The paper shows some significant evidence that human coin flips are not as fair as I would have expected (plus probably a bunch of people would agree with me). There’s always some probability that this happened by chance, but this is pretty low.

Of course, we should be able to build a really accurate coin flipping machine, but I never would have expected such a bias for human flippers.

This is why science is awesome and challenging your ideas is important.

Edit: hopefully this is not too wrong a place, but Lemmy is small, and I didn’t know where else I could share such an exciting finding.

      No! Bad treefrog.

      If it “feels like” something, you’re probably fooling yourself.

      Hard evidence. The easiest person to fool is yourself.

      Edit: people, please don’t down vote treefrog. They are learning, and I am joking.

      Be nice. This place is way toxic. I’m not sure how much more I can handle it.
