Each of those stairs has its own distinct name; here is a list of them.

I wonder what videogame this is a level-generator for.

Does this belong in a Donald Trump thread?

This was when I realized that there's not an infinite scroll that goes the other direction (up).

I like it better in glitch mode.

Also, it's a great way to visualize lots of potential staircases. Or like playing a video game without the main character.

It's not 4/13 yet, but I would still like to take this opportunity to say I warned you about stairs, bro.

Reminds me of the story "Descending," by Thomas M. Disch.

How long do I have to let this scroll before I run into SCP-087-1?

Great, Descending and the SCP one have been referenced. I'll just mention the infinite stairs in The Phantom Tollbooth, and I think we'll have all bases covered.
