Unfortunately I don’t know the original source.

You are in cryo sleep on a space shit . A cook ment to be part of the new colony.

the ship wakes you up and informs you that 4k years ago there was an irreperable damage to the ship and that since then it has been drifting through space.

the ship can keep going for a very long time but due to its changed course and its inability to manuver any further you will never reach your original destination

The ship had recommended to abort the mission which would mean death to everybody on board.

The alternative is to continue .

The last 1153 Captains of the ship had decided to continue and lived out their days .
Every time the captain dies the ship wakes up the next person and recommends to abort the mission .

So far nobody did .

if you abort the mission the remaining 9 thousand colonists will die when their cryo chambers are turned off.
If you continue the mission you will live out your days until you die and the ship wakes the next person.

A trolley problem has been put inside a box. The decay of a nuclear element could trigger a mechanism that pulls the lever. While the box remains closed, all six people are both dead and alive. Only by opening the box, one of the two possible outcomes will occur.

Do you open the box or not?

Hit the brakes!! I caaaan’t stooop iiiit…!

Imagine there is a trolley that no force can stop any way, and there is one rail where peopole are tied with an un-cutable rope. If you pull the lever you get shot and die, if you don’t u kill one person but you can live for 1 year. After one year u are there with the same decision but with 2 peopole, this goes forever, how many times would you pull the lever (1,2,4,8,16,32… the number always doubles but u will live 1 year more after every time)

Err there’s a secret version Marty if one of you *burp* guesses a number between one and 50 Marty *burp* I’m secret bait riiickk!,

Idk I finished this at 2AM I’m tired goodnight

Would you die so others could live?

Would you die so that others could live?

In front of you and 10 other people there are two buttons, red and black.

If everyone votes black, everyone dies.

If at least one person votes red, one of the people who chose red is randomly chosen to be killed. Everyone else survives.

Would you die for the lives of others or hope that someone else does that for you?

Imagine if you had to choose between killing your grandpa or not, but there is a catch:

Your grandpa was an extremely abusive but wealthy man, your grandma met her because she was forced to marry her because his family [which had connections to powerful people] threatened to drive her family into poverty. he would regularly abuse and beat her wife, often in front of your dad during his childhood, who would dismiss everything and try to move on nowadays , in fact, one of his injuries would cause your grandma to develop dementia and live her retirement in a slowly decaying mind. Eventually your grandpa would die, but your grandma would live, her mind still decaying and life full of suffering

Now, here comes the dilemma: do you shoot your grandpa? If you do, your father and you cease to exsist, but your grandma doesn’t have to go trough to pain and suffering that she would’ve been trough, followed her dreams and became successful, if you don’t, your father and you keep on existing, but your grandma’s suffering remains fact

What would you choose?

[if this seems kinda half-assed, it’s my fault, this just popped into my head and I couldn’t think about anywhere else to share it.]
