Bottom. Carpet is really worn on the side facing us
Xande@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
On the top.
On the top left you see something… The holder for the railing…

Can still be the bottom
rascalnikov@literature.cafe 8 months 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.
simplejack@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Bottom. Wear marks from foot traffic + if that were the top. those mattresses would tip backwards unless someone was holding them in place.
Hikermick@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
You can literally see the rail in the top left. It’s at the bottom.
simplejack@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Or sconce.
petersr@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Perhaps it is a weird wall-mounted lamp 👀
jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
It’s a wall mounted lamp, but the mattress is at the bottom because of the stair wear pattern
lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 months ago
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.
SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That’d be some tall risers.
knight_alva@lemmy.world 8 months ago
At the top-left corner of the image we see a support bracket for the hand rail. The orientation of this bracket only seems to make sense if we are at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the mattress. The shadow cast by the mattress also looks like the light is above and slightly closer to the camera.
If we were at the top looking down, that would imply that the hand rail brackets were sideways instead of being vertical, and that the light was mounted on the wall instead of the ceiling. I have seen stranger things in construction but it would still be strange and unlikely.
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So people walk on the face of the stairs now? 😁 Look at the wear of the carpet on the stairs.
knight_alva@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Old carpet will show wear as people kick / drag against the backs of the steps. This is especially true for cheaper construction where the steps don’t have the typical overhang.
Snowies@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
The correct answer is fuck whoever took this picture.
chunes@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Bottom, or else it would have to be in the process of falling due to physics.
Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Bottom, you can see the carpet on the steps are worn out.
SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Top, see railing
kamen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The carpet has wear on one side, and it doesn’t make sense for the wear to be on the front of each stair, so most likely we’re looking down from the top of the flight of stairs.
WraithGear@lemmy.world 8 months ago
THE wear on the steps say bottom
Legom7@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Steps in a staircase have two measurements. Tread and rise. The proportions of what we can see make more sense as treads rather than rises. Therefore the mattress is at the bottom. Also what we can see of the handrail would make sense in either direction.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 8 months ago
it’s about the wear patterns in the Berber.
that’s the bottom of the stairs because we’re looking at the treads.
Jhuskindle@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I know as someone who has rabbits and cats that the hairfall on the close to camera stairs indicates we are at the top looking down. I know hair patterns.
manigordo@lemy.lol 8 months ago
The mattress is a metaphor, it doesn’t matter where it is.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 months ago
There is no mattress.
kamen@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The cake is a lie.
manigordo@lemy.lol 8 months ago
Omg you are right!
ConstantPain@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Unless it is floating, it’s at the bottom.
raynethackery@lemmy.world 8 months ago
There are no stairs.
archonet@lemy.lol 8 months ago
This is gonna be our white and gold/black and blue dress, huh?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I don’t think so. This mattress is pretty clearly black and blue, unlike the dress.
burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 8 months ago
top or bottom doesnt matter, whats important is that you PIVOT!
Zwrt@lemmy.sdf.org 8 months ago
It already looked like bottom on first glance, The shadows and light seem to verify it.
Vespair@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
How are y’all arguing this? The banister makes it unquestionably obvious that it’s at the top. There’s no debate to be had here unless the banister was intentionally installed wrong just for the purpose of this meme, which would be crazy.
The mattress is at the top, y’all.
moakley@lemmy.world 8 months ago
There’s no banister in the picture. It looks like maybe there’s a support for a banister, but that doesn’t magically make the tops of the steps into the sides of the steps.
Vespair@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
If you are so pedantic so as to not consider the support for the banister as part of the banister, then frankly I have no interest in the necessary effort required to discuss this or any matter further with you.
prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Ok. Then use what you know of gravity and look for things that should be the other way if this were at the bottom.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
IKR. This was the obvious answer 24 hours ago but here we are discussing wear patterns and contrast.
teuniac_@lemmy.world 8 months ago
And do you suppose the banister would be installed if the mattresses were at the bottom?
Vespair@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
If our view was from the top looking down at the bottom then the banister would be rotated 90 degrees towards us.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So why is the carpet worn on the front and center of each stair step?
mbfalzar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Because people drag shit up the stairs and that’s extremely cheap carpet?
Vespair@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
So the people walk on the wall? (Wear of the carpet and lack of visible ledge that stairs should have)
Vespair@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I guess I should address the “wear” on the carpet as well: it doesn’t look worn to me, it looks disturbed. Like before this person tried shoving their mattress up the stairs and got it stuck, they carried a heavy dresser or or something up the stairs and dragged it up each stair, sliding it along the carpet. I suspect this is a person moving into a cheap efficiency apartment, since the one my father moved into last when he was still alive looked extremely similar.
Vespair@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
My stairs don’t have a visible ledge. I don’t know why people are acting like that’s standard. I think only one of the homes I’ve lived in has had a stairwell with ledges.
madjo@feddit.nl 8 months ago
It’s white and gold!
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
Bottom, look at the wear of the carpet, lots of people have walked here.
some_random_nick@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Not just that, but the steps seem unreasonably tall and get shorter in the distance.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
Maybe but we don’t know where this is, stair styles could vary in different regions.
voytrekk@sopuli.xyz 8 months 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.
