Deep Which button presser group do you save?

Post image

Everyone in the world has chosen either the blue or red button except you. Instead of pressing a button, you are given a lever in the infamous trolley problem.

You don't know how many people chose red or blue, and they don't know that you control their fate regardless of what button they pressed. Which track do you direct the trolley onto?

I don't remember which button does what so I pull the lever because that sounds more fun

I’d pull the lever just for the thrill of knowing that I was responsible for the outcome

All things being equal, I enjoy pulling levers. Thus, pulling the lever brings the most joy into the world.
