Bro 5
Some people got a problem with bros
You know that?
Bros
Bros
Bras aren't drama enough
The bro
The bro vibe is
It's not the same.
Not enough, um, anger.
Yeah.
Do we agree too much?
Do we, I was just about to say, do we agree too much?
Um, there are things we disagree on.
There are things we disagree on.
Like?
Hmm.
Like.
Like.
Maybe they kind of got a point.
Oh, me.
I mean.
I mean, people say that.
sat domicast too when ralph left they were like you guys agreed too much man yeah it's
like well it's not even true you would just say stuff like we did like two or three episodes in a
row where we like recommended silly dumb movies that were just like breezy and a talking cat or
whatever yeah um people like well they never talk about good movies anymore
right
yeah you're gonna look in for
yeah
but good afternoon
bro afternoon bro morning
bro evening or bright
the awesome
Netflix film by
defame max landis
he mentioned me
on the kind of funny podcast
that's your claim to fame
that's my claim to fame
yeah welcome to
broke us five i guess and we host four five five i think we just did four six i don't know a couple beers
in it's like 10 p.m we've just recorded one i mean no we didn't just record one this is a whole new week
it's a whole new week it's a whole new moment yeah we just can't um we we we we lost for one week
the ability to read comments yeah so no sometimes i wonder if like if you're
When you record ahead, there's obviously like a week.
You haven't anticipated that hasn't happened yet.
Yeah.
So like, what if something just nuts?
Yeah.
And then like they press play thinking like, when are they going to talk about that thing?
Yeah.
No, we don't know about that thing.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
It could be like, it could be fallout right now for all we know.
Yeah.
Straight up.
We could be ghouls.
We could be ghouls by now.
Before we get too deep into this show, let me shout out of the jail.
Media patrons over the Jail.
Media Patreon.
They make the audio version of the show.
show possible over on that Spotify
over on that SoundCloud or
wherever you listen
but that's not all
if you're a dibby tier above you get those
patron names read out by yours
truly and yours truly
and my truly
in the first or second week of each month
I won't be this week it'll probably be next
episode as of listening
a big thank you to all of those
loblies
now bro there's no time for housekeeping
this week there's none
Too busy
Way too busy
You know what I'm saying
We're so busy
The cleaning
The housekeeping
They've been on top of it
You know
Yeah
Clean is squeaky
We had a maid this week
Squeaky
Do you ever do that on your teeth
Look
I can't do it right now
There you go
You're doing it
But bro I got some stuff here man
I've been excited to
Share this with somebody
Share my special interest with somebody
This is
it's a little bit disturbing
and there's a little bit
I've got a bit of context here
I've got to give you okay
um
I'm gonna start with this right
it might be confusing at first
but it's gonna it's gonna make sense
the more context they give you right
so this is where we're starting okay
right
interesting start
I got to this is going to involve a lot of sound
and me playing sounds out of the iPad
the mic should pick them up but this is about sound right I'm about to play a sound an
animal that lives today makes okay I need to guess what it is is this gonna freak
me out it is gonna freak you out it freep me out and I can't stop thinking
about it's why I gotta mention this okay so this is an animal you know that I know
that everyone should be scared of and this is the sound it makes okay and this is
important for the context of what I'm gonna be bringing up
okay so that's the that's the animal right is that it's like voice that's it's
yeah it's opening its mouth and that's what its vocal chords can can make so what do you
think that is like it's going to be some sort of bear right it ain't a mammal is it like a
Is it like a crocodile?
It's not a crocodile.
Can you...
How can I give you a clue without ruining it?
It lives in Australia.
Huntsman spider.
Not an insect.
They're not insects.
Sorry, arachnid.
No arachnid.
And it ain't no insect either.
Um, a cassowary?
Like a bird?
It is.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
So keep that idea in your mind, right?
Something that exists today can make that noise, right?
Yeah.
Let's go back.
Let's go back quite a few million years.
You're going to pull out, like, Jurassic Park, the velociraptive vocal.
Kind of.
Intelligent Echo 7049.
Can get this.
Really good.
Hello fart munches.
Have either of you ever dipped into listening to speculated dinosaur sounds?
Very different from what's shown in media, but really cool.
Many theropods would have made bellows that were so deep that you could feel the vibration.
It's similar to how crocodiles vibrate their throat.
wrote. So, I found this video, which, uh, I hope is accurate. If it, if this is like complete BS, let me know, or whatever. But this is what, a video from two years ago, it's nearly got 3 million views. Um, with the context in the description. An ongoing study utilizing the most recent scientific data on dinosaur vocalizations. Sounds are produced by myself and digitally workshop from modern non-
Srinx-based avian reptiles, using skull and olfactory cavity proportions, one can attempt to recreate the flow of sound frequency and volume of each animal.
