Solution for the Trolley Problem

Submitted ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨skeezix@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

As soon as the trolley’s forward wheels pass the switch lever you throw the switch so that the rear wheels go on the other track. Since the wheel trucks can’t swivel 90 degrees, the trolley derails gracefully, saving all lives.

  It derails killing the dozen or so passengers on the trolley instead.

  One of the oldest memes I know, and the first thought I had after reading OP’s post. A great way to maximize the horror and ruin OP’s plan.

This reminds me of my mate in primary school answering the fox, chicken, and grain river puzzle by saying “they should all cross on jet skis.”
