And, if he'd lost the coin toss, he would have decided he should flip again, because that one didn't count.

... and then you conveniently forget what you've called for heads and tails.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The best way to make a decision you're "50/50" on. Flip a coin. If you're disappointed with the result, pick the other one, you wanted it more than 50.

I’m way to smart for this so I couldn’t believe it when my totally rational and super scientific mind fell for this and it’s worked over and over.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 month ago

Or just think “I meant heads I call them” and skip the second coin flip

Why is this man speaking in 3rd person?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

You're the only one here who can answer that.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 60 points 1 month ago

50% of the time he's right every time

Macarena, ay!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good to see people staying in touch with their family members

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

What are you doing, step-train?

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Until the end i was expecting him to text someone he's been in a long standing feud with over conservation of momentum

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

me too, why else would the op say, "Moving" like it mattered

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Haha physics

[–] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I assume because it makes the coin flipping part more absurd.

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

oh maybe absolutely not lives near transit stations so the man might make a detour and meet them

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even Harvey Dent needs some lovin now and again.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

He was texting Drew Barrymore?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There’s this girl at my job that is off the deep end and every part of my brain is screaming at me when I have to talk to her but there is that ONE part that always has to wonder “what if” lmao

Stay strong and get your freak on

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hahaha I should text my ex :x

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

My dead brain was doing the physics wondering about frames of reference and the speed of the coin. I figured it out. It will always land on heads.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 14 points 1 month ago

Okay, best three out of five.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

...is this meme the sign I needed?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, but as a warning NOT TO DO IT!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

But that's not what the man in the meme did. I'll just check in, really quick, just to say hi. It'll be fine. I can handle this.

[–] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wasn't there a movie about this?

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's the most you've ever lost on a coin toss?

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 2 points 1 month ago

The coin in question.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

the crazy ones get you there

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

Better than the other version of Russian Roulette.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Must be Tuesday.
