Things that freak you out (2 Viewers)

Google will use IP as a feature and know you and the wife are logging in from the same house.

OK so that would make sense.

Although I am the only one who doesn't care? I'm interested in a product, adverts then show me products I'm interested in? No difference to just Googling it yourself but you save about 4 seconds.

Otherwise constantly use private browsing, don't use social media and clear cookies and internet history every time you use a device. Or just shop on the High Street.

I love it. At least Google gives me ads for relevant stuff and has an almost psychic connection when I need to find stuff. What do we get from GCHQ who pull far more in for far more nefarious reasons? They could at least send us some coupons.

I can also choose not to use google or Facebook and they can’t touch me, or I can feed them false or edited info. The government pulls from everywhere whether I like it or not and won’t even pre fill my info on an application form.

They don't give a shit about 99.9% of us average Joes though!

They might learn that I buy loads of Adidas trainers and watch a bit of nugget porn! Whoopee doo!

Although does anyone else constantly get these ‘Bear Grylls career is over’ ads that seems to emanate from Vietnam? Or is it just me?

I honestly can’t work out what they’re even trying to sell never mind how I fall into that demographic.

Strange.

Alexa and other smart tech is 100% hackable, any phone can be a microphone. But there’s a difference between state actors committing espionage and Facebook trying to sell more ads to Chinese gadget makers.

Deja vu in moments where I’m certain I’ve dreamt them out before

Cue the comments.

I had a precognition dream. Unknown location in the dream. It all played out in a city I was visiting several weeks later.

I also dreamt about an aeroplane crashing a couple of miles away. Roughly the right area. Never heard of any before. Recently I Read that there was a mid air collision and 14 people died in the late 1940’s.

For me it will be a ‘scene’ that plays out many years afterwards. I dreamt 10 years ago about being in the house I now live in, but had never seen or visited at the time.

66.6 miles on the car's trip computer. I have to look away at 66.5 and wait a full minute before I look again.

Things that freak me out. I have a weird thing about the number 47. Went through a spell where it was everywhere I looked, wake up check the time, 03:47. Sat nav on to drive to a meeting, estimated time 47 mins. Fuck off 47

Any condition of the skin whether it's real or fake. E.g.

- that extremely rare condition which makes people look like trees. The images of that make me feel physically sick.

<snip>

I saw a documentary about a guy in Indonesia they called the bubble-wrap man. He has some extremely rare condition that resulted in bubble-wrap like tumors all over his body, face included.
Very few people in the world have ever had this rare condition and all the specialists were completely stumped over a way to alleviate it.
