Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Agency might matter depending on societal context. 5 hot guys might be worse than 1 hot guy in a world with limited resources, for example.
Everyone knows that 5 of something is usually better than 1. The dilemma comes from finding a situation where that might not be true, and therein exploring some quirks of our own humanity.
It goes too far when people interpret these quirks as fundamental human traits, but there is genuine merit in testing oneself with fun hypotheticals
you've got a peculiar taste for fun, I must admit
edit
to be fair, I don't disagree, and discussing things like that or pondering them can be fun, but I still wouldn't expect such a choice of words ๐Trolley problems can be directly mapped to those "would you rather" drinking games. e.g. Would you have sex with your dad to save your mum's life?
The question is meaningless in a normal context, the answer is meaningless in a normal context, but it's fun to explore your limits in strange circumstances, no?
That's true, there's even a party game that consists solely of controversial topics to talk about, not even this kind of weird ones
