Honestly a pretty impressive piece of technology. It seems so obvious in modern day but bring someone from the late 1700s to modern day and they would be astounded how every single person, poor or rich, have crystal clear glass windows in their homes, when they were using animal skins and wooden shutters. It was barely a century ago that we had the modern window we all take for granted.

The one invention that lets people see through walls!

Stained glass windows are for looking at and some are quite lovely.

Practical Engineering had a great video about this recently. (Also on YouTube)

Mirrors are for indirectly looking at things.

Nah, 'man. Windows are for the views.

I use Windows to make my computer run like shit

Through becomes at with the right scenery.

TranslucentTB is really looking sharp tbh. Haven't found anything on linux that can compare. Then again, I haven't really been looking.

I hate shopping for mirrors. You can never find a new one. They're all used, you can tell as soon as you look at them.

The closest I've seen is Schroedenger...supposedly. But like half the time you get an empty box.
