Switch the points when they are in between the bogies...
Multitrack drifting!
Pull the lever then do an arm pump so the trolley honks its horn
A horn? On a trolley??? Would it not have a whistle?
Just make the noise please
DING DING!!!
........it's actually a bell.
A whistle? On a trolley??? Would it not have bells?
Whatever way keeps them farthest from me, that's the way I pull/push the lever
I'm pulling the lever but not to wave at those fatcat bastards but to make them late! Hah!
The good ending
Why don't people think of derailing the trolley by switching tracks at the wrong moment in The Trolley Problem?
I'm here for the multitrack drifting, killing everyone on both tracks and everyone on the train when it derails.
What do you mean that's the worst possible outcome?
No no no.....the train is on its way to pickup and transport nuclear war heads.
If you derail the train, we can't blow up tens of thoussnds of innocent people in Nagasaki!
Actually, the tracks and the country with da bomba might go boom.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that!
By saying "at the wrong moment" I was referring to the precise period of time at which pulling the lever could force the trolley to "magically" just derail.
Funny: do note that The Trolley Problem usually doesn't inform us of the presence of passengers in the trolley. If we can make up things on the tracks for fun, a... ghost trolley or self-driving (KEK) trolley with no mortals in it, is another fun-one to imagine!
Really makes it a trolly problem, for you all of a sudden, huh?
Introverts start nail biting....
however, doing so will increase the length of the trolly, thereby its traveltime, thereby making a chaos of the schedule and cause a collision which will kill everyone onboard
plot twist: The abrupt curves of the track derail the trolley, killing everyone onboard
Question is it an open air trolley or are all of the windows sealed shut
