Am I also in range of the nuclear bomb, or am I safe? Unclear as the image doesn't specify if it is drawn to scale or not. Also which direction are the tracks currently pointing.

Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago (18 children)

the c++ team is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. can we just shoot Brendan Eich in the head if he's not in there too?

Push him onto the pressure pad. Make it his fault.

I feel like all C++ does these days is badly and very slowly copy other languages. It wouldn't be a huge loss.

Javascript Standards Team is such an Oxymoron.

β€œYou and your entire family” means β€œAll life on Earth”.

That should make the decision somewhat easier.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

By my definition, family is who you treat like family.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I try to treat everyone I meet like family

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

If you make it "all human live" it starts to look quite attractive again

there might be an argument that JavaScript kills more than a nuclear bomb

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 28 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Ok so this one just isn't fair.

Two possibilities end up with me dead, two end up with millions dead, and one ends up with me being unemployed.

Sorry not sorry Team A and B, sacrifices must be made.

I'd take my odds with the bottom track.

Assuming it is in the US, at 4.5 million it can only be San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

would the bomb also kill javascript and C++ or would I have to keep throwing trolleys at it until I get both silicon valley and the JS/C++ devs?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At that distance it also kills you, so it sounds like a good deal. No regrets.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

win win win

I've played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don't know which way. Better trigger it!!

[–] darkbaron202@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

30%? Let me deliver that shot with crit across the map to your teammate hunkered down behind full cover for you!

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 19 points 1 week ago

A Mark VI only has a 18 to 160 kiloton yield.

Can we replace it with a B83?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well, you can take yourself out of the equation because you're not tied down and can just move after flipping the switch.

chooses bottom track

"C'mon...c'mon!"

trolley heads towards committe members

"Dammit!"

runs over and jumps on the nuclear bomb pressure pad

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!

Joke's on you I hate myself and my family

[–] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are we in the blast zone of the nuke?

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe we could use Javascript to direct a simple robot to set the lever while we remain at a safe distance?

Maybe the real solution to this diagram is to nuke it from orbit.

[–] seang96@spgrn.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But the robot has to run windows vista

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

And have a valid Apple developer account?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Am I in the Metropolitan area?

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You are on track A and the bomb is within sight. If you get the shit end of the 50/50, everyone in the diagram would be vaporized instantly

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So you're saying there's a 100% chance the comitees get vaporized by choosing the bottom track.

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, no.

In scenario A they are instantly vaporized. In scenario B they are brutally sliced into multiple pieces and crushed to death, rather painfully depending on the speed of the trolley.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

You need to study up on your trolleys. That's clearly a Vaporizer Trolleynator 3000.

Middle track. Then I have plenty of time to hotwire the nuke with my handy dandy mallet
