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.

Pull the lever as the trolley passes the interchange

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

Pulling the lever almost every day, if you know what I mean

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

Yes. It gives me a sense of control.

I pull the lever to make the universe bend to my will, even for a moment

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.

Easy: I follow the main directive and don't interfere

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.

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

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