Mentioned to the wife a few weeks ago that I needed a new shaving kit. Never looked at one on my phone or talked about it after that. No ads popped up for any. Fast forward two weeks, I come home from a work trip and she has bought me an LL Bean kit. Never talked about the brand or anything, just a simple, "Thanks baby". After my phone had been in the vicinity of hers for about 10 minutes, I started getting adds for the EXACT model of shaving kit she bought me and they haven't stopped since.
Not only do our devices listen to us, but they talk to nearby devices too. It's creepy as hell.
Man and other animals were first vegetarians; then Noah and his sons were given permission to eat meat: “every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you” Genesis 9:3
"A man may not care for golf and still be human, but the man who does not like to see, hunt, photograph or otherwise outwit birds or animals is hardly normal. He is supercivilized, and I for one do not know how to deal with him." Aldo Leopold
