[a character holds a lever connected to rails, on which a train is approaching fast]
A train is approaching fast…
Many people are tied to the tracks…
As a bystander, I can do only one thing in this current moment: flip a lever, which would send the train to another track where it would also kill people, but less of them

[next to another separate railway track, someone is trying to get the first character’s attention]
Hey you, over there, look!
There is a third track here!
It is not connected to the other tracks, but there are zero people tied to it, so if you do not choose to send the train on this third track right now you are an evil genocide enabling liberal

    I would have said derailing the trolley is the only ethical choice, but I did not consider that option.

    You’ve changed my mind. Multi-track drifting it is.

      One of them could literally be Hitler 2: Electric Boogaloo. I’d take no risk
