gollark: But the question just states it as fact and has "yes, torture fat person" and "no, no torturing fat person, you are awful and want the entire city to be explodinated".

gollark: I suppose you could argue that I don't believe it as a "matter of principle" thing, but from what I've heard torture is *not* actually a very effective way to get information.

gollark: For example, there's - on the "fat man" trolley problem question - a question about "do you believe torture is always wrong as a matter of principle" and then "bla bla bla nuclear device torture fat man or not".

gollark: I don't like this philosophyexperiments.com site, it seems to imply things.

gollark: I can make the antimemetics antimemetic such that nobody ever finds out.
