Well, It happened again! / myLot

My cell phone read my mind. I was standing at the checkout line at the grocery store with my husband. I glanced over at the candy bar rack and saw Payday Candy Bars for sale. I thought to myself how I hadn't had one of those in a long time, but I won't buy one. I will wait until another time. I thought it. I did not say anything about it out loud. Then, a couple of days later, I get Payday Candy Bar Ads going through my Days on Instagram. Has this happened to you? It happened to my son too. It's spooky.

Yes, this has happened a few times . . . soooooooo bizarre, isn't it? Not only do "they" listen, but they are mind readers too

Who would have thought this when computers started becoming popular in the mid 90s.

All phones end up spying on people.

It is spooky but I'm also sure it's just the tip of the iceberg. There is really no knowing how much phones/computers are recording and relaying back to someone. I'm starting to sound paranoid now, aren't I?

It isn't really. Your phones and such are always listening and bots are everywhere. but, yeah, I could see how that might be spooky.

I can maybe understand when a person says what they want out loud, but to only think it?

Wow so cool. Your cellphone can really know your inner voice, or your desires. I've never experienced it. Hopefully someday my cellphone can also understand my wishes.

Omg this happens to me as well. I once thought about one direction and then on my ig explore there's a lot of 1D's videos (most of the time my ig explore is about BTS).
