My buddy in Denver bet me $50 that my phone wasn't really listening, so I tested it for a week
I talked about needing a travel humidor exactly once near my phone at brunch, and 2 days later my Instagram feed was nothing but cedar boxes, humidor pouches, and a $180 Spanish cedar case, so he venmo'd me the 50 bucks, and now I want to know if anyone else has run this test and gotten a random product that made zero sense for them.
Man, same thing happened to me with a pickleball paddle. Never played in my life, mentioned it one time to my brother in law, and boom, my feed was full of them for two weeks. What got me was how specific it was, not just "sports stuff" but that exact thing, made me feel like my phone was taking notes.
