Can someone post the other trolley problem memes?
I had a hard drive failure and I'm trying to rebuild my /sci/ folder.

I have a meme, but I'm not making an image.

The solution to the Trolley Problem is to run over the single person tied to the train tracks, and then back up and run over the second group because it eliminated six economically dependent individuals and doubled the time worked for the tram driver and increased his pay.

You pull the lever because you ought to have tried.

This isn't science. Take your Voodoo to /x/.

If at any point n becomes odd, or if n was initially odd, it just blows up to infinity, because 2n+1 is also odd, right? And unless the initial n is a power of 2, halving it over and over again will eventually reach an odd number that will also blow up to infinity, won't it? am i missing something here?

The image is wrong; for odd numbers it should be multiplied by 3, not 2. The Collatz conjecture is sometimes even referred to as the 3x+1 conjecture.
