What is the most memorable/strange targeted AD you've gotten online? - eviltoast

Recently I keep seeing suggested/ads for things making fun of electric vehicles.

My favorite car I ever owned was a nissan leaf, and right now I have an electric scooter, so not sure what I did to get on list of “people who hate electric vehicles” and why that’s even a list.

    Oh my algorithm is FUCKED because I’m so insanely curious.

    So first of all I’m always googling stuff from medical procedures to culture and liguistics. That’s part of how I found out that apparently black Americans will sometimes get a nose job to confirm better to western beauty standards.

    Second of all, I will click on everything that I can’t identify, which often turn out to be kitchen implements or specialized hobby equipment. One time I clicked on some weird looking shoes, shortly followed by some bizarre looking amorphous plastic things which turned out to be special climbing shoes and screw-in footholds, respectively.

    So anyway, that’s the story of how Google adsense thinks I’m an African American woman who hates her nose but is also extremely passionate about indoor climbing (none of this is even remotely true).
