The coolest new quarantine internet trend is called randonauting. The randonaut app uses a random number generator to pick coordinates of a location near the randonauter and tells them to set an intention for the location. Sometimes this leads to the randonauter finding interesting or scary coincidences at the coordinates that relate to the intention the user has chosen.
Here are some of the best ones found on the “randonauts” subreddit.
1. “My intent was to get direction in my current search for a new job. I was sent to a pond, and at the exact spot, I saw a black turtle. I think the symbolism here was ‘slow and steady wins the race.’ As an impatient person, that really spoke to me!”
2. “Our intention was ‘something out of the ordinary.’ It took us to the middle of a forest and right when we got to the point a huge plane flew over us. I love this.”

3. “My intention was ‘scary.’ It took me to the middle of nowhere on a dirt road. I then pulled up to this old abandoned mansion where ‘religious retreats’ apparently happen.”

7. “I set my intent to ‘something positive’ and it sent me to this infinity-shaped fallen tree.”

8. “It was my first time Randonauting. I wasn’t taking it too seriously, so I just manifested seeing something ‘red’ and the coordinates led me here, to this. So yeah, I really can’t explain this one. Insane experience.”
