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.

Bottom. Carpet is really worn on the side facing us

On the top.

On the top left you see something... The holder for the railing...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Can still be the bottom

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Bottom. Wear marks from foot traffic + if that were the top. those mattresses would tip backwards unless someone was holding them in place.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can literally see the rail in the top left. It's at the bottom.

Perhaps it is a weird wall-mounted lamp 👀

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

It's a wall mounted lamp, but the mattress is at the bottom because of the stair wear pattern

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day 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.

If it were from the bottom looking up, that'd be some tall risers. So I think we're looking down.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

So people walk on the face of the stairs now? 😁 Look at the wear of the carpet on the stairs.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The correct answer is fuck whoever took this picture.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Bottom, or else it would have to be in the process of falling due to physics.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

Bottom, you can see the carpet on the steps are worn out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Top, see railing

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The wear on the steps say bottom

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

it's about the wear patterns in the Berber.

that's the bottom of the stairs because we're looking at the treads.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The mattress is a metaphor, it doesn't matter where it is.

The cake is a lie.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Omg you are right!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Unless it is floating, it's at the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

There are no stairs.
