Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

there are no "one-way" mirrors. You just need to make your side darker than the other side (there's a reason the observation side of a two-way mirror is never brightly lit, but the interrogation room is)

Tldr: put your face right up against it and use your hands to block out as much light as you can

15 upvotes? Really? Mirrors are painted on the back with opaque paint.

Are we cross posting this to a flat earth science forum?

but a one-way mirror (also known as a two-way mirror) is one that you can see through in one direction
