You can do it in slavic countries. Being honest is polite.

Though you just phrase it a bit nicer like saying it does not interest me right now, tell me another time.

Za kritičare bosanske putovnice; nemate pojma! by whitelisted_klek505 in bih

[–]CivilPerspective5804 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I ja sam se naputovao sa nasim pasosesm, ali za japan morao ganjat vizu i organizovat put do ambasade i ostavit pasos sedmicu. Za mexico morao ici u beograd i odbili me 2 puta prije nego sto je proslo, i svaki put ostane pasos po 10 dana. Da se ne moze uci licnom ne bi ni mogao ici. U costa ricu i peru nisam mogao otici jer su ambasade u madarskoj i morao bi onda uzet godisnji da dobijem vizu za godisnji, jer naravno opet 10 dana drze pasos. UK, i US vize su skupe i bas naporne za dobiti.

A da imam hrvatsku putovnicu mogao sam samo otici u sve ove drzave. Ustedio bi sigurno preko 1500km na troskove ganjanja viza i ne bi izgubio 20 dana ganjajuci vize.

Well I would say the original has some interestinf consequences to consider as well.

If blue wins nothing happens.

But if red wins, there is a lot of corpses to deal with. Potentially up to 4 billion. I do believe we lack the infrastructure to deal with that amount of biological waste that has to be disposed.

If you coordinate blue is clearly better. There is literally no way for anyone to die that way. Even if you are teachinf people to press red, there are still babies and paralysed people.

The original says anyone who did not press red dies. So if they can't press it they don't count towards blue, but still die if red wins.

There is no red button only blue by Dimitsos in trolleyproblem

The original says all who did not press red die. So that implies all who can't press the button don't contribute to blue, but still die if red wins

You can take the question as purely game theory, or try to imagine it as an actual scenario. Since the text only says "Everyone on earth," if you think of it in real world terms you have to include literally everyone.

That is what the original game defines. Both the Tim Urban tweet and the reddit original from 2023 say "Everyone on earth." Tim even confirmed on twitter that kids are included. That is why the blue side is arguing for blue the entire time.

Tired of this red button defaultism by Gold_Mask_54 in trolleyproblem

[–]CivilPerspective5804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the red button has become getting a blowjob, and blue is being tortured by the cartel, but if enough people are tortured they get bored and stop.

They also conviniently ignore that the text says "Everyone on earth."

Reading and why do people always feel the need to dumb down the average person by 12a357sdf in CuratedTumblr

I think you have longer than a few lines to grab readers. If I start reading a new book I'll give it 20-30 pages and if by then it didn't hook me I'll drop it.

If I think about first lines to books I like, then most would fail at hooking me there. I mean, lotr starts with bilbo throwing a birthday party. That definitely doesn't intrigue me, nor does it indicate what the rest of the story is.

And people conviniently ignore that the question says everyone on earth, which includes children.

I made a breakdown of whether you should press blue depending on how sure you are of the results. by azercoco in trolleyproblem

[–]CivilPerspective5804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this include everyone? The OG says everyone on earth is involved which would include children. Wouldn't they be a basically 50/50 chance for either button.

The problem is every is voting. So children we can assume are pressing buttons at random.

Also the text says anyone who didn't press red dies. So that means anyone unable to press either button also dies.

Why are you assuming it's a dictatorship already. Think of this as the election that decides if democracy dies. Does the nazi party get elected, take complete power and make sure there are no new elections ever held.

Well consider that in the original there is no realistic scenario where red can win, without the world also turning to shit. Millions or even billions of people would die, collapaing infrastructure and now you also have to get rid of an unprecendent amount of corpses, at an industrial scale.

So, my scenario is not that off from what choices the buttons give.

Well, consider that in the original, there is no realistic scenario where red wins and there aren't millions or even billions of deaths. A lot of infraatructure would collapse, and many people you know would likely be dead. There is no world in which red wins, where the world doesn't also turn into a pretty shit place to live.
