The Troll-ey Problem

Flip it back and forth as fast as you can and see if you can get it to jack knife

Well... if you put it that way, pulling the lever at least gives me something to do in the meantime.

I get to flip a switch and have the trolley take the tiny detour I've caused it. Fuck being a tiny, insignificant blip in the endless context of time. I got to pull a god damn lever and make a trolley follows a tiny bump that I've caused. I get to ride that joy!

Oops, went a little off the rails about it, though…

It's like that light switch on my wall that does nothing. But I flip it every time I walk past.

Except a year after I moved in, I got a letter from some woman in Germany that said "knock it off."

Yes. Because it'll make the clang-clang noise when it goes by me.

I do. With verve!

See, if you pull the lever halfway, you have a chance to derail the trolley. No one ever mentions that.

Fuck yeah, LETS GOOOOOOOO

Pull lever to wave to trolley

Trick question, I throw myself in front of the trolley

Nah, that would take, like, effort, man.

If you pull the lever the train takes slightly longer, annoying the people inside.

No, I kidnap some people and tie them to the railroad tracks

I mean I would have fun sending it on a little detour, but I worry that if the switch is no properly set at the point where the rails merge back into 1, the trolley might derail. The drawing of that point looks like a mess, too.

Very succinct. Though a little outdated in our post-qanon world.

Turn it into a story about the time you got the opportunity to flip a trolley track switch.
