Should I? — random Yes/No for everyday decisions
One-tap Yes/No/Maybe for casual "should I" questions — should I text them, should I go out, should I order pizza or cook. Lifestyle and social decisions only. The verdict is weighted (45% Yes, 45% No, 10% Maybe), deliberately decisive but with a Maybe for genuinely borderline calls. "Should I" / "should I text him" / "should I go" all land here. It's 9pm and you're stuck on whether to go to the gym tonight. Tap Tell Me. The verdict shows in under a second. Use your gut reaction to the verdict, not the verdict itself — if "No" lands and you feel relieved, that tells you what you actually wanted. If "No" lands and you feel let down, go anyway. Either way, the question is closed. Lifestyle decisions only. Plinkr is not for medical, financial, legal, or safety questions where research beats randomness. "Should I take this medication" or "should I sign the contract" are the wrong fit — go to a doctor or a lawyer. "Should I order from the new place" or "should I take the long way home" are the right fit. No tracking on the question; the tool never knows what you asked.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use this for serious decisions like jobs, relationships, or money?
No — the verdict is for casual everyday questions, not life decisions. Anything where doing real research, talking to someone, or sleeping on it would help, do that instead. The tool fits decisions where the gut reaction to the verdict matters more than the verdict itself, and where the cost of either answer is low.
Why is Maybe only 10% — what's the reasoning behind the weighting?
The 45/45/10 weighting is deliberately decisive. Most "should I" questions are binary in practice; a 33/33/33 split would dump too many Maybes onto questions that benefit from a definite verdict. Maybe stays as a 10% escape valve for the genuinely borderline case where the picker truly cannot land on Yes or No.
Is my question stored anywhere — does Plinkr know what I asked?
No. The question is never typed into Plinkr at all — you think the question, then tap Tell Me. The tool only generates a Yes/No/Maybe verdict; it has no input field, no log, no record of what you were deciding. Whatever you were thinking about stays entirely with you.
How is this different from a coin flip for the same decision?
Coin flip is binary 50/50. This is weighted Yes/No/Maybe (45/45/10) — deliberately decisive, but with a Maybe for borderline cases. For a true "either of these is fine, just pick" decision, coin-flip is simpler. For a "should I do X or not" question where the verdict format matters, this tool fits better.
