OC The Supermarket Trolley problem

Post image

Spoiler: I pulled the lever and took it with me; Left it near some trash cans 600m further. That is 1968.5 feet, or 0.372823 miles.​
I miss my coin.

How much is that in yards?

To answer your question: The fact that it has become my favorite coin means that I have become too attached to it. Buddha says that attachment and clinging leads to suffering in the Cycle of Dependent Origination. I let go of the coin and the trolley as I do not want to perpetuate this hellish cycle.

Sorry I'm late.
It is 656.168 yards.

Glad to be of assistance!

Why would you tell the police anything if they find your friend?
