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?

    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.

      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.

    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).

    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.

    I don’t think I’ve used a coin flip to decide anything in my life since my parents occasionally used one to decide something between my brother and I as kids (such as who would get first turn on something). Every time I thought to do a coin flip for decision making as a younger person, I’d find myself leaning toward and secretly hoping for one outcome and think to myself…this is dumb, let’s just do the one I’m already leaning toward. Now it’s not even something I consider doing when making decisions. I also go literally months, sometimes years, between touching coins now, so I’d have to ask Google to flip a coin for me or something.

    I use an app called chwazi to decide something between my two kids when they can’t agree on something

      chwazi is the ultimate parenting tool. I’m surprised that it doesn’t have wider renown.