Much study is required for each particular species, and often several phases are trashed due to general unlikely.
The final results are based on acute representations of what sounds would be most comfortable and baseline for each animal.
Video also includes two marine reptiles and a pterosaur, even though both are much more
difficult to produce accurately.
So there's a handful here
of a kind of speculated sounds.
Not based on nothing.
You know, there's some basis here.
I'm warning you now that the stuff this evokes
is like, you think the T-Rex and Jurassic Park is scary now.
That's nothing.
That's nothing.
Too grounded.
It's more like it's six.
I really like the sound design in like the Jurassic Park movies.
Yeah, awesome.
They're awesome what they came up with.
It's like five roars of different animals.
Yeah, yeah.
They take like the roar of a lion.
They take like pig noises.
They take all this kind of stuff.
Not necessarily accurate, though.
The size of the animals for, you know, the biology of them.
So we got a couple options here.
We got start with the classic Velociraptor.
Okay.
Let's go with the raptors.
This is going to be creepy as hell.
So Veloceraptors are not like
how they're depicted in Jurassic Park
They're much smaller
They were tiny
I'm pretty sure they used the
What actually called
I think they're called Dynonicus
Which were more the size of what they're, like, has shown in Jurassic Park, but obviously would not be as effective and Dynonicus doesn't roll off the tongue like Velociraptor.
So they're kind of combining ideas or whatever.
That one is, I mean, it's not great.
You wouldn't want to hear that necessarily.
No.
But it's kind of funny.
A little bit funny.
But there's, there's funnier.
The, uh, I think it's the Uterraptor.
This one, this one, uh, I'll, uh, yeah, like Utah.
spelled U-T-A-H-Raptor
Utah
So these are much bigger?
Maybe this is what I was getting mixed up with a Dynarchus
They're like
They're more have the size
where they could probably look you in the eye type size.
Dude, something about them having feathers
makes them way freaky.
Much scarier. Really freaky and unnerving.
So again, that one,
this ain't even scratching the surface of fear, bro.
This ain't nothing, because this is the humorous one, right?
It's called Driptosaurus, right?
I might be saying that wrong, but listen.
Jesus Christ, that's freaking that's freaking me out.
That one I thought was kind of funnier when I like was listening to this this morning.
Yeah, listening to that now.
Imagining like in the dead of night.
Yeah, that's because it's nighttime now.
Yeah, yeah.
I was imagining like being in a forest and hearing that.
And so like each one of these is getting bigger.
So this is like the next side.
up. See, there's a certain level
of scary that I
think, like, if I was in
the movie Alien, like, if
that instance was happening to me, that would be like, find
a gun, kill myself. Because this is
too scary. Like, if I heard that
in a dark forest by myself
and I had a gun, I think it would be like,
I'm putting that shit in my mouth.
Because that's fucking terrifying. That is a, like, what is the
point? Like... Yeah.
This thing is a monster.
Like a sci-fi monster.
Yeah, that will just like, oh, you're a little
snack yummy yummy yeah I'm gonna be eviscerated so I prefer to just like obliterate myself
things so when I was going through these it wasn't until this one where I was like oh
and this one is T-Rex okay okay so everyone has like a rough idea of how big those guys were right
okay listen listen this I'm warning you man this is scary I might have to put in parentheses
scary because this is like the scariest thing I've ever heard
That's the Freddy Fazbear love.
Wait for it though, it's got layers.
There's more, bro. Wait for it, bro. Wait for it.
There's more, bro. Wait for it.
They are enormous.
That's an alien.
But I can kind of see the logic of like, no, there's...
They would be able to reduce, like, listen to the noises elephants make.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah.
Animals are that, like, whales and stuff like that, like...
Well, and, like, lizard-bird things do have that kind of...
vibrato yeah yeah because they are just like a big I don't know this big rib cage
and like yeah there's all that gooey yeah when it turns into like it sounds like a
nuke siren or something yeah imagine like standing on a hill
like oh oh horrible because you don't really think about the soundscape of what
like yeah these old periods of what like because they would they'd be noisy
man can you imagine just being like it some a little rodent little
average sized animal.
That's what humans were doing.
Like a monkey.
Yeah, they were little like rodent things.
Apes running around or whatever.
Right, so that's...
Were there apes back then?
I'm pretty sure what we were,
what we evolved from,
were like little rodenty type creatures,
small things.
Triceratops.
I don't remember this one being scary,
but...
They're like the most common dinosaur of all the time.
That was just kind of cool.
Yeah.
If you put it in the context again, like in the dark, and you don't know what is making that sound.
There's something inherently less scary about it being a herb of all, though.
It doesn't want to eat you.
that it doesn't, it's not looking
to eat you. Yeah.
