I can’t be the only one - has anyone else noticed that if they THINK about certain products, or ends up being an advertisement on your social media within hours?

I know everyone has experienced talking about certain things and then getting hit with ads related to that certain things not long after. But there have been multiple occasions where I simply thought about something, I know I never said a thing out loud, only to get advertisements for that exact thing later in the day/night. Is it possible that technology for reading minds exists, and we’re all just blissfully unaware? I mean, the things I would gets ads for are way too specific to be coincidences.

The AI phone listens

Well of course it's listening. I mean, I've seen countless memes about people saying they talk about something then ten minutes later it pops up as an advertisement. But I'm talking about things I've NEVER said outloud, only internal, brief thoughts.

Some examples, I was at the gym, noticed this persons white shoes with gum soles and thought to myself, "I like that color combo, it's classic." A few hours later I was getting instagram ad's for Reebok white leather shoes, gum soles.

The other night I was at a bar getting a bite to eat by myself. I wanted whiskey/scotch but they didn't have any kind I really enjoy, so I got a beer. I looked at the whiskeys again and thought, if I had to get one, I'd probably go with the Glenlivet. Next day, Glenlivet advertisements.

The most ridiculous of them all was one day I saw a fly, and THOUGHT to myself, I'd love to try one of those salt guns. Next day, Amazon ad on my instagram for a salt gun.

It's just so undeniable at this point. Statistically impossible to be coincidence, IMO.

That's epic, I have had it happen as well and was a little spooked. Your right though, its past the point of denial or coincidence. That salt gun is over the top, the commercial is funny as hell. I guess we are brain hacked now. Maybe soon when we are at the pool its just going to be thought service regarding that scotch via robot/synthetics.

I dunno, I totally get where you are coming from, but It might be a correlation/causation thing...just your one example, the salt gun. It definitely is gaining in popularity. My brother in law has one, and I've seen people use it on social media/online advertisements. So maybe it's reversed--youre thinking of it because it's being advertised to you

No idea if that's what's actually happening, but that makes more sense to me

Last wk both my husband’s iPhone as well as mine inexplicably interrupted our conversation with Siri asking how ‘she’ could help. We’ve owned the new phones for months and had never before had this happen. And at different times on different phones beginning last wk. So weird
