I deactivated Facebook about 3 months ago but when I was blindly scrolling the inserted ads were ALWAYS for various kinds of body armor or plate carriers. I've never been interested in body armor.

I was getting that to. Tactical pants was one I saw a lot. But also an ad for tactical gloves and it was just a video of a dude punching out windshields for like 2 straight minutes. It was actually funny as poo poo I watched it a few times.

I only use my phone for making phone calls. My ipad though, it thinks I'm obsessed with horrifying true crime youtube videos, probably because of all the horrifying true crime youtube videos I watch. Also dungeons & dragons lore, and videos about foreign snack foods. Also My Name is Andong videos. Who would have thought that after the fall of communism in europe, the thing a lot of people would miss the most was the bologna? I do get a lot of ads for very expensive, mail order meat. I haven't bought meat through the mail in probably 5 years and it was reasonably priced hog jowl, and I only seem to get ads for $15 an ounce steaks.

Idk about Google, but Twitter on mobile thinks I like dating sims, and idk why. I have never clicked these ads, and don't have any on my phone.

There's a few I reported (lol) for being just porn.

I dunno, haven’t bought any in 5 years. Also I have a bad habit of clicking the buy button without looking at prices. It costs a little more than bacon at the grocery store, but it tastes about twice as bacony as bacon does.

these guys are expensive but very tasty, also they chill their shipments with dry ice, which is fun to play with. At least they did 5 years ago.

I misclicked an advert for school bags, and then that upgraded to bullet proof inserts for school bags. That was some mind boggling poo poo, they had names like "Second Chance" and "A Little Peace of Mind".

My friend was going to be a bridesmaid in someone's wedding and couldn't find a dress she liked so I tried googling to see if I could find something. That was three-odd months ago and I'm still getting ads for all kinds of wedding poo poo.

I also get a lot of Facebook ads for extremely goofy romance novels, but that's my own fault as I can't help clicking on the really funny sounding ones to read the full description.

I get these strange ads too sometimes, usually it seems to be when my VPN is acting up.

I use my Instagram pretty much to follow kitten fosterers and humor my friends. I clicked on one hair-styling video on my suggestions page, out of the dozens and dozen kittens that showed up, and now Instagram thinks I like old grey-haired lady cosmetics of all kinds.
