Or that your phone or computer will pic up audio from the TV through the mic and set ads to that.

An ad for a cock ring. I guess I wasn't using the incognito browser like I thought.

I don't know why but the ads on this site really want me to move to the Carribean to go to medical school.

Always nice when a cult has commercials. What happened with that dude was strange.

It's happened enough times to not be a coincidence.

I get a lot of ads for these very expensive spinning tops. They are made out of expensive metals like gold, silver, tungsten, damascus steel, black zirconium and such. They range in price all the way up to $195 for the tungsten.

Forever Spin

Its crazy how these random ads just pop up. Its crazy because sometimes I will google something and then the next thing you know there is an ad on this site for something in relation to what I googled. Its like Chicken is spying on me.

That's not the weird part. That's just how the ads work. They are based off of your web history. The weird part is how sometimes it seems like I mention something on the phone without actually searching for it, and it pops up in the ads. Or how somehow something that I looked at led the algorithms to think that I am in the market for very expensive spinning tops.

probably because I was looking at the Illinois single game offer.

Honestly the adds should be from your search history.
