Good news, there is an unambiguously correct answer! We live in physical reality, where there's a third choice!
IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: Trolley problem solution "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment, bringing the trolley to a safe halt. Thank a rail worker today!

This was the collar insignia for the SS-TV!

Look at this spoiled asshole, sitting on the counter like a king on his throne.

There's an absolutely perfect meme for this.
Tweet reading "Being a human is so confusing because you are basically an animal with a soul, so sometimes you're like" am I experiencing a profound spiritual desolation or have I not eaten enough for breakfast? Impossible to tell." Reply: "One time I legit cried because I felt like none of my friends liked me and then I ate sushi and was fine"

I too own a Ragdoll whose head is filled with nothing but her own fluff.
Penny the Ragdoll sitting on a hardwood floor in my dining room. She is gorgeously fluffy and stares with beautiful blue eyes at the kitchen floor. The kitchen floor, despite being an inanimate object, is objectively smarter.

The sheer weirdness of the Örb picture. It's a shot from the kind of 80s fantasy movie that would make a great episode of MST3K.
