Fun fact: Jackie Chan's parents named him that because his dad ran a porn website similar to 4chan called Jacky Chan in the 1950s before anyone even knew the Internet was possible. Truly a family ahead of the times. It's a shame he went on to be a successful movie star.
I would definitely pull the lever, it looks like AI designed the track to crash into itself. Is this how AI will save the world, through it's own incompetence? π
Apartment buildings have multiple circuits that connect to the grid. Sometimes my power partially goes out, so like these outlets work but those don't, because there's three circuits and one tends to break first
The mediocrity principle suggests that they're just regular people, so pulling the lever will give them a cool loop and possibly accelerate the trolly to make the death quicker, so I'd do that.

business was tough, had to close shop multiple times, but with perseverance kept trying, hence 1chan, 2chan, 3chan, and so forth

Real answer, his original name was chang kong sang, which means born in Hong Kong

Are you sure it wasnt just a site with a load of webs in it

I'd haunt you and your ancestors for a thousand years if your bitch ass didn't pull that lever and let me die without seeing some sick ass shit.

I'd pull the lever cause it's going to derail on that u-turn for sure
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org · 6 pts · 136d
Very optimistic, that it will even make it through the loop.

Yes! The trolley would get stuck on the way down as it hits the first set of rails.
LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 137d
Shit, that would give me enough time to dive on the tracks right in front of the 5 people
WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 136d
Get in line buddy
oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 136d
Thatβs what they are doing
sompreno@lemmy.zip · 16 pts · 136d
There's always a chance it doesn't clear the loop
Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 20 pts · 136d
That is a very high chance based on what we see, given that it is physically too large to make it.
athatet@lemmy.zip · 11 pts · 136d
Nah the loop is further away so the trolly is gonna be smaller by the time it gets there.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 136d
This is how physics work.
bstix@feddit.dk · 1 pts · 136d
The tram will be traveling the loop at close to the speed of light.
Due to special relativity it will be shorter as it goes through the loop, so the wheels will fit the tracks perfectly when observed from the lever.
PodPerson@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 136d
Is there a chance the track could bend?

Not on your life my hindu friend.

There's a chance of anything at any time.
For example, yesterday there were tornados here. A lot of people lost power. I live in an apartment building.
Floors 1-4 have power. Floors 5-7 no power. I can't explain HOW that's possible, but clearly there was a chance.

TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 136d
Blood has a stickiness so the trolly has a better chance to make it through the loop when it crushes the people first.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 136d
Seems unethical not to.
altasshet@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 136d
Bad viewing angle though.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 136d
Not for the people watching at home on pay per view!
rumba@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 136d
The chance for the trolly to fail on the loop or derail on the bend is much higher.
pull it that they might live.
or, since you're ahead of it, pull it, then try to get on board and stop it

Also Builds momentum meaning their death is over quicker.
ilillilillilillililli@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 136d
Loops take momentum, they don't add it. But I also don't want to be called a physics nerd and get my lunch money stolen.
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 136d
ur right ur right, i was being videogame brained.
The loop and the many little turns may reduce momentum enough to save some people, depending on how fast the trolley was already going
paransol@piefed.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 136d
increase passengers adrenalime via loop first
Siegfried@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 136d
If it is moving fast enough to do the loop, it is probably going fast enough to derail on that awsome u turn
Botanicals@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 136d

i'd ask a friend to pull the lever for me so i can be in the trolley

Do a kickflip!

I remember this level in Tony hawk
Mio@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 136d
Wait until train come then start pushing. After the loop you dont know what is or down so you derail before hitting all ppl.
m3t00@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 136d
let them think they will see the loop. hoping it will crash is just torture.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 136d
Only if the trolley does a kickflip on the way too
