I made a new mouth mechanism. I'm calling it Selectramatronics.

@ancientjames I was going to ask if this is inspired by these weird ball based typewriters. But then I looked up what they were called and saw the name you gave to yours and now I have no more questions, your honor.

Selectramatronics is a portmanteau of portmanteaux. That's why it rolls off the tongue so smoothly.

@ancientjames as a native speaker of German I detect zero traces of irony in your sentence. Or as we call it Ironiedetektionsunfähigkeitsphänomen. See, rolls off the tongue.

@ancientjames I find this smart/cool engineering.👍🏻Still wondering though why there is spent so much effort to "mask" the fact it is nonhuman/a tool.To me the resulting products of those efforts are rather creepy - especially as "closer" they get to humanlike appearances. 😬

@ancientjames Still nope. The seam around the mouth is somehow a lot weirder than an articulated puppet jaw/chin. Maybe we're just conditioned to accept puppets with jaws, though.

@rickbelanger it does have teeth, they’re just the same fleshy colour as the rest of the ball. I need to decide whether I trust my painting abilities at that scale.
