But what else is going on in the four walls of a Reddit user, you might not want to know in view of a snapshot of his carpet, as tz.de reports.

Tens of thousands of users have liked the photo of a plant that actually appears to be growing out of the carpet.

And the user also writes: "There's a plant growing out of my carpet."

The plant has almost reached the sockets, is probably at least four inches tall: The question many commenters are now asking is one that is obvious: "Can we talk about why you let it grow for so long? ' asks a Reddit user.

Or, "How does a plant get so big before you notice it?"

And, of course, the other Reddit users' replies follow promptly: "To see it sprout into a beautiful flower" or "Out of respect for the struggle that is life." And the user who wrote the post admits : "To be honest, I just let it grow this time."
