Yes, but make sure to make eye contact with the driver first. Because, in the end, don't we all want to be remembered?

Apparently that is one of the worst parts of being a train driver. Seeing what's about to happen, but knowing you can't stop in time. Looking into someone's eyes, just before they are reduced to a meat crayon.
How often does it actually happen?
I've heard that is basically guaranteed you will kill someone eventually if you are a lifelong train driver.
Bro is evil
No, I'm just happy there's trolley's again.
Could a walkable neighborhood and transit-oriented development be next?
On a large enough time scale and on the tail end of peak oil this is basically guaranteed.
I mean, if it didn’t just kill me but erased me from existence so I wouldn’t cause a massive amount of trauma to the people around me, then yes absolutely!
If it just killed me then nopeeee
Call of the void, is that you?
Alternatively:
trolley problem: you and Albert Camus are standing by the railway. nobody is in any danger. do you let Albert Camus jump in front of the moving trolley?
It depends, do I have snacks?
Well, this happens a lot in China. For insurance scam.
Russia too. Lots of dash cam vids on YouTube. I got one for myself just in case (US)
ME: no
MY DARK THOUGHTS: yes
ME: wtf‽‽
What trolley, there are only cars
You obviously have not been to San Francisco
These trolley moral dilemma hypothetical scenarios are becoming increasingly complex.
yes
That depends: are we in a country that lacks any kind of decent access to medical care, so that by not jumping we are causing a worse death than by jumping?
Now we are getting to the real questions
No because I would die
Yes because I would die
Yes. Next.
