Trolley Problem: (Your opinion only :D)

mhchen:

|dw:1536176080249:dw| You are in that trolley car on the left (looks like a box). The trolley is unstoppable and is heading straight for 5 people tied on the tracks. You have the OPTION to change the tracks so that the trolley will switch to the track with 1 person on it. Would you switch the tracks?

Elsa213:

With the time you have trying to decide if you should change it or not, you could be untying each person. So you switch it to one person, giving you enough time to save a life and poof. Hero of the day.

SourMunchkin7806:

Yea but it says your in it. Meaning that your unable to get out and do anything....a way to save all of them is by aiming the track alignment in between the two paths causing the tram to derail only killing you as the passenger.

mhchen:

Just assume you have controls in the trolley to switch the track

Elsa213:

Does a trolley have brakes? e.e

SourMunchkin7806:

Yes dont switch it completely, only half way causing the tram to crash.

SourMunchkin7806:

The problem says its unstopable.

Elsa213:

You can make it stoppable if it has brakes, boi. e.e

Kaihalojr:

I wouldn't switch it :I am I a bad person?

SourMunchkin7806:

but if something is unstoppable then making it stoppable is impossible.

Elsa213:

Nothing is impossible if you just believe.

Elsa213:

Ayee o;

mhchen:

@Kaihalojr nah I'm with you on that one xd.

SourMunchkin7806:

False. My uncle believed he could fly and jumped off a cliff. He is deceased.

Kaihalojr:

deceased means flying

Kaihalojr:

learn your dictionary bruh

SourMunchkin7806:

I'm leaving this question.

Elsa213:

His ghosty is probably flying now, Sour.

ThisGirlPretty:

In my opinion I would switch because i would believe that it's better to have that one person dead than 5 people(if this makes any sense)

Elsa213:

Do these people even have lives? They're probably dead already. What if it's all a joke, though? You think you run them over butt nerp.

Ultrilliam:

I would push the lever while yelling at the dude to get off the track, duh

Elsa213:

They're tied up, Ultrilliam. e.e

dude:

Oh this question, I would save the person if they mean a lot to me but I would save the 5 if the one person I’d malicious to me

Ultrilliam:

"You have the OPTION to change the tracks so that the trolley will switch to the track with 1 person on it." Notice it doesn't say that the one person is tied up ;)

Ultrilliam:

You just assumed it did =P

dude:

I mean the original problem says that that single person cannot hear nor see the train until it’s too late 🔫

mhchen:

ugh xD nit-picking my wording. I'll be more careful next time.

Elsa213:

If Ultrilliam were on those tracks, I don't have to think twice. e.e

Ultrilliam:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @dude I mean the original problem says that that single person cannot hear nor see the train until it’s too late 🔫 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) But I said I would shout to him, therefor he also wouldn't be hearing the train, he would be hearing me ;)

dude:

LMAO