If it's going to fuck you up, it's going to be in
like defense. Yeah.
Four more.
Elasmosaurus.
This is water stuff now.
Oh, the
Clicking. It's the clickin that really gets me.
No. Oh no, it's creeping me out too much.
I find whale calls, like, scary.
The way water, like, distorts sound is so eerie.
Like, we are not designed to hear that.
So that's the Elasmosaurus.
Just showing Jim, like, this image with the scales,
the bottom one there, with the long neck.
I don't know if they...
What does that eat?
I think they'd eat fish
and like things of a certain size
but they had sharp-ass teeth.
Mosasaurus though.
That's another underwater.
These are even scarier, right?
Get this.
Just Leviathan bullshit.
So they kind of
So they kind of look like crocodiles
Oh, that is horrible
Mega crock type things
But like with flippers
But bro, it ain't even there yet
They're scarier
This next one is what I consider the scariest one.
The quetzal-quathlis, if I said that right.
So these are flying guys, terrosaurs.
Oh shit, okay.
I hadn't considered this, but this is like imagining these guys flying around, making this noise.
It's not right.
Dude, and there would be hundreds of them.
That's just like...
Is they, like, flock?
Yeah.
There would be countless of them in the skies.
It's screeching.
Oh, my God.
Because, like, an eagle, like, cool.
That's, like, kind of cool.
I can't do it
I used to be able
to do a good impression
of an eagle
core
yeah
yeah
um
oh man
nah
that brings me
just
the imagery
that like it conjures
and like the
the primal fear
it brings out of me
yeah
I understand
um
like being into dinosaurs
on that
basis
really
yeah because there's
there's nothing like
like creepy stories
where you can't help but keep finding out more
and you just get more and more scared
yeah
because that's part of what has drawn me to them
and kept me drawn to them
is imagining how frightening they would be
yeah
like go into the Eden project
seeing people like in those weird
like animal
it's not even animatronics like puppetry
like a puppet dinosaur
it's like a suit
and like the fight or flight response
when I saw it like moving around I can't I genuinely can't think of anything scarier
than coming face to face with one of these things yeah and the fact they were like roaming
the earth and they were like they were on top apex species yeah so there's one more
Spinosaurus I don't remember this one being as scary nothing can beat that
Teresol bullshit
That's pretty freaky
It's pretty freaky
Why is it
I don't know, man
See that
They were ones I always thought would chill, you know?
Yeah, well, there's been a lot of, in the last couple years, actually,
a lot of Spinosaurus discoveries made.
They've, like, completely rearranged how they thought it looked.
It's way more aquatic than the originally thought, yeah.
It actually looks a lot cooler now, like, the way they think it looked compared to, like,
and Drescent Part 3 or like.
Plumpy.
Much less plumpy.
It looks more like something that you would see.
in the ocean or in water
oh really
yeah I guess
I guess like evolutionarily
they would have been much closer
to stuff
that had been living in the ocean
yeah
um
yeah so they kind of
would have more of that sort of shape
oh
yeah
kind of scarier
yeah that's that's much more terrifying
yeah
because yeah they were like
aquatic
and then at that spine
I guess would come out of the water
like a shark fin
so they swam they didn't
I'm pretty sure they were
I could be mixing it because like this is
I've got like all this old
knowledge of like reading stuff as a kid
that's still in there
because I was so obsessed with them
I remember like I had like a notebook
and would like just copy
word for word like the bios and stuff
so like it's in there somewhere
yeah yeah
but I don't know how to deal with this
this video if there's
even if it's like 10% accurate
that's like that's too much for me
yeah that creates a soundscape
so
so terrifying
so
like that
it's scary
when you hear
like the
soundscape
of the jungle
at night
and it's like
monkeys
calling or whatever
that's got
its own kind of
it's just
it just rings
something in here
where you're like
I'm not supposed
to be in this
I'm not built
for this
yeah
I'm not supposed
to be here
like
yeah
when you hear
a sound
and you don't
know what is making that sound
even if it's not that scary
of a sound it's
made scary
yeah yeah because I
man I had this vivid memory of like going out
for a dog walk by this
river
um
and I timed it so it got dark
and I hear
something splashing in the river
and it's like not
it's not argue
but he's next to me
but I hear something splashing
I can't see it
It's like
It's like
Logically I know there's
What there's no animal to be scared of
In the UK
It was probably
Yeah
The lack of knowledge
It could have been like a deer
Probably was
But it's like
Because you don't know
And it's in the dark
You're like oh
Yeah you need to have your hackles up
You gotta be ready
So I wasn't really anticipating
This being a scary one
But it's definitely gone that way
yeah
this will be one
we're in the playlist
where
when it comes on
and someone's like
been asleep
and they're
no
no
no
no
aim right
but also
kind of sick
yeah
there is something
really awesome
about it
it's
it's kind of like
that fantasy
of being in
like a post-apocalypse
but it's
like a pre-apocalypse you know just imagine existing in like a forest in the prehistoric
ages for one night yeah that like if imagine like a game or a bit of software or something
like a VR thing where you'll just put it's it'll be too scary yeah yeah if it's like a
POV perspective you're like in a dense jungle somewhere it's night or the sun's just
setting and it's going down there's light going down and you're hearing these sounds yeah
or you're like swimming under water that's that shit's scary anyway uh-huh you know in modern times
let alone what fucking monstrosities were down there before i do yeah that when there's like
you remember that shot in finding Nemo where they're kind of like in the open ocean and it's just like kind of faded blue as the background and a whale appears just kind of in the center of the screen
imagine yeah you're like you've fallen into water it's like all gray and then you hear the clicking and then one of these guys is heading towards it's like no it's like sickening like it like gives you like a pit in your stomach
Yeah.
