stop the train and run for your life, don't let them get to you

[-] calabast@lemm.ee 31 points 1 month ago

Remember, if they bite you, you only have a minute to kill yourself.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

I was bitten this morning and I feel fi----nally half way through the week am I right? Any plans this weekend?

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 62 points 1 month ago

Would you rather murder a stranger, or be forced to interact with them for 5 seconds?

[-] kofe@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers... Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.

Wait, you're a stranger! Look ma I did it!

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I rather tie my self up and pick a spot than get stuck interacting with a stranger for 5 seconds.

[-] Lux 51 points 1 month ago

So how long have you been in the trolley stopping business?

[-] mo_lave@reddthat.com 49 points 1 month ago
[-] Poots@mander.xyz 15 points 1 month ago

Haha what is this gif from?

[-] mo_lave@reddthat.com 21 points 1 month ago
[-] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

This scene made me laugh so hard even though I've already seen the gif and laughed at that.

[-] cypherix93@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

Get in front of the train so you don't have to make a decision

[-] Catoblepas 33 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, that is also a decision.

[-] SsxChaos@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

The only valid option.

I second this..

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

I could lay down on the tracks, right?

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Yes, but then you'd be joining a group activity.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

As someone who worked in a gas station for 24 years..

sigh

I’d do it. I’d suck it up. I’d make some damn good friends along the way and then I’d never maintain those friendships and feel guilty for the rest of rest of my life. “Just call him, dipshit. He’s going through a divorce! Just go fishing! Pleaaassse! Ok, here goes. Tomorrow.”

Always tomorrow.

Did you know that a single molecule of water has more hydrogen atoms than there are stars

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

turn the lever and run like hell

That ... could work.

[-] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

This one seems especially unsolvable...

[-] Smorty 16 points 1 month ago

This is so scary, perfect timing for spooky season. You gotta keep up that outer image...

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 month ago

But maybe you wont stop it in time for some of them, so then the families of those few in the front that died will forever hate you for not stopping it slightly sooner.

I could do a few small talks before I'm socially exhausted, so maybe if i pull the lever about halfway through?

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Maybe just run over their mouth parts

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

See, this is where you need a super hero persona; all masked super heroes are confirmed socially awkward!

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago

Person posts shitpost.

Commenters getting triggered.

Nice job OP!🍿

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

has it become popular to be a complete social inept? i've never seen so many kids that can't handle basic human interaction as i have in the last 5 years. WTF?

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

Why are you seeing so many kids for the last 5 years? Do you have a representative sample size?

I feel like getting a feel for how people in society actually act from memes is a dangerous game. I think the point of them is to push passed hyperbole so that people laugh at it, and then share it with friends.

Also, inept isn't a noun.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 month ago

OP screaming at the top of their lungs: "Why are you kids so socially inept?!"

(Kids awkwardly backing away from this crazy person)

[-] roscoe@startrek.website 5 points 1 month ago

If we can verb nouns, we can noun adjectives!

The terminally online are 90% of Lemmy's content machine.

I get curated stuff for free so I'm happy those people exist but yeah don't take their worldview as the norm.

No, it's just over sampling on the Internet.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I think that people are more willing to talk about it now, because mental illness is less stigmatized than it used to be.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

If I pull the lever hard enough, will the trolley reverse? If so - can I jump on it to avoid the conversation?

[-] Mercuri@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The fact that it's Bocchi is amazing

[-] Ludrol@szmer.info 7 points 1 month ago

Don't worry guys Nijika aka Dorito will come and save the day

[-] 5dh@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

That's not an option. Sorry guys!

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

not worth it

[-] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I utterly loathe people who are like this.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

What a strange thing to hate. It makes you angry when people don't want to do small talk?

Imma ride on top of the trolley like its a skateboard

[-] pumpkinseedoil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

You can stop it any time you like

But you can never leave

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Run on the track while holding the lever

The train will be stopped, but the person who pulled the lever wouldnt be alive to be thanked
