Illusion of choice
(eviltoast.org)
Pull the lever as the trolley passes the interchange
Yeah, because why not?
If it's there you pull it, not only because it's fun, but I bet it makes a really satisfying clunk. And if it does I'd keep pulling it, again and again.
Just like clacking the tongs
Hand anyone (who knows how to use tools) a cordless drill
Tell them "do the thing"
Without fail, you will hear a quick "bzz-bzz" as they double-tap the trigger.
It's part of the unwritten rulebook of being human.
I pull the lever to initiate the fabled multi-track drift.
When done at the right time, pulling the lever can still derail the trolley
Pulling the lever almost every day, if you know what I mean
I'd lie on the tracks just to spite you
But which track?
I love Reverse Trolley scenarios.
at the bottom right, obv.
Don't try to trick me!
This is my favorite version. I flip the switch so I know what if feels like, the tactile sensation. Then I go do my own thing and just chill.
Does pulling the lever teach people the difference between "affect" and "effect"? I'm willing to pull it on the off chance that it does.
I pull the lever to make the universe bend to my will, even for a moment
Easy: I follow the main directive and don't interfere
I have the choice whether to offer a correction of “affect” to “effect”.
The chaotic evil pulls the lever when the trolly is at the track interchange just to prove this premise wrong.
I board the trolley
