Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

What would an Asimov-programmed robot do in a trolley problem situation? Any choice or non-choice would violate the First Law.
You might be interested in reading the book "I Robot" by Isaac Asimov, which is a collection of short stories examining different variations on this question. But spoiler alert the robot would choose the action that in it's own reasoning would cause the least injury to humans, and if it couldn't stop injury would probably damage it's positronic brain in the process.
Yeah I saw the Will Smith movie. Basically the same right? Probably.
The movie is completely different. Some of the themes and characters match, but the book is just a collection of short stories.
Speaking of books that start with "I" and were made into Will Smith movies that weren't really anything like the book at all, I am Legend is also worth a read.
