An imaginary trolley is traveling down the tracks. On the track it is heading toward, five imaginary people are tied down and about to be killed. On the other track, there is only one imaginary person. You have control of the switcher. If you switch tracks, the trolley will run over one imaginary person and loop back around to do the whole thought experiment again, potentially forever. If you do nothing, five imaginary people will die and the thought experiment will end.

A trolley is traveling around Koholint island, carrying eight instruments. You can play the instruments and wake the Windfish, thus dooming the island but saving the cool flying whale from eternal nightmares, or you can let the nightmares continue (which is just mean to the cool whale 🥺…) and be trapped there forever with a cute girl who has a seagull fursona.

@ziphi the answer is clear, if you can imagine the trolley advancing towards helpless people, you can imagine stopping the trolley before it causes harm to the people.
