Funny thing
The ads in the upper right corner of the forum always seem oddly specific to me (like for me it's usually stuff like camera gear, catfood, etc., stuff that I've recently done a search for or ordered)... but now I'm getting vasectomy ads??? Why in the world would I be getting vasectomy ads?

You don't know it yet, but soon you will need a vasectomy. The algorithm never fails.

An AI saw your internet history & doesn't want you to reproduce.

lol Funny, if not serious.
It's more likely whatever algorithms (or whatever it is) behind it can, via browsing and shopping habits of a user, more or less identify their gender and target some male or female specific ads even if it isn't related to their normal interests. After all, I've gotten ads sometimes on some sites for stereotypical woman things, like fashion and makeup, esp high end, when I really couldn't care less about that stuff, nor afford the expensive ones even if I did. Edit: Though if we're going to imagine it's political, I call dibs on calling them Conspiracy Cookies. |

T'were it me, my first instinct would be to ask my wife if she was using the laptop recently.
 Then I'd be like "You know I'd have to be involved in this whole thing, right? They don't just snip ya while you're sleeping, 'honey'. What're you tryin' ta pull?!"

I keep seeing the same ad about an estate realtor company asking if you'd like to change careers and go work for them.
Pretty random considering I'm neither looking to buy a new house nor have I ever worked in the estate business nor am I planning to. |

Mine is apparently trying to get me to go to Rome. I could get behind that.

I just do Brave (browser) and DuckDuckGo (search engine) on my phone. On my laptop, it's Incognito Mode time. A CCleaner sweep on both when I'm finished.
But yeah, most of the Technodrome ads were about dating sites that allowed me to have my pick of any foreign woman that I wanted. :p (Fun fact: it's just better to date locally.) Otherwise, this is a fun thread.
