Uncanny Valley

/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.
"I just met Ron DeSantis and shook his hand. It was so cold and clammy. All my hairs stood on end and I was shaking because the uncanny valley feeling he gave me... dude, I need a drink. He's not real. He's just... he's not human. No soul.... no soul... no soul. Let's get that drink. Dude? Dude, what are you looking at? Why aren't you looking at m...

"Shhhh honey, it's okay. It was just a dream. I'm here now."

"Is that Dozer under the covers with us?"

"Yeah honey." *too Dozer under covers* "Hey Dozie! Who's a good boy! See honey? It's Dozer."
*Throws cover off*

"Hi Buddy! I'm Ron DeSantis and I eat children.... 's textbooks. I mean meet, uhhh. oh, 'yeetie'. I 'yeetie' children's..."

Happy Valley

A happy valley is a ‘place’ where people go when they are stoned/high. It’s a place where things spin, things are happy, very vibrant colours appear, and there are a lot of different terms for this but the most common is definitely a happy valley.

There are a few meanings for this term, some of them being inappropriate.

However, it is mainly to describe what kind of ‘world’ people enter when they become high on drugs.
Apparently Lacey got high, and she kept saying that she was in the happy valley. We weren’t quite sure what that meant.”
“Oh, its the place where people go when they’re stoned, everything spins it’s very vibrant and happy! Tell her to be careful.”
