Ok, octonauts, help me decide which I wear today, based only on the name: Dzing! or Suave Petals?

@SuzanEraslan

(let ((scents '(:suave-petals :dzing)))
(nth (random (length scents)) scents))
=> :SUAVE-PETALS

The random number generator has spoken.

@emdeesee You know, I assumed everyone would go with the zippy sounding one with the exclamation mark, so I'm surprised everyone (but @CountZero) went with Suave Petals, instead, but I never thought you'd manipulate a random number generator to do it.

@SuzanEraslan Isn't that how everybody makes this kind of decision? 🤓

I do this for myself pretty often, or at least when I have a set of alternatives, and I imagine I'm indifferent to the outcome. I often learn I wasn't really indifferent when the random process chooses "incorrectly".

Either way, I'm looking forward to the .
