Decision Spinner
Flip a coin or add custom options and let the spinner decide. Useful for settling debates, breaking deadlocks, and outsourcing the blame for lunch choices.
If you are using a random decision tool, you probably already have a preference. The value is in confirming it.
There is a well-known trick: flip a coin and pay attention to your reaction when it lands. If you feel relieved, that was probably the right call. If you feel disappointed, it was not. The spinner works the same way. Randomness is useful not because it makes the right choice, but because it surfaces how you feel about the options.
Questions
Is the result truly random?
Yes. The result is selected using JavaScript's Math.random(), which is a pseudorandom number generator. It is random enough for any everyday decision. It is not suitable for cryptography or high-stakes lottery applications, but it will fairly decide whose turn it is to make tea.
How many custom options can I add?
Up to 10. Each option is equally weighted, so the spinner gives each one the same probability of being selected.
