Nice job OP!🍿
If I pull the lever hard enough, will the trolley reverse? If so - can I jump on it to avoid the conversation?
has it become popular to be a complete social inept? i’ve never seen so many kids that can’t handle basic human interaction as i have in the last 5 years. WTF?
Why are you seeing so many kids for the last 5 years? Do you have a representative sample size?
I feel like getting a feel for how people in society actually act from memes is a dangerous game. I think the point of them is to push passed hyperbole so that people laugh at it, and then share it with friends.
Also, inept isn’t a noun.
OP screaming at the top of their lungs: “Why are you kids so socially inept?!”
(Kids awkwardly backing away from this crazy person)
If we can verb nouns, we can noun adjectives!

The terminally online are 90% of Lemmy’s content machine.
I get curated stuff for free so I’m happy those people exist but yeah don’t take their worldview as the norm.
Nah, most of these nerds are just unhealthy online
The way you interface with strangers on the web is also something that could use a modicum of effort.
Be what you want the web to look like.
user generated toxicity, nerdy shit, and thigh pics are all good parts of the internet.
No, it’s just over sampling on the Internet.
I think that people are more willing to talk about it now, because mental illness is less stigmatized than it used to be.
Imma ride on top of the trolley like its a skateboard
I like to think I’m an introverts extravert. Most of my friends are introverts and they seem to like having me around, especially in busy social settings since I can act as a barrier to help manage the mayhem. I will gladly offer my services to the introvert who pulls the lever.
“So, as I was saying officer, as I am not a trained trolley operator I didn’t knew the lever was a mechanism for it to do thinks, so I watched in horror as it approached the… (tries hard to hide smile)”
I utterly loathe people who are like this.
What a strange thing to hate. It makes you angry when people don’t want to do small talk?
See the post below since your alt? account said the same thing.
What a strange thing to hate. It makes you angry when people struggle with social anxiety?
Sometimes, yeah.
Or, specifically, I can’t stand the people who constantly post about how they have social anxiety in a public place for attention (which seems like the opposite of what they would want) and have this whole persona of a “smol widdle sad bean 8c I’d wather wet people die den tawk to dem”.
I’ve had to deal with a lot of toxic, manipulative people who use their identity of having “social anxiety” as a way to manipulate and control others. “I am so weak and tired from talking and anxious, we should go back to the hotel right now and if we don’t I’m going to throw a fit!” Doesn’t matter if it’s the funeral for their partner’s dad and said partner hasn’t seen their family in years because they live far away and it’s really important for them to get closure, naw, the anxiety is more important so we gotta leave NOW.
So yeah, I don’t like some socially anxious people. And I hate people who have attitudes like this comic, because for some people, it’s not hyperbole, they are that selfish and self centered.
I don’t understand, do you mean talking with people who want to chill by themselves or running a trolly over people?
The people who make social anxiety their whole identity. See the larger comment if you want more detail.
Would you rather murder a stranger, or be forced to interact with them for 5 seconds?
Well murder risks further interaction with cops, the legal system, lawyers… Can I just stare at the stranger for 5 seconds? I could probably manage a smile.
Wait, you’re a stranger! Look ma I did it!
I rather tie my self up and pick a spot than get stuck interacting with a stranger for 5 seconds.
So how long have you been in the trolley stopping business?
Haha what is this gif from?
Bocchi the Rock
This scene made me laugh so hard even though I’ve already seen the gif and laughed at that.
I could lay down on the tracks, right?
Yes, but then you’d be joining a group activity.
Get in front of the train so you don’t have to make a decision
Unfortunately, that is also a decision.
As someone who worked in a gas station for 24 years…
sigh
I’d do it. I’d suck it up. I’d make some damn good friends along the way and then I’d never maintain those friendships and feel guilty for the rest of rest of my life. “Just call him, dipshit. He’s going through a divorce! Just go fishing! Pleaaassse! Ok, here goes. Tomorrow.”
Always tomorrow.
Did you know that a single molecule of water has more hydrogen atoms than there are stars
:p yoooooou! What are you doing here?
turn the lever and run like hell
That … could work.
This is so scary, perfect timing for spooky season. You gotta keep up that outer image…
