r/randonauts

I have Randonauted exactly once, and the result was...relevant. I was driving around town with my dude, fooling around on the app. We had been joking about how broke we both were at the time and set the vague intention "GET MONEY." It gave us a coordinate near our apartment, but we were far away at the time and had some other things we needed to do first before heading home. We continued our errands and after a while we kind of just forgot about it.

We arrived back at our area and while parking the car I noticed an old woman struggling to push an even older man in a wheelchair up the sidewalk, which had a fairly steep incline. I asked them if they would like my assistance to push them up the hill and they accepted. They informed me that they were headed to the bank a few blocks up to use the ATM. Eventually we reached the destination, they thanked me for helping them, and we parted ways.

Later on that day, I remembered we were gonna do Randonautica, and went on the app to remind myself where we were supposed to go...and the destination pin is in the EXACT SPOT on the sidewalk where I had first encountered the elderly couple...who were on their way to GET MONEY from the ATM. It was pretty spot-on, considering that we had never actually specified WHO was going to get money when we stated our intention, but regardless that is what occurred!

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.
