I did...inadvertently. This happened about 2 months ago. We were talking about vacation (phones were in another room) and said we were interested in a certain destination...that we've never searched before. When I got on my laptop, looking for something completely different, the suggested ads on the side had the specific destination we mentioned prior.

That was weird and eye-opening. However, I still don't get how I never said the drumset out loud and a few moments later the suggested ad was for the EXACT drumset.

This is worse than I thought. It is not simply what you say or point to....in this case it is mind reading.

I know you didn't say it but by feeling like you have to mention that means you believe it would make a difference if you did. This is why I asked if you thought your computer and phone listened to what you said

Were you looking at a magazine about motorcycles? If not, then your point isn't valid.
I was not looking at anything about motorcycles or Kawasaki or Falken, my point is valid.

ETA: I have an old British bike that I have never ridden, worked on or talk about. It's not at my house. It probably doesn't run now. Almost no one knows I own it, Mrs. Füt included. I've never bought parts for it or looked anything about it up on the Internet. It was too good a deal to not get. It's in a safe place. It is not the reason I'm getting those ads. Me seeing Falken and Kawasaki ads have nothing to do with that bike.

This is what the biotech company I am invested in does.

We know what the percentage is that you will look up certain things and when you look them up

Talking to the guys at work the other day about Office Space, I get home that evening look at Facebook and there is a sponsored ad for an Article "24 things you didn't know about the movie office space."

I never googled and it been years since I watched the movie. Creepy though.

Ok...I agree. Still, that is not what I'm talking about.

Had you told Mrs. Füt or someone that you were thinking of possibly selling it (without looking up motorcycles pricing or whatever) and then you saw motorcycle ads...we would be on the same page.

My kit is a combo, pearl export select (kit I've had since I was 17) and a DW performance. Also, I swear up and down on Zildjian Cymbals and Evans hydraulic heads.

Right on dude. I love Zildjian. Sabian is a close 2nd (probably because the owner is a Zildjian haha)
