Oh man. The trolley problem is a thought experiment. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking it and changing it into another thought experiment that’s loosely based on the original. Who’s going to stop you? The thought police?
Also don’t forget we’re in a memes channel. You’re taking this way too seriously.
I understand you’re making a point, but it’s not a good one. Yes, you can create a thought experiment where the trolley can be teleported into another dimension. Is that a worthwhile thought experiment? Probably not. But that doesn’t mean that creating variations of established thought experiments is inherently invalid.

Just making a point. It’s not much of an experiment if you can make it whatever you want. At that point… it’s easily solvable.
“Just teleport the trolly into another dimension.”
Done. Solved. No dilemma.

It’s no more worthwhile than this meme
The response to the dilemma doesn’t get to create the constraints though? Only the dilemma itself gets to set the rules.
