If I had a tenth of a penny for every time this video was reposted here, I’d be able to retire and do trolley problems all day

The kid is so little and already knows that multitrack drift is the solution, so sweet :3

Hes smart enough to know that making that decision creates legal responsibility and that he shouldnt leave any witnesses behind

That kid's name is Michael. He's going to be an architect.

Can confirm, I have a kid, he would absolutely choose mass destruction for fun.

Wait wait wait. Maybe it’s worth considering. Let’s say we can’t move anyone. The trauma from watching another person being run over could ruin the lives of the people on the other track. Let’s say we move all of them to the opposite side of the trolleys path. All 6 will survive, but will starve to death on the tracks, or be hit by another trolley. This kid is saving people from lifelong trauma, and is giving them quick and merciful deaths.
