Yeah, I agree with the patriarch. This is but a picture.

How many people are on the trolley? If it's empty, could you pull the lever as it goes over the switch and derail it so it hits no one?

Why are there so many deleted members in this thread?

Are we making sacrifices to the trolley gods again?
Because nobody told me and I forgot to bring anyone.

 

[laccoff_mawning]

I forgot to bring anyone.

That's what all the other deleted members in this thread said.

If the train is full of people, I would shove a metal wedge into the connection and switch it. The metal wedge stops it moving all the way and causes the train to derail killing everyone aboard.

I wouldn't pull the lever and watch the 5 die... Then I'd go over to the last one and move their head to just above the metal tracks and full power stomp a couple of times a until they are dead then I would leave-nya.

I'm a big believer in equality (lol), so the solution is to let the train take out the first five and then to strangle the lone survivor so that no one has a bigger advantage than the other.

Why not move the single one to the track with the others?

Why not move the single one to the track with the others?

Simple, If I'm carrying a person I won't be as fast as the trolley. If anyone could lift the single person, then they could avoid bloodshed entirely, but that's not what the dilemma allows.

has anyone tried to pull the lever just after the first set of wheels passed the switcher?
