I sometimes do and I did just a few minutes ago as I’m typing this. I decided 5 out of 7, whether or not I was going to go to a chinese buffet today. The coin decided 5-3, that I will. Then I wanted the coin to decide if I’m going thrifting today and with a landslide of 0-5, it didn’t want me to.
And do you stick to those choices?

I do this too.
For things I seemingly have no opinion about, I do it. If I follow through with it, I really did not care - if I don’t, I have learned in the process I actually have an opinion.

Yes! I do the exact same thing.
In group settings I always go for the dice and we assign numbers to what we will be doing as a group. It helps when we can’t decide what to do because we all want different things, such as where to go for dinner.
Since I rarely have coins handy, I use a clock (if I don’t know the current time, obviously): “If the minutes are odd, yes. Even? No.” (Eg. 2:53 = yes, :54 = no).
Coin flip? Amateur. You should roll a D20 for initiative.
They do say if when you flip a coin, you realise that you really want one side to win, pick that choice.*
I’ll ask people “Yes or no?” With no context.
Dice rolls. I let the number rocks decide my fate. All hail the probability cubes
No, never.
Last time was when we were children.
I do. If it’s heads I always tell the person to keep the coin. It’s thier lucky coin. But don’t put it in your pocket. It’ll get mixed in with all the other coins and become just another coin.
Which it is.
I usually use it to make small decisions where I want to do the comparatively bad thing but I know I should be doing the good thing. For example, I slept poorly and don’t want to bike to work. Flip a coin to see if I get to take the train instead. I always do 3/5 as well.
Nice question
For me, I always use “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe” to make some difficult decisions
Coin flip? Lol, silly humans thinking it’s actually random.
I use Quantum Random Number Generator btw.
I do sometimes use it to choose what to play/watch, although I use a random number generator. It’s more random than a coin toss and cuts to the chase when there’s more than 2 options.
