I sometimes do and I did just a few minutes ago as I’m typing this. I decided 5 out of 7, whether or not I was going to go to a chinese buffet today. The coin decided 5-3, that I will. Then I wanted the coin to decide if I’m going thrifting today and with a landslide of 0-5, it didn’t want me to.

And do you stick to those choices?

    I do. If it’s heads I always tell the person to keep the coin. It’s thier lucky coin. But don’t put it in your pocket. It’ll get mixed in with all the other coins and become just another coin.

    Which it is.

      Yes! I do the exact same thing.

      In group settings I always go for the dice and we assign numbers to what we will be doing as a group. It helps when we can’t decide what to do because we all want different things, such as where to go for dinner.

    For things I seemingly have no opinion about, I do it. If I follow through with it, I really did not care - if I don’t, I have learned in the process I actually have an opinion.

    Coin flip? Lol, silly humans thinking it’s actually random.

    I use Quantum Random Number Generator btw.

    Yeah, if I’m really genuinely even on a choice and none of my standard tie-breakers apply. Following through is no issue, as I am legit torn, so have no strong preference.

    I do sometimes use it to choose what to play/watch, although I use a random number generator. It’s more random than a coin toss and cuts to the chase when there’s more than 2 options.

    Since I rarely have coins handy, I use a clock (if I don’t know the current time, obviously): “If the minutes are odd, yes. Even? No.” (Eg. 2:53 = yes, :54 = no).

    They do say if when you flip a coin, you realise that you really want one side to win, pick that choice.*
