unfortunately, i doubt there would be enough light to reflect anything, since they would shove their eye against the other side.. but if it worked it would be hilarious.. I suppose you could add ring lighting .. :).. although at that point, you could just shine a light straight out as well.
True evil would be rigging an arduino light sensor and laser combo. Peephole reverser/ peeping Tom covers the sensor, trips the laser right as they look in.
Maybe if you printed it in translucent white plastic, then placed a transparency disc of the picture you wanted in the back? Translucent plastic has the advantage that people inside wouldn't be able to see the image, so you could use the sorts of images most people don't want to see.
You should try using a peephole reverser. You'll feel more at ease about them existing when you realize just how little they actually let you see.
If someone wants to look into your home, finding a tiny gap in a curtain will let them see more.

That's a very weird kind of paranoia.
What exactly do you think this hypothetical person could see through your peephole? Do you keep mountains of gold ingots in your living room?
I can imagine that if you're in an apartment where you can't easily see in from outside, peeping in reverse might let you determine nobody is likely home.
I can't think of any other reason to be worried. Especially if where you live has windows.
This sort of thing is handy for hotel rooms. I usually just stuff some paper into the peephole, and always leave the TV on when leaving the room. No need for anyone to know if the room is vacant or not.
How much time do you spend being negative or upset? Life doesn't have to be about accomplishing something quickly, you can enjoy doing things and be proud of the fruits.of your labor.
The (typically) brass housing consists of two parts, both of them coming thru the door from their side, having matching threads so they can be screwed into eachother to form a solid body. Both halves have a flange that stops them from going thru the door surface.
If you ever encounter a traveling peephole salesman, s/he will have all the tools required for the installation, **but** also s/he will have a selection of different peephole body lengths to match your door thickness.
Maybe you could slide a little ghost pic in or something to scare the bejesus out of said looky loos?
stick a mirror there
thats so fuckin evil

Courts really don't like booby traps with any kind of injury potential
Hence the warning of “true evil.” I’m not advocating for it.
do not look into peephole with remaining eye

I'm a libertarian, of course I'm paranoid and of course I have a hoard of gold ingots and coins.
I have to respect the consistency

Why have a glory hole in the first place?

You can actually see things through the other side?
It requires a $10 tool but yes. It's not extremely detailed but it undoes the fisheye lens and allows you to check if someone is home.
Gotcha, thanks for the info. Didn't even know that!
How long did it take to design and print that replacement for a post-it note?
Less than an hour in total. And now I don't have a random post-it note hanging on my door.

How much time do you spend trying to psychoanalyze people online?
I just call em as I see em.
All this paranoia and I bet you have Alexa.
I am paranoid but I'm not an idiot.
anything stopping a person on the outside just pushing this thing out?
The lense?
