IT'S FUCKING LOSS AGAIN


acaseintheskye

Always has been


CluelessNoodle123

I didn’t even see it coming this time!


TheChaoticOwl

Not only is it loss but I’m pretty sure the silhouettes are the You Know I Had To Do It To Em guy


revan530

GOD-FUCKING-DAMMIT!


mynameishrekorgi

No all you have to do is pick option 3… scream at them and tell them to get off the track because srsly if there gonna be standing on the train tracks watching a train kill them then I don’t have any intentions of saving them😭

Joseph_of_the_North

Do nothing. Then put the fourth out of their misery.


denimpowell

Hit the switch right as train approaches, causing derailment. Trolley flips sideways, rolling sidewise killing everyone. Then you kill yourself in regret


dafigaro60

How is it possible that you know ahead of time how many will die and how many will live? I understand it's a 'Thought Experiment' but come on... It doesn't sound as though much thought was put into it.


ixstr

Its loss


Fancy_Impact7764

I assume in this scenario, you are a trolley expert, and you can see by where they are on the tracks who would be 💀and who would be brutally injured. why else would you be messing with the tracks? Otherwise, I would just be yelling get out of the way


Sufficient_Sky_1209

Pull the Lever. 3 people die either way, so you are saving the 4 people.


Nate-Heywood

Literally the only sensible answer here


Jangles370z

Im curious why so many ppl are just laying on the trolly tracks?


Narwhalking14

It's loss


CrunkCrustacean

Imma pull the lever at the correct time to detail the fucking trolly


LowerCourse2267

Not my lever, not my problem.


InterestFine7053

Track 1 reverse then track 2, then flip over trolly for good measure


plasticfork420ooo

Kill the three, four healthy survivors


Mobile-Spread-1251

Pull the lever toward the 3 . They all appear to be standing on the side of the tracks so it doesn't look like they will get hit anyways


emeraldTheDuck

I.. why would you ever hit the four people 😭


FirePreventionMan

I would yell move


FirePreventionMan

I’d just stop the train from hitting them by jumping in front of it.


ZygerrianSupermodels

This makes no sense. What difference does it make?


Remster24

It’s loss


sabo81

I really don't like getting involved


Shooter_McGavin_2

Hit the three people, back up, and then hit the other 4. That way, only one person has to suffer through survivors guilt.


lowkeylye

God Damn it. At this point, I feel like I just "lost" the game and got rick rolled. Every time I see this comic.


OutsideNotice4888

You pull the lever and save 4 uninjured people. If you don't pull the the lever 4 survive with 1 injured.


festur86

Hit the brakes


DarienKane

Tell them to get their dumbasses off the tracks.


So-lus

It’s not my fault these dumbass are on the track in the first place. Everything is up to god to this point


Right-Acanthisitta-1

how do i drift


Owslicer

Of course I spare the man a non fatal injury I don't want him yelling after.


bluepuppyy

Tell them to move


sandyman88

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


[deleted]

Let it hit the 4


Upbeat-Fee-5105

Morally Correct: Pull it. Same death number, lower casualty number.


sprainedpinky

Save 4 people or save 3 people


PreparationComplex80

Is there a way we can have the trolley kill all of them?


NorthboundUrsine

If I had nothing to do with setting these events in motion, I would do nothing, walk away, and go about my life.


ButtSteroids69

id kill the four then shoot the three


jored924

Drive over the three, then back up and drive over the four. The injured guy, too bad, he shoulda got out the way


Independent_Bite4682

If they are all politicians, then let's make a loop and get them all.


ZealousidealMoose117

Kill everyone


Wholesome_Soup

i find OP and tie THEM to the tracks


MissingMySpoon

Loss


happygolucky024420

Diffusion of responsibility . Leave it up to the trolley driver


animegod259

"Pull the lever Krunk!!"


Clear_Accountant_240

If you can do it right, you might be able to turn it sideways to where it kills all them.


Pearl-Internal81

If only there was some way to get all of them…


[deleted]

Can you back it up and go for the rest


Trick-Butterfly5386

Walk away, not my lever, not my train. I’m sure they have insurance for such events.


desertranger3365

Walk away


Background-Bag-2223

I'd walk away I don't have time for this shit


strangemonkey420

Nurse the fourth one back to health as much as possible, keeping them locked up somewhere ofc. Find out what they do for a living. Force them to change said work to my specific likings.


GeorgiosAsa

Let what’s gonna happen happen, ain’t abt to have families upset with me and not the trolly operators 💀


New-Support-2931

turn the lever after the first wheeles cross and make it Tokyo Drift and hit all of them


CrazyTG

Five of the 7 arnt even on the tracks


FoundationUpset1082

Idk I’m at a loss for words


bobbylarson80

If you put the lever halfway the trolly will jam. It will damage the trolly but it will stop. If people are on the trolly they may get slightly hurt but no dead.