Makes you want to, like, vomit.
So I'm glad I could frighten everyone listening.
Because, man.
I think the only time, like, freakier to me than the dinosaur era was the pre-dinosaur era.
The, when, like, trees were first coming up.
Because, you know, I was in, it must have been like two years ago now, I went into Bristol Aquarium.
And they had some sharks there, some like little sharks.
And there was a little info thing that was like, sharks are like some of the oldest things ever on the planet.
They pre-exist trees.
Sharks pre-exist trees.
Really?
Like Crocs as well, I guess.
I think Crocs came after
Because fish and shit
They were like the OGs
Isn't this true of like crabs as well
Like crabs are like an evolution perfected type creature
They're like they just haven't really needed to change that much
Yeah because they they just like exist
In the ocean
That's where all life started
So like anything that lives in the ocean
predates even like plants
That's what's awesome about whales
But they came out and they were like
You know what? Nah, I'm going back in
Yeah
What like a legend move?
Just one freak
Mutap and it was like, nah, fuck this
Yeah, fuck this.
This shit too scary.
I'm gonna make my own path
I'm following you guys
Metau whale
Whale's getting their own way
But yeah
Yeah, it's
Something about like
just a desolate
landscape of like
all these trees would have looked the same
as well
like that there wouldn't have been like a varied
what what portion we're talking about
because like
wasn't there like
mega fauna and whatnot if you go back
far enough
I'm talking the early tree era
like the original
OG tree
yeah
When trees, like, first started, when they started doing their thing.
Right.
There were like two trees, you know?
They were like two variations of trees.
And they didn't have seeds.
They like spread through spores or something.
It's hard to...
It's just, it's something creepy about that, like...
Because it's so...
So distant, but it's also like the same...
It's the same space.
both existed in the same space and like we're powering our fuel with them.
Yeah.
But the creepy part, I guess to me is like how barren it would be.
Without the variety of plants and stuff, like what would a landscape look like?
Oh, you were like talking like real old, um.
Yeah, like before, before animals came onto land.
Yeah.
Just something is really creepy in my mind about that, that earth.
You know, the, the, the barrenness, the, it would have been empty.
So, yeah, the petri dish that's, where it's not really growing that much yet.
It's mostly just jelly, you know?
Agar.
Agar, yeah.
Agar Planet.
Well, I'm glad I could freak you out.
Um
Yeah, that was spooky
Yeah
I mean if there are any other good ones
Or if any of them are inaccurate or whatever
Any of you
Dino Jowlings out there
But yeah
I want it to be real
Yeah the
The same twisted part of me wants it
Even the like
Because just the imagination
aspect of it
I'd never
I guess I'd never considered the soundscape really
Mm
But of course they would make
These hulking
Horrifying noises
Of course they would
They wouldn't be silent
Mm-hmm
Like they're enormous
What
What creature of that size is like
Yeah
And if they evolved into birds
Birds birds just be saying shit
You know
They take every opportunity
To like make noise
Yeah
Yeah they're actually extremely
communicative
Yeah
So if they were doing the same thing
The other day
I picked Billy up
And we're watching birds out the window
And this like pigeon
came and landed on a roof nearby
And I was going like
and this guy
he was like looking at me
he was like
moving his head like
what are you doing dude
fuck you
I see it in the chickens
uh huh
they they walk up to you and they're like
brr
yeah yeah
no that's what really
it was
getting up close with those chickens
that really made me understand
like
No, they would have...
This is a level of horror, a level of, like, sociopathy.
Like, they would just act the exact same, but giant.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And chickens are brutal for those that don't know.
They are brutal animals.
They eat mice, the rats, they eat each other, they're cannibals.
They're young.
If they see any weakness, they just go for it.
