Physical reality seems to glitch sometimes.
I have a wooden hand mirror that’s made with a thick circle of wood that surrounds two mirrors (regular and magnifying on either side).
After several months in the humidity next to my shower, the seam in the wood came apart, leaving about a 2cm gap in the frame. I tried to fix it using a belt vice grip thing, but couldn’t get both mirrors to seat into their grooves so I could cinch the gap closed. No matter what I did, one mirror would unseat and be in the way. Cheap mirror, I gave up trying, and it’s been that way for more than a year.
About a month ago I picked it up to use it and it’s fixed itself. The gap is totally gone, with the seam perfectly tight, like it had never broken in the first place. I stood looking at it saying ‘what the fuck?’ for several minutes. It makes no sense at all.
e: it’s been in that same environment next to my shower this whole time, with no changes, so it’s not likely to be an environmental reason. So weird.
