The one thing I never understood about these tests....who is running around tying people to tracks? Jigsaw? The Joker?

Like, I'm sorry, doggo, but once you've already stated that you are basing your judgement on the available evidence, one random dog is not worth the life of five random humans.

No matter how cute and cuddly and squishable and lovable and wonderful they are.

If you want to be mad at somebody, be mad at the person who orchestrated this test.

Well, John, just so you know, before you kill me, I was forced to make a choice, so get the people who got me too

Trolley problem fun fact: The 1986 Chernobyl disaster saw a real-life version. The Soviets used rain seeding to create rain, washing radioactive particles over rural Belarus to save the larger population of Moscow, intentionally harming a smaller group to prevent a wider catastrophe.

Well... The Soviets were proficient in killing non-Russian populations to protect the Russian one from stuff. Even when the stuff didn't actually exist.
