We could be looking at the stairs from underneath.

Who the hell puts carpet on their stairs? What year is this? 1973?
moakley@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
There’s nothing wrong with carpeted stairs.
HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Well dear friend, let’s agree to disagree. I wish you a pleasant end of the day!

People who are too cheap to refinish old stairs. Source: I bought a house that had carpet on the stairs, and when we pulled up the carpet we discovered a worn out eyesore that cost thousands to update. In our case the previous owners were a cash strapped family of two young kids with a third on the way, but the white paint and industrial grey carpet screams “landlord special” to me.

Interesting. My parents’ apartment had carpeted stairs when they bought it (when I was around 3). About a decade later they completely renovated the kitchen and naturally the renovations creeped into other parts of the home. One of the builders showed them that underneath the carpet were beautiful stone steps. They instantly decided to take out the carpet, and the stairs are bare to this day. Here’s a photo I took just now (obviously from the bottom looking up):

Better grip where it counts.

Carpet is softer and more enjoyable to walk on than hard floors. I will never understand this weird anti-carpet trend we’ve gotten into in the past decade, except that it’s the same thing as grass lawn emulating the wide expanse of the wealthy.

We are at the top.
Suppose the mattress is at the top. Why would someone fold the mattress into a V shape and not push the point forward?
Also, it makes sense that someone would try to fold it into a V, shove it, laugh that it is stuck and take a picture.

THE wear on the steps say bottom
ConstantPain@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Unless it is floating, it’s at the bottom.
Joeffect@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Someone is holding onto it at the top of the stairs…
This is from the bottom with the mattress sagging into the step a bit due to gravity…
The railing is barely visible at an angle that points to it being from the bottom looking up…

Foam mattress? Broken mattress?
My mattress easily bends like that. Most modern ones do
Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Might be one of these mattresses with a “break” in the middle so you they fold better.

The metal bar on the top left indicates it’s at the top.

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
You can literally see the rail in the top left. It’s at the bottom.
simplejack@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Or sconce.
petersr@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Perhaps it is a weird wall-mounted lamp 👀
jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
It’s a wall mounted lamp, but the mattress is at the bottom because of the stair wear pattern
WereCat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes
fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Plot twist: Stuck in the middle.
voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Bottom. The spacing/size of the stairs is the biggest clue. If we were at the bottom, it would indicate that the stairs are very tall and not very wide. As others have said, the worn carpet is also an indicator, as the carpet on the side of the stairs would not be worn. It would also likely have something sticking out like most stairs, not just flat.
raynethackery@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
There are no stairs.
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Bottom. Angle isn’t right to be the top.

I just assumed that this was near where they joined a photo from the top of a set of stairs with a photo from the bottom of a set of stairs.
Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah.
It’s below that grab bar thing and looks like old shit. I’m guessing a stud is there and the wall isn’t flat so it’s poking out and they joined the moulding there too. Or a shit repair like I’d do.
Also I say the mattress is at the top because lighting and the stair surfaces look like vertical riser height but that’s just grasping.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
but that’s just grasping.
Heh. Banister jokes, classic.

Reading the threads on this post of people convinced the mattress is at the top of the stairs makes me understand why people can't recognize AI generated fake images and fall for propaganda so easily.
It's clearly at the bottom of a stairwell, but the amount of people convinced it's not really bothers me for some reason, enough to feel extremely apathetic of other people on the internet and assures me most people in real life lack sense to put trust in society eventually being healthy again, and I can't elaborate further why because I don't understand why.
J92@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
But then if you find out it is at the top of the stairs, do you then question yourself as thoroughly?

The effects of how this bothers you places you in the group of people you’re bothered by.

My guy, the banister.
TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
Up and down are manmade constructs, so I assign the direction thatthe mattress is as the top of the stairs. Move the mattress to the other end? Well that’s the top now, just how it has to be /j
rascalnikov@literature.cafe 2 weeks ago
I would say it’s at the bottom due to wear marks and some other subtle things but what the fuck do I know about knowing shit.
lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes.
Snowies@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
The correct answer is fuck whoever took this picture.
SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Top, see railing
ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It is an ai generated image containing indicators of both perspectives to drive engagement
NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
I see no reason whatsoever to suspect this
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Look at how it is.
HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Top. assuming the light in the stairwell comes from the ceiling, the shadows under the mattress give the impression we are looking up at the mattress. The handrail is probably a light fixture.
someguy3@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Based on lack of shadow, I say bottom.
Hikermick@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?
chunes@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Bottom, or else it would have to be in the process of falling due to physics.
Zwrt@lemmy.sdf.org 2 weeks ago
It already looked like bottom on first glance, The shadows and light seem to verify it.
burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
top or bottom doesnt matter, whats important is that you PIVOT!
