While I'm not 100% certain it's not just confusing perspective, it does appear that the slope rise is shorter than the run, suggesting that this is from the top of the stairs.

does the trim look weird to anyone else

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

Thought something was weird here. The contrast and colour is making it difficult. If you turn up shadows it changes the entire feeling, including where the obvious light source is. I wouldn't expect the dark side of the mattress unless there was a bright light directly above it.

Also the banister/handrail arm wouldn't be horizontal. Most importantly, congrats, you got me invested.

The biggest factor IMO is something no one mentioned yet: we can only see one face of each step (either the top or the wall). If a photo is taken from the bottom, we would almost always be able to see the tops of the first few steps, which isn't visible here. If a photo is taken from the top, the walls would pretty much never be visible (if they were, you could also see the photographer's feet).

Therefore, this photo is only consistent with a photo taken from the top.

It is possible that this is an extremely long flight of stairs or that the photo was taken from a deliberately deceptive angle, but if that's the case I have to say it was expertly done, because I am CERTAIN that we are looking from the top and the mattress is at the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Exactly right. The steps sit on the risers. If you can't see both it's from the top.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Nah, the hanger for the banister is very common, it protudes from the wall and turns up into the bottom of the handrail, therfore we are looking from the bottom up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It's going at an angle, not up. It's 90° from the handrail itself, which is sloped to match the incline of the stairs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We could be looking at the stairs from underneath.

awh shit, i clipped through the geometry again

I’m a stairs half full kinda person

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Based on lack of shadow, bottom.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bottom, we can see dust and debris accumulated on the "run" part of the steps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

And you don't see the nosing of the steps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Middle, obviously

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Trick question. It is actually stuck halfway along the entire staircase; the stairs go further on behind the mattress. 😤

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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.

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

Bottom.

  1. The risers on the stairs are not visible.

  2. The wear on the carpet goes right to the edge. That's consistent with people stepping on it, not kicking it on the way up.

  3. If it's at the top, the mattress doesn't appear to have any of its weight resting on a step. It could be so wedged in that it's being held in place, and that it was wedged that way by someone awkwardly pushing at the ends of it in a way that wouldn't seem to give them enough leverage to do that. But the obvious explanation is more likely, that it's at the bottom of the stairs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

If it was at the top those would be some big steps you'd have to lift your leg up over