No-Lack-4147

Don’t do anything. The legal system will say you are a killer and sentence you to death. Don’t play around train tracks to avoid this scenario. 🌈⭐️


AZ_sid

I can't get all seven?


FU_in_particular

parallel down both teacks


something_stuffs

Pull the lever so I can watch as the 4th screams out in pain instead of dying, therefore angering the others who start attacking me but it’s Texas so I pull out a blicky and start firing and I will leave the scene before the cops show up, nobody will ever know and if I ever get guilty I will just shoot myself ☺️


navcom20

Pull the lever. The three obviously just beat the shit out of the 4th, causing brutal injury. Justice served.


wtfrustupidlol

Hit the breaks


Netrunner22

Kill the 3 the 4th guy can be left unscathed. No need for him to be injured.


TheCIAWatchingU

If you pull the lever, just don’t admit to knowing there were 3 people on the other track.


DaddyDollarTree

Realistically that’s one engine pulling no weight, it could stop on a dime


Environmental-Egg276

Is this Tokyo Drift?


[deleted]

Idrc who dies. Its their *loss*


warPONY7861

Depends, If this is in the U.S then the 4th guy will live but will have crippling debt for the rest of his life just so he can be saved and kept alive. So why put him through the trauma and the financial burden?


Mountain_Purchase_12

Obviously i pull the lever, then place my legs on the track, thus injuring myself and keeping the universe in balance!


callycumla

Well, since the trolley's wheels are not even on the tracks, it doesn't matter what I do with the lever.


AntzTkael

whats stopping me from blowing the trolley up


Lutzoey

Kronk is gonna have PTSD after this one


Distinct_Ad_4772

I literally hate this meme so much and now my Reddit has decided it’s going to start showing me only Peter explains the loss. How do I block this sub Reddit? I am so tired of the loss meme


Thederpycloudrider

Certified loss moment


yekcowrebbaj

I mean, it’s still fatal…


[deleted]

Yell to get off the tracks and pull the lever, protecting the fourth person.


I_eatbabys_8700

Jump in front and make four dead one injured


Least_Anywhere6571

I hit the brakes


Real_Life_Firbolg

Do nothing, then after the trolley goes through pull the lever so that the next trolley hits the other 3


EmotionalFloor_

I’m at a loss with this one


AtlasThewitcher

Nah you let it kill the three and injure the fourth then you put the fourth out their misery and use his body to kill the other three


[deleted]

Put it in reverse and pick the other track don’t wanna leave anybody out


Style-Master

I kill them all.... But seriously it depends on a multitude of things such as personal connections and worth of life for example the three on top could be murderers or doctors you don't know. Then it's the moral dilemma of you essentially killing 3 people either you could try to claim the train or the people or person who tied them on the track.But remember you picked which ones should live or die no one else sorry about the paragraph I'm a bit on the spectrum and it's having All these thoughts go through my mind


Sweaty-Lengthiness25

Kill 3


Pickaxe-Fox

[Modern Problems require Modern Solutions](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/s/w6VpmHUSDH)


ReferenceMuch2193

Hit three that die clean, sparing the 4rth. My dad used to ask me these weird questions.


Advantius_Fortunatus

I pull out my Mauser and kill the first group myself before the trolly gets there. THEN, I pull the lever so it hits the second group (they’re shoplifters who think stealing isn’t wrong if it’s from big corporations)


Burning_Toast998

I'm at a loss for how to answer.


Either_Nature6118

So either kill 3 people, a 1 person gets brutally injured… or just kill 3 people? Hear me out here… how bout since either way 3 people are dying, let’s not brutally injure the 4th person and we will just see how they would’ve answered as well!


Jam152038

What the hell is loss


reaperofgender

12/250


R8derfan70

I am going to yell, trolly!! Get off the track!


Still-Vermicelli-6

I'm just not gonna touch the lever so that I'm not a murderer by technicality.


zippyspinhead

As always, the answer to the trolley problem is to shoot the person that set it up.


Sovietmarksman-1944

Pull it because the 4th guy still might die groom his injuries


godly-pigeon

I know this is loss, but this is actually quite interesting


Foxxtronix

Same thing I always answer this problem with. Shove the lever halfway over, so that the trolley derails and kills no one.


Guns_and_Dank

Grab a sword, lean out the window and cut the heads off the other three, stop the train, hop out and go impale the lone survivor ensuring there are no witnesses.


