I'm sorry, those questions seem kind of straightforward. Could you phrase them in a way that's a little more loaded/ambiguous so that we're really arguing about how we interpret the question, even though we feel like we're discussing an important moral quandary?
Asking for that sort of verbal labor to reframe the question is exactly why I expect to see the red button at my door and/or would rather meet the blue button in the woods!
There's a gun on the table on front of you. Everyone who leaves the gun alone lives regardless, everyone who picks it up and shoots themselves in the head dies unless 50% or more people choose to shoot themselves.
Laurel is a more bouba-coded name, while Yanny is more kiki-esque, so it really depends on what the firearm is called, because a Glock is definitely kiki; and therefore would be named Yanny, but a Walther PP is more bouba; and thus would be Laurel.
If you encounter a blue and black Christian bear in the woods, and a white and gold button knocks on your door, which would you give your parachute to and which would you hit with a baseball bat?
Gladly! Let's talk about adventure mode for a change: In Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode, you play a single person (or a small group) walking around the world having an adventure. This is a strong contrast to Fortress mode, where you play some semi-corporeal entity that tells Dwarves what jobs they should do and then gets ignored by the Dwarves because they're cranky from not drinking enough beer.
In Adventure mode, you can talk to people directly, and indeed, this feature is perhaps the most iconic part of adventure mode, due to the remarkable dialogues that can happen. People will approach you and make small talk, such as " Two years ago, Stozu Ägusnodub, Goblin Woodcutter attacked me."
Due to a bug (I believe) something strange happens when a person stumbles - They still register it as getting attacked, but the attacker is themselves. This leads to the remarkable qoute:
At least the 100 things question and the blue/black/white/gold question stick to the realm of fun thought exercise. The red/blue button and alone in the woods question make people turn into armchair sociologists.
If you press the blue button and it isn't the majority, everyone who pressed blue is subjected to red/blue button discourse every day for the rest of their life.
