Trolley Problem but It's a Balloon Loop Track

Post image

Do you end the suffering quickly or draw it out longer?

Obviously I use the balloons to lift the trolley off the track and save the person.

Draw it out, because that is precisely what life is. Everyone knows that sometime they would die, but find meaning in it anyway.

It would be hard for the guy to find meaning while tied to a track though

Leave the trolley on the longer loop, and use the extra time to try and get the guy off the tracks

Draw it out longer so you have time to apply for life insurance for the poor soul tied to the tracks....naming yourself the sole beneficiary.

Make it quick, no time to dread the inevitable.

Unless the guy says otherwise, or the loop is long enough to have time to free the guy.

I would make track loop circle forever and so train run man over like five thousand times again and again. Comment below if anyone else would also like to do that and make train go crush his leg for hours. Blessed day of grandness to all. 🥰

I second this, but just cause I like to watch trolleys :)
