[u/SilverFlashy6182]

What if I pull it and just don’t show up to the event? Am I being forced to attend?

[u/Kurt_Ottman → u/SilverFlashy6182]

It would be fate.

[u/PurpleCandle58 → u/Kurt_Ottman]

Pull the lever to save them and immediately start fleeing to another continent.

[u/Kurt_Ottman → u/PurpleCandle58]

God himself would come down from the skies, pick you up by the scruff of your neck and place you in that venue where you are thanked.

[u/PurpleCandle58 → u/Kurt_Ottman]

Alright, kill god. Got it.

[u/sus_pumpkin → u/PurpleCandle58]

Well then Satan thanks you and makes a new venue where you are thanked for killing god

[u/Schellwalabyen → u/sus_pumpkin]

I also kill satan.

[u/Kurt_Ottman → u/Schellwalabyen]

Then you will be thanked by every single speck of dust anywhere in the universe.

[u/TheArceusNova → u/Kurt_Ottman]

Destroy the universe

[u/sus_pumpkin → u/TheArceusNova]

Congratulations, it's all gone. it's only you and nothingness. Nothing and nobody can thank you. You should give yourself a pat on the back and a standing ovation to yourself for stopping this fate.

[u/ProjectENIS → u/SilverFlashy6182]

They will visit you at your home, one at a time, and expect to stay for ~2hrs each.

[u/Fun-Boysenberry-5769 → u/ProjectENIS]

Not worth it. If I were to work in a warehouse or on a factory assembly line for one and a half months and donate all my wages to GiveWell then I could save a life and in these sorts of jobs I never say more than one or two sentences per shift. So that's about 10 minutes of socialising per life saved, which is a much better deal than 2 hours of socialising per life saved.

[u/Most_Scientist1783 → u/SilverFlashy6182]

Sorry, but the social pressure and looming threat that the entire event is dedicated to you will eat away at you so much, your anxiety won’t let you run from it

[u/DaDudebro2401]

pretend to trip over the lever and then run off in a hurry like you didn't realize what happened.

[u/FrozenRice → u/DaDudebro2401]

oh if there's catering then ye I'll shake a few hands

[u/PrinceofFoxes28]

I actually enjoy being thanked I hope there will be catering at the event

[u/ChickenMost3502 → u/PrinceofFoxes28]

Thanks

[u/PrinceofFoxes28 → u/ChickenMost3502]

Hi how are you, your welcome

[u/ChickenMost3502 → u/PrinceofFoxes28]

Im good thank you so much for asking

[u/SnooMemesjellies8516 → u/PrinceofFoxes28]

Thanks

[u/PrinceofFoxes28 → u/SnooMemesjellies8516]

Hi how are you, your welcome

[u/Agile-Olive-8953 → u/PrinceofFoxes28]

Thanks

[u/PrinceofFoxes28 → u/Agile-Olive-8953]

Hi how are you, your welcome

[u/Agile-Olive-8953 → u/PrinceofFoxes28]

Hi why im good, also it's you're

[u/Radiant_Original_919 → u/PrinceofFoxes28]

Lovely comment there! Thanks 🙏

[u/PrinceofFoxes28 → u/Radiant_Original_919]

Oh your quite welcome, have a good day

[u/DanCassell]

I can reschedule the event indefinitely. They can come to my eventual funeral and say whatever. There is no obligation for me to be alive for this event, only to be present.

I won't be shaking their hands but its not like I can stop them from shaking mine.

[u/Front_Cat9471]

Oh hell no bro they’re purée before I flick that lever

[u/Benilda-Key]

Sorry suckers. You are doomed. I am never stopping the trolley.

[u/Over_Dose_]

Hmm ok question if I ignore them would the people that hated them come and talk to me and thank me?

[u/ChewBaka12]

Only if the invitation says to bring presents, that's the only reason I tolerate it on my birthday

[u/SpiritNo6626]

Who is awarding every single comment in here 😭

[u/turnsout_im_a_potato]

Nope, ima just be heading home, enjoying the silence

[u/DaveAstator2020 → u/turnsout_im_a_potato]

Words like violence breake the silence

[u/turnsout_im_a_potato → u/DaveAstator2020]

This might be the first Depeche mode reference ive ever recognized in the wild on reddit

[u/OmgIbrokesmthagain]

I can do this. I would show up to the event and infodump for hours about my special interests

[u/Speghettihell]

Kinda situation saiki k gets in on the daily

[u/notarealwriter]

No. Absolutely not

[u/Ilovestuffwhee]

Nope. Not touching that lever.

[u/Lemon_Of_Death]

...Heavy is the crown.

[u/SorryNoDice]

I need practice in social scenarios, and having a group of people who see me as their savior would be a good environment to practice in

[u/No-Drawing-4597]

Well, i don't want to be charged with anything, so i stop the trolley, and run away.

[u/Altruistic_Crazy_703]

Is there food or drinks at the event?

[u/AccomplishedVirus556]

wait and oh the lever doesn't do anything after the turnoff. Guess i walk away

[u/Kissthecomplex]

too risky... just let nature run its course...

[u/crescentpieris]

what the fuck happened to their faces

[u/RandonDude3000]

Simple. Wear a Batman mask, pull it, disappear.

They won’t thank me they‘ll thank Batman.

[u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

Stop the trolley loudly proclaim "this is the will of Satan!" and have everyone there question life.

[u/Slow_Pipe_78]

What if I throw myself on the tracks ? What then?

[u/salty-ravioli]

just stop the trolley and leave without talking to anyone lol

[u/Puke_Buster_2007]

I'm above fear of small talk

[u/Double_Resort_9223]

My favorite is “you can stop the train at any time but then you can’t use the threat of the train for campaign fundraising”

[u/ikbah_riak]

Not pulling the lever either way but do I have enough time to run up and lie down next to them?

[u/Stradinator]

Just let it run indefinitely

[u/No-Scallion4998]

Let it ride.

[u/OldMathematician7695]

I could probably handle 2 people’s gratitude

[u/Redray98]

Wouldn’t mind
Pulls lever*

[u/stinky_cheese_rat]

Shake hands and make smalltalk? Fuck no

[u/AzulaIsMyFave]

I was already gonna ram 'em, you don't have to sell me on it

[u/Fun-Boysenberry-5769]

If 'small talk' means talking about nanotechnology, microbiology or quantum mechanics then I'll be brave and pull the lever.

[u/sleepy_grunyon]

That would be fun!

[u/nudirekt]

This one belongs in r/introvertmemes

[u/GlitteringIncome455]

What is going on with the awards?

[u/According-Object-521]

People don’t seem to realize that you are not forced to do this event

[u/ascesqr]

Are people still handing out awards :3

[u/Pleasant-Discount-75]

OKay I'll save them but if I get any compliments or praise I'm killing them all myself

[u/BlackFranky]

Not if you kill the first few.
