It'd be funny if it weren't so close to being true

Good grief… Not completely implausible. <LOL>
- Hello! Gordon's Pizza?
- No sir, it is Google Pizza.
- So, I have the wrong number?
- No sir, Google bought Gordon's Pizza.
- OK. Take my order please ..
- Well sir, you want the usual?
- The usual? How do you know me?
- According to your caller ID, the last 12 times, you ordered pizza with cheese, sausage, thick crust ...
- OK! OK! That's it.
- Sir, may I suggest to you this time ricotta cheese, arugula with sun-dried tomatoes?
- No, I hate vegetables.
- But your cholesterol is high!
- How do you know?
- Through the Lab subscriber's guide. We have the results of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
- Okay, but I want my regular pizza, I already take medicine.
- But sir, you have not taken your medicine regularly. Four months ago, you only purchased a box with 30 tablets at Drugsale Network.
- I bought more from another drugstore.
- It is not showing on your credit card.
- I paid in cash.
- But you did not withdraw that much cash according to your bank statement.
- I have other sources of cash.
- This is not showing on your last Income-Tax return, unless you got it from an undeclared source.
- WHAT THE HELL? Enough! I'm sick of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. I'm going to an Island without Wi-Fi or internet. Where there are no cell phones or satellites to spy on me.
- I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport, as it has expired 5 weeks ago!

You want to hear something creepy! When I boil eggs, I like to time how many minutes I keep them boiling so I can get them to be gooey yet solid just like they make them perfectly in ramen shops. So I ask Siri to set the timer for 4 minutes or something and I kid you not she responded with something like okay and some comment about boiling an egg!

I was speaking to my wife in front of my desk-top computer, which was in sleep mode that I needed to order mustache wax.

An hour later when I went online, the first ad was for wax and soon after that a coupon arrived in my inbox for my usual wax.

Big Brother is in the room. Scary to think. BTW I don't believe in coincidences.

Jeeeeeezz man, what were you thinking of mgray??!! Talking about mustache wax in front of your computer? Thought you guys were more aware than that!



It's frightening isn't it? Constant surveillance, Intel agencies must be doing back-flips with people actually paying for the likes of SIRI et al.

Mgray, I can confirm your experience. Has happened to me twice, once I was talking about travel to alaska, then saw ads for alaskan airlines. The second more recent experience, I was talking about a certain video game with friends ( I know, I know, grow up) and then saw an ad for it moments later.

I started putting tape over my computer camera and my iPhone camera years ago. But they sure as heck can still listen, for crying out loud.

Hers's a difference, my wife goes on amazon & gets one set of products that are all only on "prime" (using windows) I go on the same search & get totally different options & not on "prime" using ubuntu.....go figure (or rather windows is part of the matrix lol )
