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?

    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.

    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 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.
