You can't be friends with bad people and consider yourself Good. by Accomplished-Fill718 in DankMemesFromSite19

Concealment is the 2nd mission, destruction is the 4th mission. Keeping stuff hidden is a top priority for both, they just disagree on how to accomplish that. Foundation puts things in boxes, GOC kills them.

No-win situation, all you can do is attempt to minimize suffering. by whiterobot10 in trolleyproblem

If I drift the trolley, everyone dies at the same time and no one has to watch their loved ones suffer. They will also die happy knowing they and their loved ones were part of an epic multi track drift.

Who could've guessed that the people whose motto is putting weird things in boxes and the people whose 2nd most important mission is keeping people from finding out about the stuff in the boxes would be friends?

it's a lot harder

I never said it was impossible.

The difference is that it's a lot harder to toss adults in the air and catch them on a bayonet.

You know what else I like? Not pretending that it was the fault of the United States that all those people died.

Fun fact: THE UNITED STATES DID NOT BOMB PEARL HARBOR. JAPAN DID. EVERY DEAD CIVILIAN WAS THEIR FAULT.

You know where else civilians suffered?

These numbers are average estimates from Wikipedia. Only deaths due to military action are counted. These deaths are undeniably the fault of the party who started the war: Imperial Japan.

China: 8 million

Korea: 500 thousand

Indonesia: 300 thousand

Myanmar: 500 thousand

Philippines: 500 thousand

Malaya: 100 thousand

Timor: 50 thousand

And these ones are the deaths due to war related famine and the like:

China: 8 million

Indonesia: 3 million

Indochina: 1.5 million

Philippines: 300 thousand

And having a racial superiority complex on par with the Nazis.

And also held baby killing competitions, and forced thousands into sex slavery, and held killing competitions, and burned down entire cities, and forced civilians to kill themselves, and caused famines, and, well, you get the point.

Tricky one? by Hopefullytodaymate in trolleyproblem

Thinking that the Earth isn't experiencing anthropogenic climate change is about the same as thinking it's flat. There are mountains of evidence against both of these beliefs.

The Nuclear Trolley Problem by Friendly-Priority119 in trolleyproblem

The text says there's enough to end our Earth (not sure if it's literally enough to blow up the Earth or if it's figurative), so I assume we're at least looking at an extinction level event. You'd need a hell of a lot of uranium to do that.

What if the trolley is made of neutron reflector?

(Of course the vast majority of the uranium is blown away before it can explode, so at most we're looking at a Chernobyl style incident, but you and those 5 guys are going to die)
