What is the Random Picker?

A random picker selects one or more items at random from a list you paste in.

How the Random Picker works

It shuffles or samples your entries uniformly, so every item is equally likely to be chosen.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Requesting more unique picks than items in the list.
  • Leaving blank lines that get treated as entries.
  • Expecting cryptographic fairness for high-stakes draws.

Keywords: random, picker, winner, raffle.

Output is pseudo-random and fine for casual use - not for security, cryptography or gambling-critical purposes.

I built a free pregnancy due date calculator that works instantly in the browser — no signup, no ads in your face
Body
Hey r/[subreddit],

I kept needing a quick pregnancy due date calculator and most options online were slow or behind paywalls, so I built one that:

• Runs 100% in your browser (your data never leaves your device)
• No signup, no email wall, no popups
• Loads in under a second on mobile

It covers the standard pregnancy due date use cases (pregnancy, due, date, baby) and links out to the formula + worked examples if you want to learn the math.
