  Two way sounds like a window.

    but you can only see through a window one way.

    you see through a two way mirror two different ways.

      But it’s only a mirror in one of those two ways.

        If it was reflective both ways then it would obviously be called a double one way mirrors. {taps head}

        ways to look through a mirror

        1. look at your reflection

        ways to look through a two way mirror

        1. look at your reflection
        2. look at the person on the other side

        numbers don’t lie.

      When you have two eyes you see through it twice.

        but how can we see if our eyes aren’t real?

  The mirror part is only one way though.

  • funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    and then there’s another part which is a different way

  Probably:

  • one way: only a mirror in one way (side) [and just a glass in the other way (side)]
  • two way: from one side you can see both yourself and the other side [see both ways]
