This happened to me irl as a kid. I said I liked frogs at a family event once and for the next 5 years I got frog themed presents.

Thanks, that's a cute frog.

Happened to my mom IRL too, way back before I was born, in like 1970 her sister gave her a set of three elephants that she displayed on a shelf by the front door. People coming over thought she liked elephants so people started gifting her elephants. By the time I was born she had a full fledged elephant collection, multiple shelves worth. I even added to it when I was a kid because I thought the same thing until she told me one day that she doesn't really have any type of interest in elephants, it was a collection that other people made for her.

I feel like this was a thing on The Good Place.

The doorman actually loved frogs

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

But didn't he get tired of frog tchotchkies after a while?

[–] LeninsOvaries@lemmy.cafe 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not when he got a real frog

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 5 days ago

Ohhh now I remember, he was so happy :)

That's awesome, though. Frogs are cool as fuck and presents are fantastic.

You search for azure front door like 3 times and next thing you know it's all Lowe's and home Depot ads for weeks. Why can't you give me ads for big tiddy goth mommies? I search that multiple times a day

My secret algo found Azure font for you!

hth!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago

I actually kinda like that

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Big tiddy goth mommies don't need to advertise, that's the difference

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 days ago

Better that than Azure (the cloud infrastructure) ads.

I was searching for Macho Man gifs the other day to send to friend. I made the mistake in doing it in Chrome and not in an incognito window. Now my algorithms serve up a constant stream of WWE content. Figure it'll take a couple weeks to go back to normal.

I made the mistake in doing it in chrome ~~and not in an incognito window~~

it looks like you accidentally left some unneccesary cruft on the sentence, ftfy

[–] tiramichu@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

Finally, some good fucking algorithm

[–] cymbal_king@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What's wrong with frogs?!

They've recently awoken from hibernation in my neighborhood and you can hear them at night. Frog season is great! 🐸

don't say that where the algorithm can read. you'll get sick of them so fast. the shapes and colors and tastes and smells of them.

This isn't a meme at all

It is literally just text. You didn't even need to bother with a white background.
