A single-panel comic. A red-bearded man sits in front of another person, only whose dark hair and shoulder are visible at the right edge of the frame. The other person asks: "Suppose you are about to accidentally kill five people. You have a choice to switch to one different person. What do you do?" The bearded man answers flatly: "Obviously the one person. Jesus, inbreeding will be enough of an issue as it is." A caption beneath reads: "Trolley problems got a lot easier once there were only 7 people left on earth." The joke: with humanity nearly extinct, the classic trolley dilemma is trivial because every surviving life matters for repopulation. Votey (aftercomic): a rough line drawing of a distressed face above hand-lettered text reading "WRONG! I'LL KILL YOU!"
