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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago

I'm not the one being pedantic. Whatever that object is, it's not clear that it's a banister.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ok. Then use what you know of gravity and look for things that should be the other way if this were at the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly. I'm using what I know of gravity. The mattress should be resting on top of something. If we're looking down, it is. If we're looking up, it's floating in mid-air, apparently wedged against both walls even though it doesn't look firmly wedged on the right side.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Alternately the left side of it is wedged because of the bannister it’s butted into.

The stairs show a kick pattern and the paint appears broken linearly due to the movement of the carpeting when kicked. (Alternately it could be from top pressure when stepped on, the paint wants to stick to the wall not the step so 50/50)

The mattress itself appears to bulge towards the viewer.

It’s all about perspective, that’s the whole point of the picture.

I see evidence for it being at the top, you see evidence for otherwise and lots of folks show how little they’re able to regulate their emotions through simple friendly discussion ( not directed at you, my dude )

So if we are looking up the stairs then why is the carpet worn on the front and center of each stair step?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Because people drag shit up the stairs and that's extremely cheap carpet?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

So the people walk on the wall? (Wear of the carpet and lack of visible ledge that stairs should have)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

And do you suppose the banister would be installed if the mattresses were at the bottom?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

If our view was from the top looking down at the bottom then the banister would be rotated 90 degrees towards us.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

IKR. This was the obvious answer 24 hours ago but here we are discussing wear patterns and contrast.