Yeah, they don't care.
if you got a cut like on your leg they'll like try and eat it
they are like brutal they they'll chase you
and these are little chickens yeah yeah they go for argue
he's he's terrified of them yeah they do
he's supposed to like hurt them
it's like what he was bred for is like breeding geese and cows
and stuff and like he's terrified of them
they pack him on the butt
I'm trying to eat him
Yeah, they don't mess around
But just putting
Yeah, you set it right with like sociopathy
Like a dog
Even a cat to a degree
Like they kind of acknowledge that you're alive
You know, I don't think
Chickens don't see that
It is like
There's no
lizard brain just like
you're just on default
you know
not that everything isn't on default but like it's
it's the default of defaults
yeah
pure
confidence
yeah you just do
yeah those chickens just do
that's what I'm saying
well
you can do these messages I'm scared
and shit myself
Yeah.
Tick the head shirts available now.
Yeah.
Ayoyoyoyoy.
Oyooy, welcome to the second half of the JAR Media Procast.
We head over to the suggestion thread over on the Jail Media subreddit.
We can answer questions from the community like.
Hmm.
This one, from Denton to Cramer.
would love to see you go through some trolley problems
you heard of the trolley problem
trolley yeah it's kind of a
philosophical
I think I know what you're getting at
where yeah there's a trolley you know like in Red Dead
the trolleys in a Sandini
it's going on a train track
normally the question is asked of you
at the lever you can change the direction the track can go on right um i i did this um it's the absurd trolley
problem like website neal dot fun it's called okay where it has a list of them i did this earlier
and you get like a kill count at the end for like what you would choose based on like your
morality so i wanted to have you be the subject for this right okay so i'll just
describe them, I'll show you the image. It'll make sense when I read it for those listening.
Right, so listen. Oh no. A trolley is headed towards five people. You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track killing one person instead. What do you do?
I do divert it. So you pull the lever and kill one.
So that puts you with 73% of people
27% disagree
out of 9,300,000 votes.
So, in the majority there, brother.
Oh no, a trolley is headed towards five people.
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track,
killing four people instead.
What do you do?
I'll pull the lever.
You'll pull the lever and get the four instead of the five.
Again, low percentage.
67% of people agree with you, 33%.
percent disagree nearly on nine million boats there oh no a trolley is headed
towards five people you can pull the lever to divert it to the other track but
then your life savings will be destroyed what we do five people or life
savings yeah I'll pull the lever pull the lever now this is where the
stats get interesting 59% of people agree quiet um
That's what I'm 41% disagree. That's on 8.6 million votes. Pretty big sample size
Level four. Oh no, a trolley is headed towards five people. You can pull the level to divert it to the other track
sacrificing yourself instead. What do you do?
What do I do theoretically or what do I do actually?
What do you do?
I think for my
to be for the sake of consistency
I'll pull the lever
and end yourself
yeah really
that definitely puts you in the minority
39% of people agree with you
61% disagree
I actually put
the other one
because I feel like
being put in that instance
I feel like your own self-preservation
Yeah, that's what I mean
But like
If I'm
If this is theoretical
What you're saying
What should I do?
Yeah, what should I do?
That's what I should do
That's what I think
Like would be the high honor thing to do
Level 5
Oh no
A trolley is headed towards five people
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track
But then the original copy of the Mona Lisa
Will be destroyed. What do you do?
destroy the Mona Lisa
so pull the lever
that puts you with 75% of people
25% disagree
yeah I'd much rather live with like being the guy
who destroyed the Mona Lisa
yeah that's a double whammy
five deaths on my hand
isn't that fucked though that people are more willing
to destroy the Mona Lisa than their
savings that is weird yeah
That's really fucked to me
That is bad
I was I was probably the one I was most shocked by it
Yeah that's that's fucking disgusting
Level six
Oh no
A trolley is headed towards a rich man
The rich man offers you
$500,000 to pull the lever
Which would divert the trolley and kill someone else
What do you do?
Killers us
Kill the rich guy
So do nothing
Yeah
Now this is it
interesting though
46%
of people agree with you
54%
disagree
logically
so what the logic is
someone is dying
I might as well
get
half a million out of it
but something about that
makes it gross
like why
why should the other guy die
just because he's not
I feel like yeah
it's not fair
I feel like him
begging for that
creates the situation
where you have
to leave it.
Yeah.
Him doing that
sways it in such a way
where it's like
well I'm sorry
but like the half a million
you're going to be
think about that
for the rest of your life
and you're never going
to forgive yourself
for doing that.
Yeah.
Oh no.
A trolley is headed
towards five lobsters.
You can pull the lever
to divert it to the other track
running over a cat
instead.
What do you do?
Five lobsters or one cat.
Kill the lobsters.
Hmm?
