  • oh i know how this works and its not the way you think. Its somehow better and worse at the same time

    Im going to describe the process using a hypothetical situation:

    You decide to try a new shampoo but you're not sure what to buy. You ask your friend "hey what shampoo do you use" and they tell you they use Head and Shoulders.

    Later that night, you google head and shoulders and read reviews

    The next day, your friend gets Head and Shoulders ads on youtube and facebook and Instagram, etc

    This is because google knows both of your locations and search history. It sees that you two were within a few feet of each for hours and decides to shoot ads at you both, based on what either of you have searched recently.

    This is called proximity targetted advertising and i think its gross.

    But this is why so many people say things like "we were talking about it and now im seeing ads they must be spying on me"

  • Why does my treadmill want my email address?
    1. I am the only person in the entire country who knows and follows the rules for operating a vehicle.

    This is a constant source of frustration for me. Im on the spectrum and even though my logical, intelligent side of the brain understands that rules are just words; the emotional part of my brain just screams "THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS" every time someone hits their hazard lights and just gets out of their car in the middle of a 35mph road.

    1. Streaming services were better than cable for about 3 years somewhere between 2013 and 2019. Now there's too many, they're too expensive, and they shuffle their libraries around too much.

    I wanna watch key and peele. oops its not on the comedy central app? who owns comedy central....hmmm....paramount? okay its on paramount plus...and its just a link that takes me to Amazon video? why? just play the show what is this

  • Human vs machine
  • id happily play with you. my favorite franchise.

    The co-op is silent. no chat, no text. You communicate via animations and gestures

    you use an item to let people know youre interested in playing together, and if another player walks by the spot, they can see and interact with your "sign" and summon you to their game

  • Coca-Cola Taxes
  • don't be silly

    it'll get appealed and fought over and over until it's down to 600 million

    they'll pay back 300 and we wont hear anything else about it for years until someone mentions Clarence Thomas getting a new 300 million dollar golden calf statue around the same time

  • Why does my treadmill want my email address?
  • grocery stores trying to get me to sign up for their reward program or whatever

    Im surprised Aldi hasnt completely taken over the entire country by now because of how they skip all the bullshit

    its a grocery store. i walk in, i buy food, i leave

    could not be simpler.

    My local Kroger, however, has automated price cards that adjust to scalp their customers during high-traffic periods.

    this is a practice that should be rewarded via targetted arson of distribution centers until our demands are met

    oops autocorrect lmao

    i meant this is a practice that should be outlawed via legislation that follows our due processes
