Everyone who's done Philosophy 101 knows the Fat Conductor Dilemma. (It goes by different names but you probably know it.) It's actually interesting because it's not designed as some stupid trap to show you how stupid you are. It's just meant to get you thinking about Deontology vs Utilitarianism or the difference between being an active moral force vs a passive actor and the implications or whatever else you take from it. It's not, like Fat's question, just meant to be a trap to 'own the stupid conservatives' or point out contradictions.
This. I've heard it called the Trolley Problem. At first, I thought Fatrick stole that abortion gotcha from someone else, because he steals every idea he's ever expressed.
But now I think he had to have made that up himself, because it's just so stupid, like Fatrick. It shows he understand what the Trolley Problem is. He must have wracked his brain in community college trying to solve it.
Fatrick took it personal every time someone chose to drop the fat man.
“The question posed by Tomlinson,” as if he’s a substantial enough public figure to be referred to simply by his last name. The most formal name he deserves to be called is Patso.

Ive never done philosophy, but i have pushed a fat person onto the train tracks before to save some embryos

You chose wisely, child.

But what if the embryos grow into 2 even fatter fucks?

The odds of that happening are pretty slim.

A well reasoned response that’s void of derogatory slurs. Tub-tub would not see that coming