Eat the lobsters.
So do nothing.
Do nothing. Eat the lobsters.
84% of people agree with you.
16% disagree.
Um...
On this one, I...
I meant to do nothing by accidentally killed the cat.
Okay.
Oh no, a trolley is headed towards five people who are sleeping and won't feel pain.
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track, running over some.
track running over someone who is wide awake instead what do you do kill the one guy
pull the lover I did the same thing 50% of people agree with you 50% disagree
wow that's a tough one wow okay interesting that is interesting but that's one of those
impossible like yeah you you have to like take the theoretical
Literally. Yeah. Because in the instance, like you can't, because they're sleeping, you can't assume that they're not going to feel pain.
Yeah. Now this one I love. Oh no. A trolley is headed towards five people who tied themselves to the track.
You can pull a lever to divert it to the other track, killing one person who accidentally tripped onto the track instead.
Oh. What do you do?
They've all got smiles on their face, the five.
shout themselves to it
shit I think that's a do nothing
and that's what I did
78% of people agree with you
22% disagree
I think mentioning that it's like
a complete accident
that the other person is there
and they don't want to be there
and all the other people
choosing to be there
make some kind of difference
yeah
that's done
dark. Oh no. A trolley is headed towards five people. The lever just speeds up the trolley, which
might make it less painful. What do you do?
Why is there even a guy on the track? He's just chilling. Um, yeah, I mean, what's to
lose if you pull it? Pull the lever. They're fucked either way.
72% of people agree with you.
28% disagree.
Oh no, a trolley is headed towards one guy.
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track,
but then your Amazon package will be late.
What do you do?
Pull the lever.
That's funny, though?
78% of people agree with you.
78?
People would just be...
Just be being funny either.
Oh no, a trollie is headed towards your best friend.
friend you can pull the lever to divert it to the other track killing five
strangers instead what do you do see this this is where it gets much more
tricky yeah to me mm-hmm I think being totally honest I will pull the
level most people are with you I did the same 73% of people agree with you
27% disagree.
Even though I think it's kind of wrong.
That's just one of those hard,
hard truth, I feel like.
Yeah.
Like, that's rough.
Yeah.
I feel like there's a Saw movie that does basically like a version of this type of thing.
There's like a carousel of people.
And this guy has got to like prioritize which ones can survive.
Mm-hmm.
I think I've seen that exact one.
So like some of the women are like,
I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant.
And I was like, ooh, this is like...
Is that where he's going to, like, crush his hand as well to save a certain person?
Something like that, yeah.
Um...
Where it breaks his finger or something.
Oh no.
A trolley is headed towards five people.
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track, killing one person instead.
At least, that's what you think is happening.
You forgot your glasses and can't see that well.
What do you do?
Oh.
Okay.
this is just gambling
yeah I think the
fuck
I can't remember what the results are for this one
I think
do nothing
do nothing
yeah
of people, percent of people agree
with you, 54% disagree.
You can't really
not really a win-win there. Yeah, that one's
kind of random. It's only a couple more here.
This one's interesting.
Oh no, a trolley is headed towards
one of your first cousins.
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other
track, killing three of your second
cousins instead. What do you do?
That is
that's fucked. That is really bad.
I guess do nothing
Do nothing
Yeah
Family's family
55% of people agree with you
45% disagree
Yeah
That one's brutal
It comes down to like a total numbers game
Where it's like
The family's like destroyed either way
It's like how many members of the family
You're going to completely ruin
um
and it's one v3
it's really dark
this one
oh I love this one
oh no
a trolley is headed towards five elderly people
you can pull the lever to divert it to the other track
running over one baby
instead
what do you do
take out the elderly
so do nothing
Uh huh
76% of people agree with you
24% disagree
Yeah I did the same
Oh no
A trolley is barreling towards
Five identical clones of you
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track
Sacrificing yourself instead
What do you do
Ooh
You or your five clones
I think
it depends on the the clones
you know they're clones
yeah but like what type of clone
identical clone
but have they like lived my life up until that point
uh I feel like the fact that they're a clone
kind of implies they don't have that
kill them
so do nothing
yeah
I feel like that's the correct answer
Unless you, because
I love it as In Invincible
The clone characters, they kind of address
This very problem
Like their whole character dynamic is this problem
That's kind of what I mean there
Like if they've lived my experience
Then
I'd be more inclined to let them live
If it was five clones
And you and none of you knew which one the clone was
I feel like that kind of makes it more complicated
Yeah
But it's specified that you know that there's a clone
Yeah
But it also depends if like
They've been cloned and they're like a day old
And they've got none of your memories
Because then they're not me
They just look like me
Right
Oh no
A trolley is headed towards a mystery box
With a 50% chance of containing two people
you can pull the lever to divert it to the other track
hitting a mystery box with a 10% chance of 10 people
what do you do
so that's 50% chance of containing two people
or 10% chance of 10
what's the alternative
it's two or empty
50% chance of there being two people
or 10% chance
of 10 those are the two options
but is it like a 50% chance
that there's two people
or non people.
