The Trolley Problem meme originates from a philosophical thought experiment that presents an ethical dilemma: whether to pull a lever to divert a runaway trolley, killing one person instead of five. Initially proposed by philosopher Philippa Foot in 1967, it has evolved into various memes that exaggerate the moral choices involved, often depicting ridiculous scenarios to highlight the complexity of ethical decision-making. the Trolley Problem meme

This interactive site lets you play such absurd scenarios out. There are lots of other fun games on the site as well, be careful not to use the whole afternoon on it :)
