Did you chisel this post in stone and it miraculously made it's way here?

Ate a California pizza kitchen frozen pizza last night. After not Googling it or anything I get on Instagram, there's an ad for CPK frozen pizza.

They aren't listening to you if you looked up information on the vacation as you said.


That was put in there on purpose and the duration. To give the more expanded.

It has been 4 weeks since I looked up information on vacations. I have used facebook many times since then with no advertisements of this particular destination.

Wife comes into room I am in and begins to talk about completing Summer planning and revisits destination we talked about weeks ago. Open up facebook slightly after on laptop that is in room with us and boom advertisement for destination.

We have not done any research for destination on Facebook either.

Need to check with wife on other possible happening. If she on her device looked up the destination before coming to talk to me, facebook could have detected that and then applied it to my feed. Facebook does this as well, however the timing and usage do not align at this point for that to have happened.

It must not listen too well. Yesterday I was getting ads for safety equipment for my helipad. I certainly was not talking about that recently, or ever.

shite is creey as hell. I don't have Facebook and I see adverts, sometimes on this very fricking site, that are exactly what I was talking or texting about.

It scares the shite out of me.

The other day at work me and a guy were talking about a movie I had never heard of. When I used my phone a little later, the ad was for that movie

I used a family member's new chainsaw last weekend.

It was awesome.

However, I never did any Internet searches at all for chainsaws. I never texted anybody or talked to anybody on the phone about that chainsaw.

When I open my tablet that night, the first ad I see is for that specific chainsaw.




damn, just damn

I once repeated the words “golf cart” into my iphones microphone like 20 times to see what would happen. The next day, ads for people selling golf carts
