See, if you pull the lever halfway, you have a chance to derail the trolley. No one ever mentions that.

Yes. Because it'll make the clang-clang noise when it goes by me.

Fuck yeah, LETS GOOOOOOOO

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Nah, that would take, like, effort, man.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Well... if you put it that way, pulling the lever at least gives me something to do in the meantime.

Does excessive pulling make one blind?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Depends on what you mean by "blind"?

It's like that light switch on my wall that does nothing. But I flip it every time I walk past.

Except a year after I moved in, I got a letter from some woman in Germany that said "knock it off."

Button X - Turns on Mrs. Schultz's porch light in Germany. So quit pressing it!

Reference, or coincidence?

Steven Wright. But I probably messed up the quote.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Looks like he said she was in Madagascar originally. So, coincidence!

Didn't specifically mention a woman in Germany, though.

Trick question, I throw myself in front of the trolley

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Turn it into a story about the time you got the opportunity to flip a trolley track switch.

I get to flip a switch and have the trolley take the tiny detour I've caused it. Fuck being a tiny, insignificant blip in the endless context of time. I got to pull a god damn lever and make a trolley follows a tiny bump that I've caused. I get to ride that joy!

Oops, went a little off the rails about it, though…

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

No, I kidnap some people and tie them to the railroad tracks

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

If you pull the lever the train takes slightly longer, annoying the people inside.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I mean I would have fun sending it on a little detour, but I worry that if the switch is no properly set at the point where the rails merge back into 1, the trolley might derail. The drawing of that point looks like a mess, too.

I was waiting for someone to post this version.

Here's a real-life version: https://youtu.be/bO-vVzDRHYQ

Damn, i believe you. How long did you wait, 20 years?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It rolls, kills all 6 tied up people, and everyone onboard.

JACK KNIFE THAT TROLLEY!!!

sorry for yelling

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Did you just yell 'America!' when you pulled the lever?"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

".....no...." slowly pushes cheese burger and shotgun under the rug

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Pull lever to wave to trolley

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Very succinct. Though a little outdated in our post-qanon world.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Flip it back and forth as fast as you can and see if you can get it to jack knife

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Cause a trolley problem
