The church livestream that exposed my own fake detection blind spot

Last Sunday I watched a sermon clip where the pastor's glasses reflected a window that wasn't in the actual church setup, and I realized I'd been ignoring reflections as a signal for months. How do you guys check for reflection mismatches in low-res videos without overthinking every pixel?

Started staring at my phone screen reflection during a video call the other day, convinced I spotted a lamp behind me that doesn't exist. Turns out it was just my ceiling light, and I nearly sent a screenshot to my group chat before realizing I'm the one who's the fake.

Reflection checking is like my own personal rabbit hole now, except instead of a cute bunny it's just a pastor's dumb glasses ruining my Sunday. Low-res video already looks like someone smeared vaseline on the lens, so I just squint and look for anything that moves like it shouldn't. The only real trick I got is pausing on any shiny surface and comparing it to a scene screenshot, but half the time I end up convincing myself the church has secret windows they never showed. You ever catch yourself staring at a forehead glare for five minutes like it's gonna confess something?
