imagining my cats doing literally anything ☺️
Me last night: I put those chips out of reach for a reason!
Child: I can reach the ladder.
Me: You think you're sooooo smart.
My eyes, which can't lie: ooooh smart kid
Ah, crap. I don't have kids. Or neurotypical processing. Or dignity. I'll find a way to cheese it, though.
