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

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days 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.

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

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 12 points 3 days ago

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

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

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 58 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why is this man speaking in 3rd person?

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

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 58 points 3 days ago

50% of the time he's right every time

:( don't shame me for my linguistic decisions

Macarena, ay!

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days 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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Good to see people staying in touch with their family members

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

What are you doing, step-train?

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Even Harvey Dent needs some lovin now and again.

He was texting Drew Barrymore?

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days 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 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

Haha physics

[–] Ruthalas 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] bluecat_OwO@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

...is this meme the sign I needed?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but as a warning NOT TO DO IT!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hahaha I should text my ex :x

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 14 points 3 days ago

Okay, best three out of five.

[–] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Wasn't there a movie about this?

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 2 points 3 days ago

The coin in question.

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

Must be Tuesday.

[–] edwardbear@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

the crazy ones get you there

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

Better than the other version of Russian Roulette.

Was it the guy's job to move trains?