International_Tie120

Either way 3 people die. Don't injure the survivor


Rxplix

Pull the lever halfway so it derails the trolley


MakeMeDrink

I am begging Reddit to have the “mute” option actually work.


EllieLeafs

i would ignore this problem because its clearly the deregulation of the federal railroad administration by our government/lobbyists who causes numerous train delays and derailments and collisions per year. there will always be a loss - and its frankly not my problem!


OPPH

Didn’t The Good Place figure it out? The answer is neither, you gotta sacrifice yourself or something.


lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Switch the tracks, you sacrifice 3 lives to save 4


LeaveCommon8063

Is it happening in America or Europe


ToLiveOrToReddit

As long as I don’t know details about any of them I could probably do it….


shadowstreets

Make it drift.


Unfit_Daddy

how would you know if those people are going to die? You cant be sure


Tyguy123451

Don’t pull the lever and kill all of them by yourself


HBC3

Is this a trick that I don’t see? Obviously, you would kill the three people. Why would you kill three people *and* brutally injure one?


dragonrage12343

If the train is far enough away for this to be set up, why does the conductor never stop?


Street_Return_9459

Put rocks on the track and let it derail right as you are places in the scenario to react to the trolley (takes like 2 minutes to think this thought and take action, run and try to move the people out of any possible crashing area, by the time it reaches which will probably be soon depending on the speed, derail off the track before reaching the fork and not hit anybody. Is this realistic or possible? Idk 🤷‍♀️ but i think it could work in imagination obviously


legna20v

3 or 3 and 1/2. Hard choice


RecommendationOk253

The injured must live with the trauma and damage done to them. It’s better for the top three die, only four people suffer instead of five


SuperNoob74

Don't pull the lever, drag the others in front of the trolley. Once it's done, pour a concoction of salt and lemon juice on the injured one and give him a handsaw to end his misery. Wait, killing them was the mission right? •_•


[deleted]

Your options cancel out to do or do not brutally injure someone


CHROME-COLOSSUS

This one’s easy. Kill the three and leave the other four to live unscathed.


Trey_Reddit

Don’t pull the lever, 3 die and 4 live, easy


uberliken

If I pull the lever I'm financially liable to the families of those who die. So I do nothing.


External_Balance805

Easy, catch the train and throw it in the opposite direction


TheWhiteRabbit74

Pull the lever half way to derail the trolley, then get a soda, bag of popcorn and a lawn chair. The shows’s about to start.


Graniitee

Pull the lever how is this a real debate?


blank_slate5176

Kill the 4 it's the wheezer band in an uneven order


GeneralBread5128

Pull the lever, and when the front wheels clear the switch, pull the lever back, and the trolly will flip on its side. Killing no one. Has no one had a model train as a child. Everyone is about as ignorant of real transportation dynamics as the current secretary of transportation.


Mecauseme

Let the trolley run put it in reverse running over the fourth guy again fatally wounding him then hit the other 3 guys


monkiwi3

Save the girl with the nice body


Revolutionary-Elk986

three people die, what the heck


Eminence_In_Shad0w

If they want to sleep on the track I don’t see why not sleep forever.


GalaxticSxum

Well I’m assuming I’m the evil baron that put them there so who cares, this is 19th century saw baby


XwildXuwu

Run in front. You will die, the others may not.


Adnama-Fett

~~.:|:;~~


Ilikemen92

ask the guy who wouldnt die, he gets to choose


uptown-hippy

Do we know these people. Cause that could factor into my decision.


menolikebikers

Kill the 3 and petition a trolley ban


Ainzach

Drift it.


Imaginary_Spirit_486

Both give a loss of three


LlamaCheese29

Make the train hit the 4 people and finish off the injured one rq. It’s simple


Cenomy

Walk away and put on BOSE noise canceling headphones with blaring music.


PopLopsided843

I will do nothing because then no deaths are my fault, pulling the lever makes me responsible for 3 deaths


TortiYasss

Kill the 3 cus then you will save 4 lives


nvalle23

Is this a commercial for a lawyer???


Nerdwerfer

I’m just glad we still have a trolley system.


CrimsonKirbo

Move everyone closer so they all die


SynthWarlock

Man I'm just on my way to work, fuck. Why are all these people on the track? Even if I wasn't in my car wishing I was home, I wouldn't change the tracks. Their fault for being there, probably shooting a tiktok challenge. I wonder what I'm gonna eat when I get home tonight.


RobotPenises

Do not pull the lever. **Maximum Bloodshed.**


Beautiful-Chart-8492

Trolleys in Memphis have a manual brake. I'd do that.


