A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I believe that the trolley portion is partly subtext: notice how, unlike in the traditional problem, there's nobody ON the other track. This is a variant where you must risk/accept personal annihilation of self to cause someone else identical to yourself to save five lives. It does add a layer, but I think it would be better to explicitly state the actual sacrifice, rather than asking the trite question.
