/ʌnˌkæn.i ˈvæl.i/ noun.
A cognitive phenomenon identified by robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970, the 'Uncanny Valley' effect is an inverted bell curve signifying a general tendency of humans to experience less affinity for mechanical objects as their appearance, movements, and sounds approach human resemblance as a robot. This decline in affinity becomes discomfort because as the machine more approximates a human body and head, and peaks where the face most accurately resembles a human face while the expressions it is programmed with, not being as intricate or precise as real human expressions, create a more 'alive but inhuman' impression.
As the physical appearance, movements, expressions, and vocalizations of the robot begin to more approximate those of a human, that 'creep factor' declines until the human form, face, movements, expressions, and vocalizations (and perhaps scents, breathing patterns, and pulse) is replicated by the robot at which point human discomfort with the robot would, theoretically, vanish.

Get the Silicone Valleymug. An IRL fever dream. You could be at this school for 15 fucking minutes and witness so much weird shit that it’ll feel like ur on an acid trip. This place is full of rich white and Asian kids who act like they’re from the trenches and say the N word, when in reality they live in a 5 bedroom home in the hills with a loving family. They’ll say they’re “part of a gang” I’m still waiting to see what fucking gangs there are in Castro Valley California. Everyone this school also vapes the fuck out of their lungs. They’ll be sucking on that vape like they’re giving head to a black guy, and causing a damn gas chamber in the bathrooms. The Asians at this school all have a middle part and think it makes them look like a lead BTS member, when in reality they just look like nerds. The pick me girls also roam the halls while literally talking to 25 guys at the same time and carrying 15 STD’s. You can’t catch a fucking break at this school cause even if ur minding ur own damn business some idiot will come up to u and start acting genuinely autistic.
Guy 1: I’m going to castro valley high next year
Guy 2: holy shit why?
Guy 1: I gotta see those wannabe gangsters, weebs, and pick me hoes

Get the Castro Valley Highmug. A region of southern California that consists of southern Thousand Oaks/Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, a little bit of Calabasas, and Oak Park which is actually not apart of this region or county, but is considered one of the region's neighborhoods. Each one of these "communities" has a specific trait:
Thousand Oaks/Newbury Park: Working class Simi Valley - type people
Westlake Village: Skater teens and rich adults
Agoura Hills: Wannabe gangster teens who do drugs and tag walls in parking lots, and redneck adults who are friendly but clueless about these incidents
Calabasas: Rich people but bad schools
Oak Park: Pot heads and insane/unexpected news, like kidnappings and pedophiles
