I’m banking on that, myself.
This looks like a job for Trolley Man
Three bodies on the lower track, one body on the upper track. Which one do you hit?
I got in trouble when I said “the bakes”. Then the teacher said "there’s no brakes. So I said “yes there is. The federal railroad administration would not saction a train to be operational on their tracks without safety proceedures.”
Not my fault I grew up loving trains…
But it’s a trolley, not a train
A trolley would be an intercity transportation system, and thus the only place it would have reason to have a switch would be at the depot yard, which would also have other workers there at all working hours. Some would even be 24/7.
Furthermore, a trolley wouldn’t have the same problem a train would, in that it CAN stop on a dime. See my whole thing when this was a train, and I’m standing at the switch, was that I know there would be a posted emergancy number that reaches dispatch directly. THIS is the number you need to call in the event of an emergancy. Not the cops. Not the train company. You need the emergancy number posted at every switch and railroad crossing. They are in communication with the train 24/7, and can stop a train faster. Not instantly, but as fast to instantly as possible within the limitations of momentum.
Whereas a trolley would not have these issues. They travel at city speeds at a drastic fraction of the weight. They can stop closer to the reaction time a bus would. And they’d still have brakes, although the mandating body on this would vary from state to state, with Ohio being the Ohio Highway Department of Transportation.
So at the depot yard they wouldn’t even be traveling at city speeds. They’d be going more like 5mph like you would in a parting lot, vs a road.
But the premise of the trolley problem already has some element of sabotage considering there’s people tied up on the track. I’d imagine if they would do that, they’d also break the trolley brakes. And that the villain likely would have done this at a depot yard because of what you said.
I mean, you’re pretty knowledgeable about this; if you, for whatever reason, and others, decided to tie people down at the depot and incapacitate the workers, surely you with your knowledge and expertise could find a way to disable the brakes and have the trolley go as fast as possible, right?
We aren’t drawing straws when ol monkey torture racist and dedicated misogynist who ran a campaign to convince tweens Hitler wasn’t so bad is around
The hand-book says we roll 1d6. On a one or a two, we save the monkey torturer. On a 4-6, we put both doses back in storage.
Are the people on the bed actual people or random faces?
I need the modlog, stat!
Replace the middle one with “We have PLENTY” and I still respect it.
welp I had a good run. once they see my soul less random bullshit from a different time (pre-Elon) I’m toast.
Skip the skinhead at position #3
I’d like for all bald men not to be thrown in that particular bag, thank you very much
I keep mine sheared most of the time. Skinheads are a Nazi offshoot fyi
Skinheads are not a nazi offshoot fyi.
Not going to argue that nazis have co-opted the shaved head thing, but the actual skinheads would happily beat the shit out of a nazi any day.
OK, Nazi sympathizers then. Pulled from the SPLC:
“The racist skinhead movement in the United States has entered its fourth decade. Since the first skinhead gangs surfaced in Texas and the Midwest in the early 1980s, this racist and violent subculture has established itself in dozens of states from coast to coast and has authored some of the country’s most vicious hate crimes in memory, from arson to assault to murder. The racist skinheads’ trademark style — shaved head, combat boots, bomber jacket, neo-Nazi and white power tattoos — has become a fixture in American culture.”

You’re talking about the 80s. Skinheads are from the 60s, and also not from the United States. Like I said, nazis co-opted the look, but it didn’t start with them.
Nah skip the old man in position #2
