Googling a phone number that called me to try and figure out who it was instead of just answering it like an adult
I do this, and most of those numbers turn out to be from scammers. There's nothing wrong with doing this.
I can't get through a 3 paragraph work email but I'll watch a 7 minute video of a puppy with the hiccups
Great mysteries of our time: I said something out loud 3 days ago and now I'm seeing ads for it on Facebook
We had this exact conversation at work today! Believe me, it happens, and it's creepy! We decided we must have a friendly office ghost searching the internet for stuff (adapter cables in this instance...)
Nope, it's just Google listening to our conversations. My mom injured her knee and got a knee brace, and a bit after talking about it got a phone call mentioning that her knee brace was medically approved.

I was cynical of this until about 4 months ago this happened. Never searched for it. Still kind of hinky feeling about it. Dang.
This happened to me . Yesterday I was talking about Fancy Feast cat food on the phone and since then, I have seen 4 ads for it on FB
Yep. This week I mentioned out loud the Vermont Country Store in a work meeting. An hour later, there was a Facebook ad for the Vermont Country Store. I had NEVER seen one in me Facebook feed before, nor had I typed it anywhere online for 4 or 5 years.

Heard this conspiracy theory! Apple phones or Echos are recording everything we say.
But they are, or they would not "know when to wake up"

This reminds me of a funny incident: my parents were talking about something Greek and then my mother started getting ads for trips to Greece. She thought maybe her computer could hear what we were saying, so we started saying, "Banana rollerskates" to test it, but got nothing.
I think it's because no one is paying for ads for banana rollerskates. But talk about buying a new car a few times, then watch those ads change!

Sometimes I'll chat with my brother about a youtube channel/video he likes and then hours later it will show up in my feed...it's happened twice now, extremely creepy.
This one is absolutely true!! I'm a recovering alcoholic, I don't Google it a lot but I certainly talk about it a fair bit and I have endless ads about quitting drinking and stuff. Big Brother is always watching you!
Kept thinking I was gonna have to call 911 and a few days later I did. Kept thinking I was gonna see a house fire and it f*****g happened a few days later. Gonna go see if I can make money appear
it does, actually ... money is everywhere, just expand the vision ... it works for me every time ... blessings

Can SIRI be involved? He responds at the strangest moments anyway. Or am I just being paranoid.
I just checked the settings of every app I have. In EVERY single one I had to switch off Siri - even though I have Siri turned off entirely anyways.

Terry Pratchett is awesome! I only started reading the series a couple of months back. On the 16th book (I'm reading them in order)

this has happened! we were outside, and we started talking about cars. five seconds later, a car dealership ad popped up. and another time, my moms phone was sitting in the window, and we were talking about nature. suddenly, her Bixby opened and gave us search results for nature, when we didnt even open bixby. Creepy!
I had it happen almost instantaneously. I had my phone in my pocket when I mentioned to my son that I needed to buy a new crutch (I'm disabled). I then opened my laptop and logged onto Facebook and the first sidebar ad was for the exact model of crutch that I have bought in the past.
Ah... yes. The eternal question : "Are "they" really listening to "us"?!" :D
My husband ask me for a number on our printer...the I phone answered the question before I typed it in. Scary.

So they let you have a pen and a toothbrush, but not shoelaces? Weird, seems to me that if someone wanted to sharpen the toothbrush on the non brush end they could injure themselves with the toothbrush or the pen.
I think you could benefit from following your own advice, TJler.
