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.

It's heated.
Don't believe any of the other comments, this is clearly a one-way mirror with a camera inside. That conspiracy theory you've been thinking about a lot lately is true, and even worse they know you are on to them. Remember that creak in the floorboards you dismissed as the house settling? Footsteps. The way your coffee mug was turned slightly counterclockwise this morning? Intentional. They watch you when you sleep, and know how much time you spend looking at your phone.
Or it's what the top comment said. Sleep tight!

Writing this in the top comment doesn't help, like, at all...
For anyone who wants to achieve the same effect take a dry bar of soap and rub some into an area of a mirror in whatever shape you like (circle, square etc). Then buff it out with a dry soft towel or cloth until you can no longer see the soap. Next time you take a shower that part of the mirror won't be fogged up. Reapply soap and buff out every couple weeks or so if you want it to stay that way.
I'm going to draw penises the next time at a friend's house
I like to do this for my wife to find. She really loves that she's married to a 40yr old child.
Hunted penises
Yes for anybody wearing goggles or glasses outside if you rub soap like dish soap and circles on the lenses it will prevents them from fogging up and will not streak because the circles thing. Vinegar sort of works too but doesn't stick on as well as soap.
I wanted to write "i see you" before I left my last apartment. Didn't get the nerve to do it because I worried someone would slip and fall
Uhh, because of the heat of the raspberry pi & camera behind there
Ah yes, 10W of heat :3
Ahh yes, because that would produce exactly square shaped heat.
Why else would it be called the inverse square law?
- Gets rid of fog
- is in shape of a square
Makes sense to me!

These are such a good idea. It works by having a mirror behind the heater which prevents the reflection.
Alright, but now the heater is in the way.
Yeah, that's why it prevents the reflection

Guessing this is a hotel bathroom by the looks of it.
Then it very likely has a mirror with integrated heating. I have one myself and love it.
It’s heated.
I had this happen in a hotel, and being curious I removed the mirror, and yes there was a hole in the wall behind it, no there wasn't a camera there. It was just were they had ran the wiring for the lights on the mirror.
It would make sense that it serves like an access hatch to a terminal block that feeds the whole room. It's simple, costs nothing, is easy to get to (compared to having it sealed in the wall), protected from splashing and prying guests, and close to where you want most lights and outlets.

This comments section feels like schizophrenia.

Wait until someone finds a screwdriver.
There's a ghost in your house that's trying to tell you "rectangle", but it's illiterate.
Try to figure out what "rectangle" means.
Nah, just means that the mirror can't render the Unicode character that the ghost has sent.

Just posting to say I was here when everyone replied with "These are such a good idea. It works by having a heater behind the mirror which prevents the condensation."
There are coatings /sprays for this
I think in this particular case it might be an integrated heating element like this: https://clearmirror.com/products/shower-clearmirror
They're popular in shower rooms in Japan.

Ps. Excuse the multiple posts. fedia.io was having a moment. I’ve deleted them now
Apparently no one here has been to a Home Depot or Lowe's in the last 15 years.
