      If it’s there you pull it, not only because it’s fun, but I bet it makes a really satisfying clunk. And if it does I’d keep pulling it, again and again.

        Hand anyone (who knows how to use tools) a cordless drill

        Tell them “do the thing”

        Without fail, you will hear a quick “bzz-bzz” as they double-tap the trigger.

        It’s part of the unwritten rulebook of being human.

    I pull the lever to initiate the fabled multi-track drift.

    When done at the right time, pulling the lever can still derail the trolley

    This is my favorite version. I flip the switch so I know what if feels like, the tactile sensation. Then I go do my own thing and just chill.

    Does pulling the lever teach people the difference between “affect” and “effect”? I’m willing to pull it on the off chance that it does.

    The chaotic evil pulls the lever when the trolly is at the track interchange just to prove this premise wrong.

    I have the choice whether to offer a correction of “affect” to “effect”.
