the trolley problem meme, but the track forks 3 ways, and then there's a second set of junctions that could switch from one of any of the 3 tracks to one of the other 2. at the end of the tracks are 3 barriers marked with question marks, and behind them are a goat, a car, and another goat

how to get my attention

a meme with some wrestling commentator guy getting increasingly excited, over the course of 4 panels. They're captioned, respectively "there's some code", "written in c", "with inline asm", "and it doesn't work". In the last panel, his eyes are glowing red.

A meme in the style of the "you wouldn't steal a car" meme, but instead there are four separate sections of text. They read, respectively: You wouldn't enter a hospital. You wouldn't talk to the receptionist. You wouldn't talk to a doctor. You wouldn't comfort your grieving wife.
