What always got me was how mirrors swap right and left, but not top and bottom.

I can sit and think about it long enough it makes sense, but it's so fucking unintuitive, that i need to convince myself every time i ponder it

    that's because mirrors don't swap left and right; They swap front and back. You flip the words on a page left and right when you turn the page around to face the mirror

    What's your point exactly? I see you ranting about people reposting stuff from elsewhere. I don't visit the other place so I don't mind the repost.

    As if all the stuff here was supposed to be 100% original otherwise the fake Internet points Lemmy don't even sum in your profile IIRC are counterfeit or something?
