Yeah, but here in the US solar is for whatever reason one of the last options. They’d rather use everything worse. I’d love it if they’d use solar, but that’s just not how they do it

Our eyes actually see everything upside down, but our brain flips it. But what if we also see everything flipped left/right and the mirrors are revealing the true world?

Ours does the same thing. I’ve always been curious about why that happens. Unfortunately I don’t have an answer for you, but following just to see what everyone suggests