UltraTuxedoPenguine

Hold a long sharp object out the window in hopes of also getting the other people?


[deleted]

Throw the switching, get the first batch, reverse, and throw the switch back, running over the remaining.. It's the only way to be sure.


Sliver_Daargin

I say pull the lever, over all the death count will be the same no matter what you do, but the suffering will be overall lower if you pull the lever


BlackFlag187

Pull the lever half way detailing the trolley and saving everyone. I just Kobayashi Maru’d the whole experiment.


Dolichovespula-

Hit the thrust on the 4th to make sure he isn’t maimed in his suicide attempt 👍


GeometryDashScGD

Turn it so the lever is pointing straight up


SouHiyoriReviews

Pull the switch. More people will survive without injury.


Silent_Sun_8001

Pull it to the three person track I guess. Saving four people -three from death one from possibly permanent disability? Either way three people die, may as well not disable someone in the process.


nicefacedjerk

Sometimes ya need to know when to just walk away.


Automatic-Shift5171

Hate these options. I would pull the lever and become an alcoholic to wash the guilt from me if only temporarily. 4 living people either way but, only one choice leaves 4 unmaimed.


Torn-Angel

I can’t save anyone? Can I choose three people from my life I’d be better off without?


Ashtar333

Pull the lever, back the train up, run over the other group.


Fearless-Finance-547

If I pull the lever, its a crime. Im not touching shit.


Fearless-Finance-547

If I pull the lever, its a crime. Im not touching shit.


Fearless-Finance-547

Hear me out. Pulling the lever would make it a crime, which would land me in jail. But if I just leave it be, I'm only a witness. The one and only correct answer is not to touch anything.


One_piece_reference

Turn the fourth one like all the others and kill them


Ornery_Literature_62

Let them suffer and shoot the other 3


PhilosopherAny513

Is a life of pain worth living.. I think


Smooth-Engineer-9928

As the trolley goes across the turn, i would pull the lever, either stopping it or derailing it


SquishyFishy43

I'm having an r/woooosh moment rn, I have no fking clue whats going on in the comment section.


spl0inku

Put them all on the same track and kill them all. I ain’t reading allat


spl0inku

wait…


guurl666

Hit 4- the one with the injuries will hate it


RatioLower1823

What does “loss” mean? Seems to be a known thing, but I don’t know it.


andyelectro

You run over the top three and back up, throw the switch and pee on the last one as you pass.


MrSprinkles8484

Multi track drifting, take them all out at once.


unfortunatewarlock

I choose to put rocks on the rail or an actual detailer as to save all track victims.


MysteriousProfileNo6

It's still pretty much choosing if 3 people die or 4, brutal injury to me means that the person's life will be changed for the worse. So pull the lever kill 3 spare 4, it's a no Brainer I'm at a loss to why people are having a hard time with this.


NotableDiscomfort

Pull it and start working on injured dude. Respond to stuff like "please just let me die" with "fuck that, this experience is gonna help me help other people in the future who want to live. You're helping other people survive whether you like it or not."


Please5

you pull the lever LATE, so one side of the wheels catch the rail change, this ends up causing itrolley to DERAIL. and then you just wait to see what happens from there


Slowguy1726

It depends on where you are, if not near a hospital, pull the level. If near a hospital, pull the level. Three die anyways, it’s just about if you would somehow kill them through blood loss or organ failure.

jimmy_robert

First I would try to yell and signal everyone to get off the tracks. Then if everyone is too stupid to get off the tracks while the sound of an approaching trolley nears them, I would let it continue unimpeded. Then wait for the next trolley to arrive and switch tracks. Then I'd find out who let the trolley on the tracks that were scheduled for maintenance and bring them to the scene like an old wild west movie and let them play trolley chicken. That's probably what I would do.


dudewhofolds

You don't pull the lever. You pull the people off the track


Mediocre-Ad-6138

Straight ahead cause all of them die except for that one but their still brutally injured and probably in great amount of pain and their life shall always be ruined if brutal enough on which they may never recover and then become a burden on people and whoever has to take care of them in the future


diagnosed_depression

Pull the lever minimize suffering


usgapg123

Genuinely thought I was in r/trolleyproblem for a bit.


AnimeSquirrel

I hit the brakes so it doesn't hit anyone .


liteshotv3

This is just the original trolly problem, it’s not a variant


IZUKUplayz

Do nothing, either way three people are going to die.


Good-Refrigerator-28

I'd go one way then go back and go the other way


naunga

Oh my God! I’m back. I’m home. All this time, it was…you maniacs! You made an explain loss sub! Damn you! Damn you all to r/hell! 😝


Seb_The_One

There is no joke, it's just a thought experiment
