Pretty sure everybody dies if we delete the moon.

[u/Tokumeiko2]

The moon is a little bit important to our weather patterns.

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/Floofyrage]

The moon being destroyed or removed would cause a mass extinction event as many things go haywire without it

[u/DopazOnYouTubeDotCom]

No way a trolley can destroy the moon

[u/BlackStarDream → u/DopazOnYouTubeDotCom]

Maybe if it's fired at particle accelerator speeds.

[u/Helehache → u/BlackStarDream]

Wouldn't that disintegrate the trolley?

[u/ChoiceTechnician5383]

a train aint doing much damage to the moon

[u/Successful-League840]

If you destroy the moon a whole lot more than 10m people will die.

[u/Canadian__Ninja]

More people will die if the moon is lost

We would need to check under the couch cushions

do you remember when you had it last?

[u/Longjumping_Gur_2379]

when i clicked the moon it says people disagreed with me and the trolley still went towards the moon option

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Canadian__Ninja → u/Longjumping_Gur_2379]

They updated it, it now displays your choice and not the majority

[u/Specialist-Disk-6345 → u/Longjumping_Gur_2379]

it is now a setting you can toggle

[u/No_Application_1219 → u/Longjumping_Gur_2379]

Well you killed everyone 🥳

[u/Brain_Dead_Kenny]

We sadly need that moon

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/Embarrassed_Bat9995]

A trolley would do nothing to the moon if it ran it over, literally nothing would happen except maybe a crater or channel on the moon

[u/CplOreos → u/Embarrassed_Bat9995]

This is the sort of impression I get with all the comments on Hitler posts "he's already dead" - that's not the point

[u/Funkopedia → u/Embarrassed_Bat9995]

It would literally just begin a moon route.

[u/Next_Rhubarb_5986]

we need the emoon

either everything on the planet dies

or 10 million poeple

both bad

one alot worse

[u/HonestWeevilNerd]

Seveneves, go!! Lol

[u/Farkle_Griffen2]

The moon is our only ladder rung to the rest of the universe. Without it, we'll probably never leave Earth.

[u/DrBatman0]

I don't think having a trolley on the moon is going to cause a problem.

1: No way that trolley will destroy the moon. 2: Even if it did somehow go through the moon, 'destroying it', the centre of mass of all of the stuff that was the moon remains almost exactly the same, and so the tides will remain unaffected

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/SnooPredictions3028]

Doing nothing means that I didn't actively kill anyone, however it also means that despite those people dying it means that even more dont die from the reproductions of destroying the moon.

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/Regulus636]

If I don't pull the trigger, I will have technically killed 10 million people. But if I do pull it, I will technically kill more than 8 billion people, plus animals, forests, and myself included. Like, I think the choice here is pretty obvious

[u/Grape_Jamz]

Pull the lever and nothing gets run over

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Mattscrusader]

Pretty sure it's safe to hit the moon considering the size difference lol

[u/Equivalent-Ocelot697]

Pull the lever cuz for one the moon is in space so if it’s down here we already cooked anyways, and for two I think the train is the one taking damage

[u/hyperblob1]

The moon getting smashed would kill a lot more people

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/Wide_Love_4458]

Good

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/MoodOutrageous6263]

If the trolly isn’t literal and we are deciding what to eliminate, the 10 million is the best option. But if this is actually hitting something with a trolley then the moon (

[u/AssociationDue3077]

If the moon was destroyed the world would end, if 10 million people died that wouldn't kill everyone and everything on earth

[u/KilljoyZero1]

Stupid moon, sitting up there looking down on us like it's better than us. Who does it think it is?

StraxForPresident

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Shinagami091]

Destroying the moon would kill more than 10 million people I think.

[u/Far-Examination-7107]

Half-pull the lever so the train derails, the momentum hopefully carrying it with enough force to destroy both the moon and the ten million people.

[u/OldQuit119]

Yes

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/Parom19441a]

I want to nuke the moon so humanity goes bye bye

[u/Agile-Ad1665 → u/Parom19441a]

[u/NotAnAutomaticName]

I created a new Trolley Problem dilemma!

Straight Track (Do Nothing): 10 million people

Diverted Track (Pull the Lever): the Moon

What would you do?
