I bought a T.uf4.y locking trunk thing for my FJ Cruiser. Every now and then I search for it to show someone the image. For weeks afterwards I see that thing on tons of sites.
This happens because on average people who have done your search are profitable to target. They don’t know you bought it so they play the average
Probably all sites that have Google ads, since your probably searched using them
Cop just hooked me up with vehicle inspection that should have cost me $20 (ticket from Feb '20 finally coming due.)
Good thing she doesn’t know what my Sabo facemask signifies.

I started to touch on this in the Pets Of Unstuck thread but as that thread is more about the pictures the conversation didn’t take off. Essentially, all living creatures are way, way smarter than we previously thought. And it makes sense, right? Especially with this crowd with how it goes every time the topic of intelligence tests comes up (last time was about standardized knowledge tests which is distinctly different but still). It’s not that we can’t measure intelligence (I mean, that might be true, as in some unit G = general intelligence, but we’re not close to that point) it’s that we’re not smart enough to develop a good intelligence test.
Like when people wonder why dog owners talk to their dogs and say something like, “That’s dumb, the dog can’t understand you.” Settle down human, dogs can understand a few hundred words and super smart dogs can understand >1000 along with rudimentary grammar. We were just too dumb to figure that out for a long time.

And don’t get me started on corvids.
[citation needed] for that but the smartest crow, like, the Billy Sidis of crows, could get some questions correct on the MCAT ([citation needed] for this too maybe).

I have always been suspicious of most top 10 lists for most intelligent dogs. Human like emotions and behaviors way too overrated.
Hard for me to believe Aussies aren’t cracking the top 10 but they never do.

Wat. The FBI or somebody murders you when you’re actually pro-equality and not hey-white-people-stop-hogging-all-the-evil. Fred Hampton was murdered when he was still basically a kid but Jim Clyburn and those types will die rich old men.

Zikzak builds/renovates houses though so he’s saying follow that exact protocol.
I saw a video of someone playing fetch with a cow and now have a debate stewing in my brain over eating meat.

I like this part:
When he backed up, I held up my hand and said, “Stay,” in the clear, enthusiastic voice recommended by dog trainers. To the amazement of me and my neighbors, he did. (“I wonder if you could teach him to sit or lie down,” one of the neighbors asked.)
“To the amazement” lol settle the fuck down, you and your neighbors can speak a whole verbal language and you’re dumb as shit.
That’s not true, I read so in the last edition of Contrarian Weekly™.

Discourse does an auto thing with numbered lists. Microbet noticed it some time ago. I recommended Roman numerals, but it didn’t catch on.

10:35 on a lonely friday night.
Don’t worry I’m not actually lonely, but I was wondering why nobody else was posting so I checked the clock and it was 10:35ish, so those lyrics popped into my head.
I was about to ask if you real adults were on date nights with your husbands and wives or at an orgy or something.
