how many mirrors are in your home?

[ww@xyzzy.link]

@dee counting or not counting pocket and desk mirrors?

[dee@social.treehouse.systems]

@ww count them all I think

[ww@xyzzy.link]

@dee 6+!

[dee@social.treehouse.systems]

@ww really? damn... I know of 1 in this home, and someone thought that was low.

Maybe it's me, I'm the anomaly

@dee whoops forgot about bathroom mirror too. We really only have one “dedicated” mirror—a small one in our front hallway. Otherwise they’re built-in: outer door of wardrobe, in the hall tree, bathroom medicine chest.

@dee ha actually 5– there’s a makeup mirror that swings out from the bathroom mirror

[ww@xyzzy.link]

@dee 1 in the bathroom, 1 in the hallway in front of the entrance door, 1 in the living room (to make it look bigger, i think. i don't really like it, but it's useful, being the only mirror i can see lower than my waist). then 1 desk mirror for skincare/makeup, 1 folding pocket mirror i take with me and 1 mirror on the back of my hairbrush, which i don't use anymore now that i have a desk mirror. i want to replace the desk mirror with one with led lights, so there's gonna be 7 somewhat soon.

dunno, i don't know what i would do without the hallway and bathroom mirrors. like, i wanna be able to make sure my hair looks good after i put on my shoes, and when washing my face, especially after brushing teeth..

@dee two pocket sized makeup mirrors, two bathroom mirrors and one debian mirror

@dee@social.treehouse.systems does it count if I actively avoid them?

[catzilla@toot.cat]

@dee Our bedroom closet has mirror doors which really helps when you're getting dressed. Mirrors in both bathrooms, I also have 5x makeup mirror because otherwise I can't apply mascara (I recommend the ones with lights, it helps). There are some decor mirrors because the house is really dark and it helps making it brighter.

I found out the cat has learned what a mirror is and likes to observe my reflection in the mirrors. She has interacted with mirrors before in a way it meant she knew the image was coming from somewhere else and I thought it was so cute

@dee Depends if you count inside the bathroom cabinet door as well as outside, and any of the small hand-held or free-standing. For anything larger than about 10cm, it's 2 bathroom cabinets (one bathroom, one cloakroom). At the old house, I went through a phase of covering the one in the cloakroom in bubble wrap so I didn't have to see myself. For small mirrors, I've got one compact, one small free-standing ... I guess it's a make-up mirror? It's double-sided and one side magnifies. It used to be my mum's. I've also got a palm-sized one she gave me for self-inspection post-surgery.

@dee@social.treehouse.systems mirrors for humans or mirrors for playing with optics?

(1 and… dozens)

[sarraceniawilds@sunny.garden]

@dee here i thought 'wow 6+, are mirror walls back in vogue' totally forgot people use hand mirrors

i have 2, a built in cabinet mirror and a full length over door, both in bathroom. rarely used and to look at me i think you could tell lol

[theynege@beige.party]

@dee does a mirror closet door with two panels that slide open (in front of or behind the other) count as one or two?

[aoanla@hachyderm.io]

@tryst @dee if you count the latter then Dee has at least 2 just from her DSLRs!
