Look at your eyes in the mirror and rotate your head, look on the veins in your eye and you will see that your eye tries to stay parallel to the ground.
In humans it is just much less obvious due to our round pupils.
And the brain adjusts visual image with other information like our sense of gravity and equilibrium. So if you tilt your head, you don’t lose sense of up and down - unless you’re in zero-g.
Your eye does rotate!

I can’t see my eyes in the mirror, due to the delay caused by the slow speed of light my reflection is blinking whenever I’m not.
Now I’m imagining looking in the mirror and seeing myself with my eyes closed; it’s freaking me out.
thanks for the nightmare fuel
Yup. This is why it’s easier to read a clock that is upright, regardless of the orientation of your head.
