B) The train transfers momentum to the things that pass through the portal. If it wouldn't, the portal couldn't exist since you need a certain amount of energy to displace the air on the other end.

Dont they need to be hovering mid air for either to happen? I am trying to imagine how would a moving portal teleport a person laying down without teleporting the ground beneath him. I think neither a or b would happen, I think they would be draggen on the ground and splattered, but if I HAVE to choose, I say A is more likely. Because they are laying and not hovering I dont think they will be launched.

This platform deserves a community solely dedicated to trolley memes.

Thank you!

Truthfully it was pretty low effort to make, but I appreciate it anyways.

Can someone put this in a lambda function for me so I can kill myself trying to figure it out?

This reminds me of when somebody set up the Trolley Problem for their toddler with those little wooden toy trains. The kid put the one guy on the track with the several guys and then plowed through all of them with glee.

B.

Speedy thing goes in. Speedy thing comes out.

Although it kind of depends how fast the tram is going.

I love this comment section. Perfect balance of people actually trying to discuss and people getting pissy because their answer can be the only right one.

I don't know shit but when I try and picture it happening in my head I can only see A being correct, think Doctor Strange portals. When he moves a portal the person comes out stationary
