this makes alarm bells go off in my brain.
things are going smoothly because you're not in control and your destination is a bad place.

Literally reading this on a trolley where everything is fine.
(by which I mean train, I actually have no idea what a "trolley" actually is)
It's the thing you put your groceries in and wheel around in a supermarket
The biggest lesson I've learned from trolley problems is that it is way safer to be on a trolley than it is to be tied to trolley tracks.
Are you sure ruzzian ultrasonic missiles are not heading your way right now?
I flip the switch initiating the chaos!
It's the trolley after it hit the people on it's tracks.
Reality is more like the trolly is traveling on a straight track while the entire world is going to hell around it, but there's nothing you can do because the trolly just goes on and on.
Big Trolley propaganda. Note that they only show you the very near future path, and not what's really ahead.
They promise everything will be like this, but then next thing you know you're tied to the tracks.
Zoom in. The tracks are just made of laborers.
Live ones or their bones? Because my settlers of Catan strategy feels awfully called out
I was imagining live ones. Bones are probably okay.
Look if I build all my settlements on sheep, that's what the dice are going to roll you hear me RNGesus? Don't make me bring my handyman up to heaven. He has a nail gun and all kinds of neat power tools to distract RNGesus (carpenters gonna carpent) while I steal some sheep.
Finally a trolley meme I can get behind.
People on the trolley never had a problem. The always travel safely to their destination.
But imagine if there were a problem...
Sounds very suspicious. Better pull the emergency ~~break~~ brake and start looking.
Brake
Freudian slip!
Thanks.
Did op observing the trolley change the results, quantum physics in action.
Anxiety be like
I want this framed.
Can't relate tbh
Hweeew finally safe passage
This is communism!!!
The problem isn't the trolley, it's the destination.
Sike you thought
The tracks are made of people
I'm taking this as a blessing for the 4 hour drive I'm boutta make.
The "tracks" are just representing the path of people with the least resistance
