So, our phones are definitely listening to us.

The tire pressure sensor on my car was going a little haywire. I talked about it in my car with my kids and then took it to the dealership to make sure that's what it was. An hour later I get a pop up ad on FB for a mobile air compressor to fix flats. This shit happens all the time. I'm done believing it's a coincidence.

So, now I just give the middle finger in the air to the satellites, so big brother knows what I think about his schemes. You don't want to get on my bad side.

You can change your Siri settings so that she's not listening...

I have pressure-tested this theory and find it be categorically false.

For as much porn as I watch on my phone, I have yet to have a porn star (dressed as a sexy cop) knock on my door.

True, and my Siri is a dude.

I saw a comedian recently who started randomly yelling stuff like "double sided butt vibrator; extra large" during his show. He kept getting raunchier with the descriptions. After he did that for a while he said something like "Oooh your guy's phones are going to be suggesting some interesting products after this".

While I won't rule out that your phone is listening to you, most of that stuff is based on your phone does know your location and it knows why you were there (particularly if you paid for a service). Then Google/Apple has an algorithm as for the most likely reason you were there and funnels you ads that way.

I mean, I've had a popup add show up on my screen when I wasn't focused on my computer screen and then I started seeing tons of the same types of ads in other places. It's amazing how fast that occurs.

I'm just letting you know that I'm out there doing something about it. How many fingers have you given satellites today? Yeah...that's what I thought.

 

[beanerhawk]

Of course your phone is listening to you if you haven't changed the settings. This is coming from someone that doesn't know anything about technology and I even know that.

A few weeks ago, I was sitting on my neighbors patio having coffee with them when I remembered out loud that my grandson had a soccer game that morning. Within 30 seconds my map app sent me a notification on how far away the soccer field was. CSB.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

What else is big brother finding out about you?

 

[OrlandNole]

I opened this thread and soon after got a pop up ad for Summer's Eve.

My wife and I have had these experiences too. Something we would just randomly talk about one night without us ever mentioning it on the internet, searching for it, or anything and the next morning we have ads for it.

You think it’s because of all the douches on here or all the pussies?

Yes, but you did order those self-applicating anal beads after receiving several targeted adds didn’t you?

Welcome to 2011? 🤷‍♂️

 

[auntie_fah]

no shit, OP
Me and my no pic girlfriend decided to talk about some random thing neither of us would be interested (in this case denim clothing with disney characters on it) and kept an eye on when we would see targeted ads. Took about 15 mins before we started seeing ads. This was about 4-5 years ago

Way to keep it to yourself, dick.

I 100% agree they are listening. I've had many examples myself.

Modern humans are tracked and under surveillance almost all the time, IMO.

Our calls, texts and internet usage are tracked by cell phone companies.

As soon as we leave the house, we're usually seen by cameras from homes and in stores, etc , etc.

CSB.

I like it when Alexa listens. It seems like she cares......about my sad pathetic life.

Was that installed with my C-19 shot?

I don't know about you but after i got my shot i noticed that whenever I hanker for a beer while watching football, ads pop up automatically.
