Gas Station Mirror Mystery Goes Viral on TikTok—and It Wasn't a Two-Way Mirror

A viral TikTok clip claimed a gas station bathroom had a two-way mirror, prompting online speculation. Follow-up inspection showed the mirrors were standard, mounted with a tiled wall behind them, not a two-way pane. The piece also outlines simple tests people use to distinguish two-way mirrors, such as the fingernail gap test and flashlight test, while noting these methods aren’t foolproof and that the setup appeared suspicious to some viewers regardless of the outcome.

Your Bathroom: A Breeding Ground for Germs

Recent research reveals that toothbrushes and shower heads in bathrooms are home to diverse microbial communities, including over 600 viruses and various bacteria. While most of these microorganisms are harmless, some, like Mycobacterium avium found in shower heads, can pose health risks. The study highlights the role of bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, in maintaining microbial balance and suggests they could be used to control harmful bacteria. Regular cleaning and maintenance of bathroom items are recommended to manage these microbial populations without overusing disinfectants.

"American Airlines Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit Over Bathroom Hidden Camera"

American Airlines is seeking to dismiss a federal lawsuit filed by the family of a 14-year-old girl who found a hidden camera in a first-class bathroom on a flight from Charlotte to Boston. The accused, Estes Thompson, allegedly directed the girl to the bathroom where she discovered his iPhone taped to the toilet seat. Investigators found recordings of girls using the bathroom on other flights and hundreds of images of AI-generated child pornography on Thompson’s iCloud account. American Airlines is arguing that it is not liable for intentional acts or crimes of its employees when it did not know of a propensity to commit such acts. Thompson faces criminal charges in Massachusetts, and the family is determined to seek justice.

"The Lid Debate: New Study Debunks Myth of Containing Viral Spray During Toilet Flush"

A study published in the American Journal of Infection Control found that flushing the toilet with the lid down does not prevent the spread of small germs, as microscopic viral particles were found all over the restroom regardless of the lid position. While closing the lid did alter the trajectory of germs, the best way to reduce spread is by disinfecting the toilet, water, and nearby surfaces. Germs can linger for about 30 minutes after flushing, so it's advised to keep personal items away from the bathroom and avoid using your phone in there.
