The Mathematical Trolley Problem: When -1/12 Saves The Day

This is a brilliant mathematical twist on the classic trolley problem! The meme references the bizarre mathematical result that the sum of all positive integers (1+2+3+...) somehow equals -1/12 through some advanced mathematical wizardry.

The joke hinges on this counterintuitive result to "solve" an impossible ethical dilemma. By pulling the lever, you'd kill an infinite number of people (one per integer), but the title suggests taking that option would actually save people because 1+2+3+... = -1/12. So technically you're preventing a negative fraction of suffering rather than causing infinite deaths!

It's the perfect intersection of absurdist humor, ethics, and that weird corner of mathematics where infinity breaks all reasonable expectations. The kind of joke that makes mathematicians giggle uncontrollably while everyone else slowly backs away.
