@KungFuChrissy@CowGirlKisser That's more relevant when one vehicle isn't multiple times heavier than the other. Also you can see how it shears through the truck rather than one hard instant impact, reducing the impact energy even further. I promise you the engineers thought this through lol
@gfodor Just like we must vote blue to protect the kids who may or may not have randomly voted blue, we must likewise vote blue to protect their parents who may have done so to protect their kids. It's not hard to come together to protect each other when only 50% is needed
@abbythelibb_@WeavingAmbrosia No, contriving moral superiority for blue out of thin air is what you want the point of the experiment to be because you're finding yourself instinctively drawn to the individualist option and don't want to reckon with that problem
@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE More accurate is to say if 50% of people press the red button half of all babies, young children, and people with cognitive disabilities die
@infinitihigh1@chewbaca101@cpm987@HyPaladin@summoningsalt You're unintentionally making the point that people like you choosing red forces others to make the same choice or die, thereby concerning anyone who can't figure that out to death. That is why we ought to pick blue, as over 50% of people have in every poll I've seen so far
@infinitihigh1@chewbaca101@cpm987@HyPaladin@summoningsalt The confusing aspect which makes it dangerous for someone who isn't a competent adult is central to the problem. The core question is "are you willing to risk death to save those unable to choose for themselves?" and secondarily how serious you evaluate that risk to be
@BowsersaurusRex @YOUPOSTBAD Key difference here is these options aren't functionally identical to a baby, young child, or other person incapable of reasoning with the problem
@chewbaca101@infinitihigh1@cpm987@HyPaladin@summoningsalt Even if the question allowed for the prep time (which it doesn't), educating every young child and baby (?) on which button to press send a much harder and more error-prone task than half of the competent adult population making an intuitive decision to protect each other
@infinitihigh1@cpm987@HyPaladin@summoningsalt Including babies, young children, and mentally disabled people who press randomly without possibly being able to reason it out. That's this person's whole point
@questionableway Subsistence whaling by Northern native populations is largely insignificant to their populations, and mentioning it in the same breath as commercial whaling cheapens your original point (which I agree with)
.@Pontifex a bunch of kids at school are bullying me and saying that I'll never get retweeted by the pope and I should just kill myself.
I think I'm gonna do it - It was stupid to think I'd ever get retweeted by the pope
@inspireone33@afshinrattansi Do you think that when someone gets shot you're not supposed to help because it's a crime scene? Are you fucking braindead?
