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.

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

Tbh 2ch was a real thing

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

SillyDude@lemmy.zip · 46 pts · 136d

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.

Pupschism@lemmy.world · 38 pts · 136d

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? 😝

Shaper@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 136d (1 reply)

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.

altphoto@lemmy.today · 22 pts · 136d

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 (2 replies)

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 (1 reply)

Get in line buddy

oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 136d

That’s what they are doing

sompreno@lemmy.zip · 16 pts · 136d (9 replies)

There's always a chance it doesn't clear the loop

Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 20 pts · 136d (3 replies)

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 (2 replies)

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 (1 reply)

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 (4 replies)

Is there a chance the track could bend?

Teppa@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 136d (1 reply)

Not on your life my hindu friend.

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 136d (1 reply)

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.

theneverfox@pawb.social · 1 pts · 136d

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

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 (1 reply)

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

Gork@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 136d

Hell yeah 😎

smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 137d

In the words of Kite Man, "Hell yeah!"

mgenehoffman@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 136d

Hell yeah loop de loop

Also Builds momentum meaning their death is over quicker.

ilillilillilillililli@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 136d (1 reply)

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

Nice 🀘

zerobot@lemmy.wtf · 3 pts · 136d

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

Etterra@discuss.online · 2 pts · 136d

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.

ayyy@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 136d

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
