Has anyone tried just asking the trolley to stop?

Or stopped the person who keeps tying all these people to the trolley tracks?

Or trying to understand its innate desire to kill?

It has tasted blood, it's too late to reason with it

In these scenarios the trolly is too close to stop before running the victums over.

Although in this particular time, having the trolly stop would save an infinite number of lives compared to the casulaites, which would actually help it stop fatser as bodies do not make good railroad tracks [citation needed].

It is my understanding that the trolley just wants to go forward. It doesn't care whether it kills people or not.

Therefore, make the trolley go in circles.
