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 6 months 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 11 points 6 months ago

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

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 60 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Why is this man speaking in 3rd person?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

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

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 60 points 6 months ago

50% of the time he's right every time

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 53 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Macarena, ay!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Good to see people staying in touch with their family members

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

What are you doing, step-train?

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months 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 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Ruthalas@infosec.pub 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

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

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Haha physics

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months 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

Even Harvey Dent needs some lovin now and again.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

He was texting Drew Barrymore?

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months 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 6 months ago

Okay, best three out of five.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

...is this meme the sign I needed?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but as a warning NOT TO DO IT!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months 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 6 months ago (2 children)

Wasn't there a movie about this?

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 28 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 2 points 6 months ago

The coin in question.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 5 points 6 months ago

Better than the other version of Russian Roulette.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

the crazy ones get you there

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Must be Tuesday.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

Was it the guy's job to move trains?

[–] Univ3rse@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 6 months ago

All I could think while reading is that this man has ventured too far into a stranger's personal space. I suppose that's why I'd never live somewhere like NY or LA, affordability aside. I don't want strangers that close to me constantly.
