Yeah I was wondering how much more often do they have to clean THAT compared to normal carpeting.

@baarda that is effed up. Wonder how drunk people would perceive this pattern.

@sirpushalot @baarda I think the pattern straightens when you're drunk 🙃

Good lord, I feel bad for anyone that had a couple of drinks before retiring to their room. They'd feel like they were on some hallucinogenic drug.

@JonCorbin @baarda my wife has MS and can get dizzy spells. I wonder how good this carpet would be for people with similar issues...
Show threadJonCorbinDec 4, 2022

@atzanteol @baarda Yeah, I love playing with perception to encourage safer behavior (see playing with lines on roads to encourage slowing down), but you always should consider how your creative solution might negatively affect some folks.

Generally you don't want to do things that will make it difficult for people to keep their balance.

@baarda How do they prevent guests from throwing up all over the carpet? 🤔

@baarda that would work on me, since I wouldn’t stay there on the first place. Yikes

@baarda That hotel should be used for a Star Trek convention. We are entering a space anomaly...
Show threadJoana de Castro ArnaudDec 4, 2022
@baarda Oh my. The carpet pattern, by itself, already makes me *very* wary of where I step! With actual height variations, it's a trap more than a warning.
Show threadScotchfairyDec 4, 2022
@baarda I can just see the drunks trying to get back to their rooms. "Jez follow the linessss."

Show threadDale EmeryDec 4, 2022
@baarda Ooof. One time friend of mine, after a brain injury, ask me to walk him to his hotel room as he gripped my arm, because his brain was unable to make sense of the normal, rectangular pattern on the hotel’s hallway carpet.