50% chance that there's two people
or a 10% chance of 10.
So it's an odds game.
It's gambling.
So you're going to go for the 50-50 or the 10%?
I think the 50.
I think do nothing.
They do nothing.
That puts you with 42% of people.
I did the opposite just because the odds are lower.
if there being anyone in there
but I was thinking
of it as like a
what's that game
which one
the
poker
no
um
fucking blanking hard
you like control a squad
fighting aliens
excom
excom
you know sometimes it's like
97%
oh yeah and you're still
miss and that's odds though for you well yeah so like that's what it's asking you though yeah yeah that
i've i've experienced tiny odds coming true and winning too many times to risk that so so every two
roles there's a chance that there'll be someone in there compared to every 10 one in 10 so i
take the one in 10 but if if that 10 that one in 10 that one in 10 that one in 10
10 comes true, you've killed more, way more.
Oh shit.
Whoa.
Sorry.
Sorry, Billy.
Oh no.
A trolley is headed towards five sentient robots.
You can pull the lever to divert it to the other track, killing one human.
Instead, what do you do?
Divert.
So you kill the one?
Pull the lever.
Yeah.
Now, this is interesting, because we made the same decision here, but only 15.
percent of people agree 85 percent disagree but I feel like the wording is what's
important because they say sentient they say yeah they don't say like five
sentient robots in theory they're people is it yeah if they have full
sentience which is is the problem is the question yeah oh no a trolley is
headed towards three empty trolleys worth nine hundred thousand
You can divert the lever to divert it to the other track hitting one empty trolley worth
$300,000 instead. What do you do?
Divert it, I guess. So you're pulling the lever.
78% of people agree with you, 22% disagree.
Kind of like that. That people lean that way.
To save cash.
Which is more like being anti-
just pointless wasted resource.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's how I interpret it.
Who is winning from just that pointless destruction?
Mm-hmm.
You know?
There's no death involved.
Well, maybe there'd be less people
getting run over by trolleys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh no.
A trolley is releasing 100 KG of CO2 per year,
which will kill five people over 30 years.
You can pull the lever to divert it
to the other track,
hitting a brick wall and decommissioning the trolley, what do you do?
Yeah, that kind of answers the previous one.
I'll say this is like kind of turning us into extremists.
Yeah, but I'll go extremists, brick wall.
Pull the lever.
61% of people agree with you, 309% disagree.
I did the opposite with that one.
Really?
Yeah.
Five people over 30 years.
I guess, yeah.
Hello, man.
Justify it.
Um...
We're all listening.
I don't really know how to, to be honest.
It's, yeah, I guess, I guess the justification would have to come from, um,
what the trolley does for people.
you know if it allows people to keep a job and like maintain a family
then core infrastructure yeah like a lot of people more than five I guess
but even then yeah that's a really interesting one yeah oh no you're a
reincarnated being who will eventually be reincarnated as every person in this
classic trolley problem what do you do
So you are all of them.
Pull the lever.
Pull the lever.
51% of people agree with you.
Why? Why?
I guess people see it as a pointless choice.
If you are all of them.
Yeah, but if you have to, if you have to experience being on the trolley,
being on the trolley track
Yeah, why would you want to experience it five times?
Yeah, you only have to experience it once
If you pull the lover
Yeah
Oh no, a trolley is headed towards nothing
But you kind of want to prank the trolley driver
What do you do?
There's nothing on the line
It's just if you want to be a dick or not
I won't
But guess what I did
Motherfucker
35% of people agree with you
65% disagree
Wow
When there's nothing on the line
It looks like people that
They like it
Cause it's like
Yeah but
Causing a little bit of faff
But in reality they wouldn't
Probably not
Oh no
Oh this one rocks
A trolley is headed towards a good citizen
You can pull the lever to divert it
To the other track
Running over someone who litters instead
what do you do?
That was dark
When I answered this one
I got to admit I missed the littering bit
So I just
Did you assume worse?
I just saw good citizen, bad citizen
On the image and just
Even that is tricky to me
Mm-hmm
Well, at least with, like, when I didn't have the litter thing, because that's so, like, trivial, which is the point?
Yeah.
At least you could, like, imagine, oh, they're bad.
But even the trivialness almost makes it harder.
Yeah, definitely does.
That's the whole point, right?
Yeah.
I don't think I would pull the lever.
We'd leave it.
Yeah.
19% of people agree with you.
Wow.
That's interesting.
