This I could totally believe!

YES. i have soooo many jeans, but their front pockets are either fake or have the size of a quarter full of room. smh

Definitely. Same goes for universal healthcare, the US government's first priority is the military; the people who elected them come second. They could use 50% of the military's budget to be the first country to completely eradicate homelessness and drastically improve quality of life for all of us AND still have the almost powerful military in the world but no.

I do legit belive in this, for example i was talking with a gf about matracess, and look at that, add on facebook suddenly become an ad for matracess... And no, i didnt google it

This is not a conspiracy theory.

Anyone remember the lady who made the news because her period calendar believed she was pregnant? Her period was late but even she didn't notice, until she started receiving ads for baby products.

I thought this was common knowledge. Are people actually surprised a device that is made to listen to you...listens? (And yes, they have to listen to you constantly, even when “off” otherwise they wouldn’t know when to turn “on”).

100% this is true. Then people like me buy that data to send you tailored ads and make sales

I turned off the microphone permissions on the majority of my apps that didn't use it directly and so many of these coincidences stopped. It was interesting just how many apps used it too.

It happened to me too, and not just once

They do listen. I had a discussion/talk with a friend a while back - must be 2019 because it was before quarantine. We even went to a "study room" in a library so we could talk alone because it was going to be about heavy sh--. My friend (who knows way more about psychology than I ever have) spoke to me about some theories/reasoning etc. NONE of this was ever searched on a comp or spoken of/texted over the phone/through messenger, etc. Next day - in my "pocket articles"... an article came up about the **EXACT** psych theories my friend had spoken about.

One night as we lay in bed, I told my husband I'd buy him a new pillow. The next morning, there was a pillow from one of my wish lists sitting in my Amazon cart. Not listening my a**e.

Simple remedy: get off Facebook, Twitter and all the other social media where you show us your private life up to the detail of when you last visited the bathroom including a full report on the color, dimensions and estimated weight of your turd, with a picture to prove it.

We joked about my SIL's blur tooth hearing aid listening to us. Had a conversation in the car with her about "funky looking socks". Yup, had ads for "funky looking socks pop up online. Also my nephews hoverboard started playing the conversation taking place on my neighbors front porch.

I told my husband that I like the garden tub in the house we are staying at and that I want one in our house. I didn't google anything, just talked about it and now I'm getting flooded from every direction about garden tubs. Random coincidence?

This is actually not a conspiracy. Watch "The Social Dilemma."

I thought everyone knew this... there all listening to you...

I made a comment about a health issue I had in high school in a comment section and a few weeks later I was shown an ad for a treatment program for that same issue. It’s not even a very common health issue.

Odds are, somebody is watching you, but I assure you, you aren’t nearly important enough for it to be the government.

i once mentioned to my boyfriend that they sell materials for sushi in the store next to us and since then my facebook is BOMBARDED with sushi!!! every 3rd post is an ad of a sushi place.... i thought it was a coinsicence till i told my brother and he held my phone to his mouth and said " laptop" 10 times and half of the adds changed from sushi to laptops........ that's creepy

Same here, I talked with a friend on discord, about some video (chicken cooked with ton of butter) and facebook showed him the video few hours later. Happens all the time...

Same thing happens to me a lot. I don't have Google assistant or voice search set up. I'm just used to it now, however when I merely THINK of something and it pops up somewhere it gives me an existential crisis.

This is why I don't have listening devices like Alexa. I leave my phone in the other room when I'm home, too.

Mine has never given me ads or google searches after having a conversation. When I google something then ads will pop up related to google searches or just ads for apps on my phone.

Was it literally coming up after "I" or was it "Is ch..." as that makes a world of difference to an algorithm.  Did it offer a lot of suggestions or just the frozen chicken one alone?  I think it was because a LOT of people have asked the same question.  We often underestimate how unoriginal we are. :)

Totally true!!!! Even when i say i have a headache the Internet recommends me painkillers!!! Sometimes i feel it even knows what I'm thinking which is creepy and crazy ok i know!!

Have a look at this video, maybe then you'll realise how what is true and what not. Nicely explained. → www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYW7gr7lIXI&t

Shane Dawson even did a video on this so it's not surprising (￣o￣) . z Z

I once texted my sister in law about a certain product- didn’t mention product out loud- and my entire household started seeing ads for said product. As for the call waiting. I don’t see how that’s possible. Our company has a key system that has a timed recording only when certain wait times are predicted by the algorithm.

This is true for some countries. Britain, Australia, Scotland have prosecuted people with the wrong opinions on social media. China is a few steps ahead, using social media to "ferret" out nonconformists and their friends. They also track Uighurs this way.

That's why I refuse to show my face unless I'm in cosplay on the internet somehow I'm to shy to put my cosplay on and take a couple photos

Definitely. Which is why whenever anyone questions the government they get branded as conspiracy theorists, placing them at the same level as flat earth believers or something else ridiculous.

This makes sense. The only reason Area 51 came to light was because of the Roswell Incident. Otherwise it would have maintained it's secrecy. Area 51 is so notorious now that there is no way the military would have anything covert going on there other than normal military operations.

How is that a conspiracy theory when it's already been proven??

Yh i watched that show v interesting stuff in there

That's a conspiracy theory? It is well known.

It's not a conspiracy theory. The recommended dosage for detergent is more than enough to be effective. There are a lot of factors that can affect the performance, so they can't recommend a lower amount because if it didn't work, everyone would think it was crap. They need something that covers everyone. The added advantage is that people tend to use more. The sensible thing to do is to adjust your dosage to factor in the soilage, water quality and your machines performance. Most people can drop the dosage quite considerably.

A few museums actually place their most expensive items in a secure vault and only display replicas to the public. However, according to all information available, the original Mona Lisa is on display.

No, that's... pretty much accurate. US conspiracy theories tend to be either straight up 'they're putting brain slug spores in the vaccines to mind-control us' or 'stuff the government admitted to doing, but quietly'.

I think they just count the 0 and delay the countdown itself as well

wait...what??

When it took place? I never haered about this but i'm form Europe

How is this a conspiracy? They are already using the DNA collected to solve 'cold case' murders. I don't know about this company specifically, but all it would take is a warrant for them to have to share their data.

This sounds like a 3.00 AM thought

Makes sense, the US did experiment on its own civilians before.

Or places like vacuum stores or fan stores that only sell one type of thing in a small town. If there is no way they could possibly get enough business to make it; it is suspicious.

Depends on the formula. Cheap chapstick = bad time

Anti-dandruff shampoo is only for people with an oily scalp. If you have dandruff caused bydry, scalp this shampoo will only make it worse. Then you need a mild shampoo tgat will moisturize your scalp.
