The Persuasive Mirror is a device that monitors your appearance and behavior and “reflects” an image of the future you. The goal is to provide motivation for people who aren’t taking care of themselves… for instance, a poor eater might see his reflected self as overweight.

Just to see what would happen, I purchased two of them and aimed them at each other face-to-face. There was a rip in the fabric of spacetime, and the mirrors disappeared into a vortex of spinning light. The only thing left over was this bizarre image, which slowly faded away. It’s still giving me nighmares.
