  @catsalad when there are more than two tracks, does that show it to beβ¦ a false binary? =D @catsalad same kind of bad trolley behaviour that got you banned from the supermarket π π πΌ no wonder your pic is sideways     @catsalad I've worked in Film/TV for a couple of decades. Hitting the mesmerising/traumatising sweet for 20 seconds is amazing. This is stupefying.  @catsalad Train drifting! How did the Fast and Furious franchise miss this idea? Itβs brilliant. π₯³  @SophiaFree I like to provide enrichment for everyone's little enclosures.  @catsalad I like how that locomotive is so insanely common that someone could kitbash three of these together and not even think anything of it.  @PhDee @StephenTallentyre @catsalad I'm also for "slipping the switch," as shown in the video. But I expect that with the tracks diverging, as shown in the image above, it can't be long before a forced derailment.   @nazokiyoubinbou @StephenTallentyre @catsalad @StephenTallentyre @catsalad I've tried to follow this but somewhere around the last few words my brain goes @StephenTallentyre @catsalad I like this! I believe, though that the solution to the trolley problem doesnβt involve flipping the switch, which is probably locked anyway (or, if it is an old interlocking system, is controlled remotely). The solution is to stand in the middle of the tracks. The trolley driver will slam on the brakes. Just before the trolley would hit you, you jump off the tracks. The trolley is now going slowly enough to stop before running over anybody. @StephenTallentyre So you're saying we should do multi-track drifting to get the largest infinity of kills?  @StephenTallentyre @catsalad @jripley since β contains β€, would multi-track drifting run over more than or the same amount as taking only the bottom track? π€ I don't understand set theory, lol. Is this one of those "Does the set of all sets that do not contain themselves, contain itself?" type questions, orβ¦?  @StephenTallentyre @catsalad I know it's not the point, but - send it down the one with bigger gaps between people so they are run over more slowly, so if anyone in future works out how to stop the infinite hell railway fewer people will have succumbed π  @StephenTallentyre @catsalad If the picture is "as shown", then pulling the lever is correct. On the left hand side, if the trolley travels any finite distance, it will kill infinitely many people. @StephenTallentyre @catsalad Lock the lever in the midway position, causing the tram to derail :P      @catsalad Great! I thought the trolley problem had only two solutions. From now on I'll opt for the third! @catsalad I like Miffy so much more now than when I had to read the books to my son!  @catsalad Probably the best 10 minutes you could listen to about this:  |
@catsalad I like how well it straddles the whole thing.
