It says "unnatural facial expression" under the smiling photo.

I think this comes a translation/wording issue. They probably mean a “neutral” expression, which is what your comment describes. I’d think of an “unnatural” expression as an exaggerated smile or something else off putting

No, "nienaturalny" literally translates to unnatural. Of course I know what they meant by that, but it's funny because life is hell here.

This play on words is really struggling to find an audience.

I wanted you to know I appreciated it.
