Interesting. My parents' apartment had carpeted stairs when they bought it (when I was around 3). About a decade later they completely renovated the kitchen and naturally the renovations creeped into other parts of the home. One of the builders showed them that underneath the carpet were beautiful stone steps. They instantly decided to take out the carpet, and the stairs are bare to this day. Here's a photo I took just now (obviously from the bottom looking up):

The handrail argument doesn't make any sense. It would be at the same height regardless of direction.

Back when I thought it was two mattresses, I thought it couldn't be at the top because the right mattress probably wouldn't be held up like that. But since it's one mattress, it can relatively easily be held at that angle with most of its weight resting on the step.

And that's my main reason: it really seems like the mattress is being pushed towards that step, and I believe it's being pushed by gravity. Doesn't make as much sense for it to be pushed in that direction by someone.

I'm not married to it though, it's a really tricky picture.

I think it's bottom too but I don't agree with your reasoning, I've seen steps without that bit.

Edit: actually now I think top, I've been convinced by the daylight argument plus the realization that is a single mattress folded in half (I previously thought it's two mattresses).

Edit: changed my mind again, made a top level comment

Nice. Perhaps better: you have a million dollar smile, unfortunately we don't have change from a million

Without know this we don't have enough context to assess the situation

Fair point. It's still a red flag (in more ways than one!) but I accept it's not definitive.

I'm not seeing it in Voyager, but I'm guessing you made a header:

Main header
===========

Level 2 header

The number of dashes or equality signs doesn't have to match, so I think that's what you did.

How the hell do you even type an em dash?

I'm sure it's possible (I know it's easy on a touch keyboard), but if the person who sent it has never used em dashes in their life, then it's pretty definitive proof. Otherwise, it's just a big clue that you might combine with other factors.

Me too, and it comes with the added benefit of usually having a pleasant "Ding!" instead of the shrieking "BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEEP!" that digital microwaves have. The downside is that you completely lose the precision of a digital timer, which some people (not me) consider a must have in a microwave.
