And what about now ?
Even smaller cabin on stilts on a normal sized treadmill, or small cabin on stilts on a HUGE MOTHER****ING treadmill.
Where is the first floor?

Ground Floor, First Floor, Second Floor and so on and so forth...
However, try working a job where some buildings have 6 levels, 2 being below ground level so that when you step through the door on ground level you're on what they refer to as the 3's. I still can't work out what level I'm on sometimes...

And where is my Starbucks?
If I split a Starbucks into 2 mugs, is that two half Starbucks or two Starbucks?

The key words here are" above ground" which is a bit of a handful for signs and buttons but if you put that after floor all should become clear. It's what our system of numbering is based on.
If you split them enough and keep topping them up with water you will eventually have homeopathic starbucks!
But if you order 2 starbucks, and the barista only fills each of them up halfway. Is that two starbucks?
Which is a problem because in many cases there can be multiple different floors at different heights that are all ground floor wrt local ground level.
A much more logical system is to label the lowest floor 1 and increment upwards.

In a building, it has floors, the difference between each floor is on the Y Axis. Therefore, in order to increase the count from one to the next, the simple logic would require you gain a floor, which means movement on the Y Axis. The correlation in changes in the number of floor is as a direct result of changes of the Y Axis.
To illustrate this. You go from the 5th floor to the 6th floor, you go up in the direction of the Y Axis.
Stepping through a door into a building last I checked is a change on the X Axis, not Y Axis.
To illustrate this, look at your door in the room you are sitting in right now, on the other side of that door is still the same floor without changes in the Y Axis. If you are sitting on the ground floor, the other side of the door is the ground, again, without any changes in the Y Axis.
Therefore, if it has no change in the Y Axis, and no change in floors.
You are on the ground outside the building and you are still on the ground inside the building. I do not call the pavement the 1st floor, I walk on the ground.
Ground floor = ground.
It cannot get any simpler.
Calling the ground floor also the first floor and if you step inside the building merely because you walk through a door just complicate things pointlessly. I know it is just a labelling at the end of the day but a needless exercise to change something that is so logical to begin with.

I see what you mean though. Blame builders and plan diagrams they are not in 3d

But you start on the first floor (ground floor). You even say so yourself...

Or is it 4?? Another debate for GD!
Does it start from 0 or the 1st page
Don't, I can feel myself getting sucked in...
...It starts from 1, but that really is irrelevant. The ground floor is the ground floor...
...Noooooooooooooo!
