Trolley problem
deleted by creator
If you find out, will you let me know?

Sure thing, just send me a raven when it’s my turn 🤷
You can’t. It goes on a regular municipal route, trains every five minutes or less. Also carries freight on that section sometimes.
The problem is that some moron added a meaningless switch right in the middle of a perfectly functional straight track. It’s not a junction, it doesn’t even go anywhere. Who added the switch, and strap them down too!
This configuration does make sense though. Sometimes there are sections where you cannot build two-way rail. Especially for trams/trolleys that’s the case, because of existing narrow roads.
You aren’t really meant to direct the incoming trolley from the left onto the upper rail ever though.
I am personally going to be protecting that lever with my life and dignity, no one lay a single finger on it

This isn’t even a moral dilemma, let alone ethical.
Wdym “but”? As if smth is wrong with any of the ideas
Both huge wins

But the billionaires don’t fie, they’re just able to hide better!
The only time I touch the lever is if the person who’s responsible for putting people on the other track is on the other track (or if the other track is free and clear). Otherwise there’s never blood on my hands. You put me in this situation, with needing to pull the lever to make it happen, and I’m absolutely considering pulling that lever. You put the person who set that situation in motion on the “non pull” side and I still pull it.
