๐ฑ Yes/No Decision Maker
Can't decide something simple, like whether to order ramen tonight? Click a button and get a random Yes or No. Switch to a three-way mode that includes "Maybe" too.
How to use
- Toggle "Include Maybe" as needed.
- Click "Ask" to get a random result.
How the calculation works
Press the button for a random โyesโ or โnoโ. Turn on โmaybeโ to choose from three answers. Each answer is equally likely (50% each with two, about 33.3% each with three). Randomness comes from the browserโs cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues). The last 10 answers are kept in the history. Use it as a playful nudge when you cannot make up your mind.
Worked example
โGo to the gym today?โ โ Yes โOrder dessert?โ โ No Three yeses in a row with two answers: (1/2)ยณ = 1/8 (12.5%) โMaybeโ with three answers: 1/3
Things to be aware of
- For important decisions, think them through yourself rather than relying on this.
- If the answer disappoints you, that feeling may be your real answer.
- To pick from several options, use the Random Picker.
