My kids told me about this last year. Here is something to try…. Put your phone on the table next to you and mention the same topic at least 10 times in conversation. Something like “We need to go to Hawaii” or “I want to buy a new house” or “it’s time to have another baby”. Etc. make sure you say it at least 10 times or more as part of a conversation then watch what ads you are shown are about over the next few days on every platform with ads. It’s not just facebook. It’s scary as hell once you notice this. There are no secrets even in your own home! Big brother is here!
I swear I’ve been just thinking about something without saying it out loud and I’ve had it pop up on my phone in the form of an ad….
I’m pretty sure that’s the algorithm aggregating commonalities in behavior/speech/searches/etc. and then predicting what your next step is. These fuckers are trying to think for us now, and what’s even creepier is that they’re usually right.
Yes! You don't even have to verbalize a thought. They freakin "read our minds".
This handshake wrote something specifically for Rachel Maddow to screenshot tomorrow. Sus.
But this way my tinfoil hat won’t work…..
Yes, it literally seems that they are able to read thoughts. The weird thing is it is often the most obscure thoughts that they target. Just the other day I thought about an actor I probably hadn’t thought of in ten years. Very obscure person. Opened YouTube probably an hour later and the third recommended video was for this actor. They’re not even trying to sell a product at this point. It’s more like the technology is looking for new bits of signal against the noise or something.
And yeah yeah I know, it’s all a coincidence. OK fine, that’s what we have to tell ourselves to stay sane for now and that’s cool. That’s how I write it off too. But it is definitely weird.
Alternatively, they could be influencing your subconscious thought without you realizing. Perhaps they showed you a brief image of the actor, or a role the actor had played in, or even something similar to that actor in some capacity in the days or hours leading up to your seemingly random thought. After they had planted the seed of this notion in your mind they recommend an answer to satiate your interest. Subliminal marketing. Create the desire in the customer and facilitate the end product.
I also consider a possibility like this, or even just tying it back to the collective unconscious. Perhaps there is something in the culture that is causing other people to think about this obscure actor, and others like me are the ones doing the searching, so when it gets pushed to me, it’s just the algorithm putting people into these groups. But I don’t think this is a marketing thing at this point. The actor had nothing to advertise. I think the algorithms were set up for advertising, but at this point they are just aggregating human thought. It’s definitely hard to believe they are actually reading our minds, although I do remember a podcast from probably ten years ago where they were bragging about a thermostat they invented that could read your thoughts and determine if you were too warm or too cold before you knew it and pre-adjust the settings to make you more comfortable. Although I would assume that was using some kind of heat signature and not actually reading thoughts.
I have had the idea that maybe they are injecting thoughts. Maybe some thoughts aren't your own.
I don't know how plausible that is, but I know they can read your mind with certain wave lengths that I don't really understand at its core. But somewhere I read about their trials with this. How everything is a wave length of sorts. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities that they have found the mechanics to some sort of telepathy.
Over the past few years I have noticed that randomly my left ear will start ringing for a few seconds. Sometimes it's barely noticeable and sometimes it's strong, almost feels like it's clogged. Then it goes away. Only once was it so strong that it started in the left ear and transferred over to the right and all I could feel was the ringing.
I don't know if I am just paranoid thinking it may be a nefarious outside source. But I have been with another person and it happened to both of us at the same time. Plus it's only ever at my house. It has always made me wonder if it is some sort of test or something.
Absolutely wild. I recall that whatever I was thinking of was obscure, as you said…That’s why it stood out as so odd/creepy to me when it popped up on my phone. Technology is totally outrageous!
Same!
same, i got an ad for a jeep wrangler cup holder after thinking about owning a jeep
jeeps (old jeeps) are awesome, highly recommend lol
That’s why I say into my phone “joe biden is a faggot” multiple times a day. Also “joe biden stole the election” and so on
This is the kind of joke I come here for.
HAHAHAH! This made me giggle. Thanks!
This is the way.
😂😂😂 My husband likes to yell, “Fu** Tim Cuck!” 😂😂
haha! here here 🍻
100% I was talking to my brother on the phone about proposing to my girlfriend and alas I have been bombarded with engagement ring ads.
About ten or so times my phone was on my nightstand and when I'd ask my wife what time it was, the phone replied telling me the time.
Is your wife’s name Siri?
Phones have very very good mics.
Back when I had Facebook, I went to my brother-in-law's house. When speaking with his wife, she mentioned a specific place they like to vacation. She only mentioned it once. I never searched for it, and I would have completely forgotten its name, had an ad for it not come up in my feed thirty minutes later on my ride home. That was the definitive moment that I knew it was always listening.
Even lately, I'll mention something out loud to my wife and she'll get an ad for it.
