Finally, people look both ways before crossing the trolley tracks

[Axquirix]

"Babe, come over"
"I can't, I'm stuck in an ethical dilemma"
"But my entire family isn't home"
*"I know"*

[projectDS]

"the problem is finally over. you killed the sick bastard who tied all those people to the tracks in the first place. Rest easy"

[katf]

I feel like people pose the trolley problem like there’s no correct answer but if you say anything other than the expected response then they suddenly get judgemental.

[agentstache]

I mean, the people in the trolly were never the ones in danger…

[anonymousman]

"but what if there is a problem"
-Anxiety

[revolutionaryrabbit]

You find the rogue philosopher whose been tying people to trolly tracks to make terrible moral dilemmas and push him into an oncoming trolley. Problem solved.

[michaelturk]

"Pulling the lever does nothing aside from bringing the trolley closer so you can wave at the people onboard. They will still be on the right track and on time if you decide to divert the trolley. Do you pull the lever?"

[connorp]

Some slight bumps here and there, but nothing to be concerned about.

[revolver]

This is just the trolley as it travels along the Theseus's Trolley Problem tracks, in which pulling the lever diverts the trolley onto a 1000 mile stretch in which every part is replaced (including the wheels, don't ask how) and you are morally absolved of guilt because a different trolley killed that person


Technically you're not because the trolley had one unchanged characteristic despite every changed part: its momentum.

I want this to play at every kind of public transportation

[serotonin.scavenger]

This has a "there is no war in Ba-Sing Se" feel

[isaiahKV]

Teacher: So you can kill either 5 people or 1 person

Me: *There is no problem. They are traveling safely to their destination.*

[theclingyfox]

*Therapist:* "There is no problem you are traveling safely to your destination"
*Smorg:* _Suddenly changes the music to the chapter 6 boss battle theme_

[legendarytat]

“Thank you for traveling with us on Vehicular Manslaughter Trolley Service.”

[mildcheesecake]

"There is no problem. You are traveling safely to your destination."
Me: *laughs in depression*

[dennisshaykevich]

No problem? Bruh, those tracks as so warped I'm suprised the trolley hasn't derailed yet.

[ominousintrusivethoughts]

I gaslighted myself that he said, "There is a trolley it has a problem"
So I kept watching this cause I thought they were using the loop to trick us

[agentstache]

POV: you’ve finally ran over the last supervillain ethicist

[Sandvichman.]

i feel like an extra 13-23 seconds of just the trolley rolling along the countryside with a blank background, maybe with some quiet train track sound effects, would have perfected this

riding in peace
