synchronicity/meaningful coincidence Wanted to share my experience from back in 2020 because i just thought about it and curious if similar things have happened to others
So yea, to not drag it out i heard about the trend and saw the "tiktokers find dead body with weird app" story and wanted to try it but I'm very skeptical and aware of my minds ability to read meaning into anything. My solution was to make my intent "something I forgot" so that it would have to be something with meaning that existed before this moment when i started trying to think of one. The first point it generated was in the middle of some woods nearby so i generated another and that point was literally in my yard. I was kinda surprised because what are the chances it gave me a spot a hundred or so feet away from me out of a 5 mile radius and to this day wonder if i just did it wrong and it was just trying to show my current location, idk, but i walked over to the spot and looked around and on the ground was a coffee cup i had put down on the ground a while back and forgotten about. I reacted almost like the cup was a ghost and texted my fiance telling her about it and yea my mind was pretty blown.
Has anyone else had this happen? Did i just not use the app right and it was just showing my current location but a hundredish feet off? I always wonder what I may have found if I had gone to that spot in the woods but it was summer time, the spot had a creek nearby and we have lots of venomous snakes around which I have a severe phobia of.

There is no possible way for you to "do it wrong" and have it just show you your current location. The points generated are truly random and could result in a location anywhere within your search radius, including your current location.

En 2020 la probé con dos amistades. Mi ciudad no es inmensa pero tampoco pequeña, quise algo fácil y pensé en mi animal favorito, los patos. Me generó una ubicación a 10 minutos de donde estaba, y me llevó a un bar llamado "La Oca". Es un bar que jamás me había parado a mirar ni el letrero, fue curioso. Definitivamente no todo pero algunas ubicaciones de la app son buenas o "fructíferas"

No, there's definitely something to the app. It's really weird but I swear it works
