What this tool does
Type each option on its own line, press Pick one, and the tool cycles through your options with a slowing shuffle animation before landing on the winner. The yes/no button skips the list entirely and answers a binary question. Every option has an exactly equal chance.
How the pick works
The winner is drawn with crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic random generator. The animation is pure theater: options flash faster, then slower, building suspense, but the final pick is a single uniform random draw made at the end.
Worked example
Options: Pizza, Sushi, Burgers, Tacos. Each has a 25% chance. The animation cycles through the four, slows down, and lands on Sushi. Dinner is decided.
When randomness helps
Random picks are great for breaking ties, choosing restaurants, assigning chores, picking teams, or settling friendly debates. Psychologists note that a random decider also reveals your gut feeling: if you feel disappointed by the result, you already knew what you wanted.
Limitations
Every option is weighted equally; there is no way to mark a favorite as more likely. For decisions with real stakes, treat the result as a nudge, not a verdict.
