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

I also imagine this guy’s kids’ crafts

My kid demonstrated antimaterialism.

Imagining a kid with an anti-materiel rifle also works.

I choose that guy's dead wife.

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?

If you were to just lend me the bread!

Speak with a deeper tone, project your voice (sometimes referred to as speaking from your diaphragm), and curse a lot.

As an autistic person I used something similar to learn how to smile.

Don't forget to make piercing eye contact!

Wh...what does that look like?

Don't have kids, don't want 'em, but what works for me is imagining my cats doing literally anything ☺️

If my kid does something cool I do a "impressed" face

Imagine your child with a binder full of shinies.

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.

The profile pic makes me doubt their claims.
