Sounds like your typical game theory problem.

Questions: why doesn't the person at the switch run and get the person off the tracks? And the people on the trolley hop off or try to the sslow the trolley?
They are tied to their chair with the only thing they can do being flipping the lever. It is the prisoner’s trolley problem
something something about conservation of momentum, them jumping off speeds up the trolley

Which loved one are we talking about here? Some are more loved than others.
Jokes on you, No loved ones, so who cares if you pull the lever or not, go have a frothy instead.
Yell to the other lever dude that I'm not pulling the lever but fuck those beige dudes, hope they can't tell i'm lying, run and lay down with the beige dudes, and if I'm lucky they pull their lever too and we get maximum carnage. If lever dude suspects I'm lying and insane, and thus doesn't pull their lever, at least I won't have to answer my loved ones' questions.
Veritasium did a great video on the prisoners dilemma... What Game Theory Reveals about Life, The Universe, and Everything Prof. Robert Axelrod held a tournament in 1980 to produce a computer program to explore the prisoners dilemma... Axelrod's Tournament
Goddamn it, Joker
Throw the trolley off the side of the ferry.
and here. we. go
I think the premise falls apart on the assumption that I consider pulling the lever as best case.
Yeah, it would be more interesting if the middle track were empty.
Nuke it from orbit.
👍 It's the only way to be sure
I would tie a really really long string to the lever and attach the string to a large bird and then scare it into flying away. Then I would eat some delicious Heinz Baked Beans
And where are their arms and legs?
They didn't keep them inside the car at all times.
amputee representation. don't make it weird.
The last line of these is always what the poster wants to happen
everything else is skewed rationale to make you think it is a funny
it is, in reality, anti-intellectual propaganda

What do I do? I introduce myself to the other person, then we go out for drinks, then we fuck all night.
We no longer give a shit about the assholes on the tracks.
Philosphers really just go "imagine how fucked up it would be if..." and then take it incredibly seriously
Give the loved ones guns
easy pull both levers
