I like to think I'm an introverts extravert. Most of my friends are introverts and they seem to like having me around, especially in busy social settings since I can act as a barrier to help manage the mayhem. I will gladly offer my services to the introvert who pulls the lever.

Fuck it [flips switch]

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

turn the lever and run like hell

That ... could work.

stop the train and run for your life, don't let them get to you

[–] calabast@lemm.ee 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Remember, if they bite you, you only have a minute to kill yourself.

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Haha what is this gif from?

This scene made me laugh so hard even though I've already seen the gif and laughed at that.

Would you rather murder a stranger, or be forced to interact with them for 5 seconds?

[–] kofe@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers... Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.

Wait, you're a stranger! Look ma I did it!

I rather tie my self up and pick a spot than get stuck interacting with a stranger for 5 seconds.

"So, as I was saying officer, as I am not a trained trolley operator I didn't knew the lever was a mechanism for it to do thinks, so I watched in horror as it approached the... (tries hard to hide smile)"

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I could do a few small talks before I'm socially exhausted, so maybe if i pull the lever about halfway through?

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Maybe just run over their mouth parts

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

If I pull the lever hard enough, will the trolley reverse? If so - can I jump on it to avoid the conversation?

Imma ride on top of the trolley like its a skateboard

[–] Lux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 3 days ago

So how long have you been in the trolley stopping business?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

As someone who worked in a gas station for 24 years..

sigh

I’d do it. I’d suck it up. I’d make some damn good friends along the way and then I’d never maintain those friendships and feel guilty for the rest of rest of my life. “Just call him, dipshit. He’s going through a divorce! Just go fishing! Pleaaassse! Ok, here goes. Tomorrow.”

Always tomorrow.

Ah, this comment makes much more sense now.

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did you know that a single molecule of water has more hydrogen atoms than there are stars

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

:p yoooooou! What are you doing here?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 36 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I could lay down on the tracks, right?

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Yes, but then you'd be joining a group activity.

[–] cypherix93@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Get in front of the train so you don't have to make a decision

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately, that is also a decision.

This is so scary, perfect timing for spooky season. You gotta keep up that outer image...

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago

This one seems especially unsolvable...

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But maybe you wont stop it in time for some of them, so then the families of those few in the front that died will forever hate you for not stopping it slightly sooner.

See, this is where you need a super hero persona; all masked super heroes are confirmed socially awkward!

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

Run on the track while holding the lever

The train will be stopped, but the person who pulled the lever wouldnt be alive to be thanked
