When shooting the content present in a mirror, what the fuck distance should i tell the lens the subject is?
The distance between the camera and the surface of the mirror?
The distance the camera would have to the subject judged by the size of the subject?
The literal sum of me-to-mirror-to subject distance?
Just pondering this is literally shutting down my internal organs, pls help.

It's the distance from the film plane to the subject. For a Hassie, that's the very front of your film back. For most cameras, it's a little circle with a straight line through it.

Exactly.
The distance that matters is the distance the light travels. Light is either emitted or reflected by your subject, part of it in the direction to the mirror, then is reflected by the mirror in your direction.
If you focused on the mirror instead, your subject would be blurry, but the dust particles and smirks on the mirror would be sharp.
