The top bed is from the S21 torture camp / prison in Cambodia, where people were tortured before killed at the killing fields. That bed was found with a man tortured to death on it when the Kmer Rouge regime fell. It is left there as a reminder of the horrible cruelties that happened there. It's not supposed to be photographed in the first place. I wouldn't use it in a meme, out of respect.

S21 is now the genocide museum of Cambodia. https://tuolsleng.gov.kh/en/