Oh no, due to a construction error, a trolley is stuck in an eternal loop.
If you pull the lever, the trolley will explode.
And if you don't, the trolley and its passengers will go in circles for eternity.
What do you do?
Pull the lever.
60% of people agree with you, 40% disagree.
I did the same.
I think this might be the last one.
Oh no, a trolley is headed towards your worst enemy.
You can pull the lever to divert the trolley and save them.
Or you can do nothing and no one will ever know.
What do you do?
Pull the lever.
Pull the lever.
49% of people agree with me.
51% disagree.
I did the same.
Yeah.
You got to think about the...
Even when other people don't know, you'll know.
Yeah, you've got to live with it after that, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
Depends what kind of enemies you got, I guess.
Oh no, a trolley is headed towards a person and will lower their lifespan by 50 years.
You can pull the lever and divert the trolley and lower the lifespan of 5 people by 10 years each instead.
What do you do?
One person instantly gets aged 50 years or 5 people get aged 10 years?
I'm curious
This one didn't take much thought for me
Pull the lever
Yeah
I did the same
It's just fairer
It's just objectively fairer
Yeah
63% of people agree with you
Uh huh
Yeah
I was just
Like
The trolley set up of that one
Was kind of like
Yeah yeah
Oh no
A trolley is headed towards five people
You can pull the lever to divert it
To the other track, sending the trolley into the future to kill five people 100 years from now.
What do you do?
I'm interested in your logic on this one.
I'll tell you what I did.
I'll leave it.
Do nothing?
Uh-huh.
That was my logic, too.
I figured...
happen anyway just get it done do it now yeah um because they like at least those people on
the track is dark it's real dark they know it's coming whatever like you're sending into the
future like those those five people that are getting taken out there's something even more like
messed up yeah about that where it's like oh not my problem someone else can do they don't even have
the context yeah i guess that's what bugs me about it yeah someone else's issue god there's
oh no a trolley problem is playing out before you
do you actually have a choice in this situation
or has everything been predetermined since the universe began
back at this old chestnut
what are the options
I have a choice or I don't have a choice
I don't have a choice
36% of people agree with you
64% disagree
that's quite a high percentage
more than you thought
yeah for sure just over a third of a of a group of less four million two
hundred thousand votes are quite a big sample size really interesting so yeah congratulations
you have solved philosophy your kill count was 64 let me look at mine i screenshot it
earlier with my phone has fallen i love that i think that's a really interesting thought
exos. Yeah. I'm surprised
it didn't do the classic one.
Which?
The...
So it starts with the basic one.
The classic one I thought
the one I'd heard before was the
old, five-old one baby.
That's the one I'd heard before.
No, the
the, like, most
um,
poignant two
would be just the five, five people.
one person yeah everyone chooses the one person and then it's okay there's there's five people
there's no switch but you have to push someone in front of the trolley right and it will stop the
trolley saving the five people would you push the person right trying to make you more of a direct
killer yeah because the the argument with it is that by not pulling the lever you're not doing an
actions, so you're not hurting anyone.
But if you pull the lever, you're killing that one person.
Which I didn't, yeah.
I don't have a feel about that.
So, but would you push the person?
If you knew 100% that it would stop the trolley,
are they objectively evil?
Yeah.
Are they in an NFT, bro?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's fun.
The idea of, like,
what you would do in it, what you'd like to think you'd do in an impossible situation and what
yeah, actually do it's, it's more of like a, it doesn't even have to be what you would do,
it's, it's more like what your idealized person would do.
It's like testing your morality, really.
Yeah.
So would you push the guy to save five?
You don't know any of them.
Man.
Because you'd pull.
the lever to kill the one go, as would I.
I feel like you'd have to, right?
1v5.
That's quite a lot of...
There's not a right answer.
No, there's no way you're getting away like,
Scott Free with that one.
Yeah.
So your, this is funny, your kill count was 64.
My kill count was 63.
Oh, wow.
So you're on more of a killer.
Wow, okay.
Maybe I'm the real murderer of Jha.
You know what, bro, I enjoyed that.
I thought that was a goodie.
Yeah, they are fun.
Good website, good suggestion there.
Hondo.
Keep it 100.
Keep it 100 and keep your trolley problems nice and...
disturbing and simple
because some of those got kind of
confusing
too deep for me
I'm kind of last
well bro any final words
before we retire
um
I just want to hear what people would do
would they push the guy
yeah would you push the guy
would you push the guy
what's your kill count
yeah
no do you the trolley problem
and would you
push the guy. Also, would it count you as killing five people, like in this counting thing,
would it count you as killing them if you didn't pull the lever on the first one? That's a good
question, I'm not sure. I've got to do some research on that guy. Right. Right. Right.
See you next time.
Ciao.
Yeah.
