There’s a lady who’s sure.
I have nightmares about this exact scenario.
Everyone worrying about getting up. I’d be more concerned about the way down on these.
When does a stairs become a ladder?
“Stairs” that ever Spiderman would reconsider…
Steep stairs are one thing, but putting carpet on them is just asking to slip.
Yeah, shoulda done Teflon.
And install some sprinklers.
At what point does a set of stairs become a wall? How thin can steps be before they are no longer considered steps?
The steps don’t have to be thin, you could make them jut out. But still, at some point it’s effectively a ladder. That’s probably the point where it’s easier to start using your hands too.
I don’t know but I think it’s fair to say if it becomes necessary to ask those questions then you went too far.
Missed opportunity to say “you went a step too far” ;)
I would assume when you can no longer stand on them.
I love this comic. Typical JoJo scenario
I know it’s stupid, but it’s posts like this that make me really wish that the fediverse had gold badges to award
Wtf, why didn’t you tell me you were coming over?
(Thankfully not nearly as steep)
My old house had some steep stairs that felt like this.
My wife broke her ankle on them, fun story… Nope. That sucked.
“Time for bed! Who’s gonna belay me?”
I’ll sleep at base camp tonight and try for the summit in the morning.
Lol if you can afford to buy a house with an upstairs, you can afford an autobelay
Dutch stairs. Yes, they’re like that.
Yep can confirm this is standard issue in slightly older Dutch houses.
When my siblings and I were kids, we would ride laundry baskets down the stairs.
These stairs would be fucking rad to do that with.
Once, anyway.
Riding the laundry basket off the roof would be more comparable
Looks like an advanced Doom II map.
Just missing a teleport at the top to simulate a second floor, or a silent téléporter if you’re really fancy.
I don’t think Doom teleported the player to simulate a second floor. I think it was closer to asset swapping what got drawn on screen in the same location.
If you turn the Minimap on you can see where you are in the level. The Minimap was almost a depiction of how the game was really programmed, and the 3D POV was a programming trick to display it for the customer.
Where I come from we call these, “up only” stairs. Kind of like how Perl is a write-only language.
I guarantee I can get down them. Very quickly.
House of Leaves vibes
