I think the premise falls apart on the assumption that I consider pulling the lever as best case.

Yell to the other lever dude that I'm not pulling the lever but fuck those beige dudes, hope they can't tell i'm lying, run and lay down with the beige dudes, and if I'm lucky they pull their lever too and we get maximum carnage. If lever dude suspects I'm lying and insane, and thus doesn't pull their lever, at least I won't have to answer my loved ones' questions.

The last line of these is always what the poster wants to happen

everything else is skewed rationale to make you think it is a funny

it is, in reality, anti-intellectual propaganda

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I think most of these have just become self-satire and clever attempts to come up with increasingly convoluted ethical choices.

It's not anti-intellectualism, it's anti-trolly-problem specifically.

Jokes on you, No loved ones, so who cares if you pull the lever or not, go have a frothy instead.

[-] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

There is no such thing as an "amount of people". It's "number of people". And the question given is basic game theory, just worded to be nasty.

[-] m_f@midwest.social 7 points 4 months ago

I think it's "amount" after the trolley is done squishing them into goo

[-] DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

Yell "Jump!"

Please learn how to draw basic sketches of railway switches. It's not that hard.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

Give the loved ones guns

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

As many frags as possible

[-] ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 2 points 4 months ago

Depends on the loved one, tbh 🤷🏼‍♂️

[-] xta@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)
