Took me a long time to understand this was stairs!
This looks like a step in the wrong direction.
Definitely not a step up. I don’t think…
This is the art level of fuckery, making it this bad was definitely harder than making it okay
It’s like camouflage, but for stairs.
Specifically, dazzle camouflage.
TIL
Yeah? Well this is razzle dazzle camo I think we all know who’ll be seen last.
Is this that non-Euclidean geometry that lovecraft was banging on about?
Henry Ford’s right hand man had uneven steps in his home as a defense mechanism. he fell down them and died while drunk
Sounds like an urban legend. Who do you mean anyway? James Couzens? Harry Bennett? Charles Sorensen? His son Edsel? They all died of natural causes.
every time the story comes back up it takes me ages to figure out who I was talking about again. I can never remember the name, but he was featured in an episode of last podcast on the left
You are talking about Henry Bennett. This is a myth though. While he did have stairs like that, he died in a care home after years of declining health. His actual cause of death wasn’t announced, but it was likely because he had been in rapid decline for years and just before going into the care home, had a stroke.
It could be…
Most areas in the US have that as a building code violation for the safety issue of it. Usually, there’s a “first” when any regulation regarding inherent safety is created.
I think they do that in castles steps as well. To slow down invading.
I think they did that in castles, because it’s generally pretty hard to build castles. If the enemy is inside the walls you are practically done anyway.
I enjoy the idea that some shitass mason hated whatever king hired him, built all the stairs as quickly and poorly as possible, and then to save his ass later had to be all “oh hmm yes the stairs? That’s a feature actually” and somehow it winds up catching on
Nice
Skill issue
There’s a full 2 stair drop at the bottom on the right side, that’s downright malicious.
Damn, I didn’t even see that until you pointed it out. I would have died.
At least tell me I got hit with “silence brand” so I can post a new meme 😭
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh cool. New nightmare setting… thanks.
Lawsuit incoming
carpet doesn’t kill people, interior designers kill people
Most frequently used handrail in town.
Just had a thought, make them more dangerous add cat’s.
Should go full YOLO and put carpet like that on witches stairs
