I swear sometimes I just think about something and I get a fuckin facebook ad for it the next day

I'm not surprised by Facebook stalking your mentions, but WTF is that product? How is that a thing?

It's an egg. Or bum nut. Produced by chicken cloaca.

Geez my friends would look at me strangely if I brought either of those to a party.

i guess its good that the ads are coming up before you've bought the product? I got a little wood fired stove for my tent the other month and all i get served up are ads for tent stoves which i have already bought - sometimes its "ha, i paid way less than that" and other times i think its trolling me by showing me that i overpaid or could have got a cooler one if i'd done just that little bit more research or hung around for the purchase.

yeah, even more creepy when you realise your voice activated AI aid interactions start appearing with relevant ads in your feed. For me what is more annoying when its a family account so your feed fills up with recommendations based on choices of other family members (they have terrible taste, my taste is of course exquisite).
