I’m watching a 20 year old episode of Top Chef, and someone says he’s going to prepare twice baked potatoes. Never heard of that, so I pull out my iPhone and planned to search “twice baked potatoes.” All I had to do was type most of the word “twice,” and Google suggests “twice baked potato.” Top suggestion. How did Google know that’s what I wanted to know about? Is that what’s suggested when you type twic into Google?

I was bitching about our senator John Tester to wifey , next thing I know Tester campaign ads start showing up.... so the answer to your question Hawk is the algorithms are listening through hour phone.... now when things get real and it's time to herd the maga people into the boxcars your phone will give you up!

I do think there's some spying on us via our phones and computers. However, I assure you that I have not even thought of twice Baked potatoes in a while prior to see this post. So I went to Google and typed in "twic" and "twice Baked potatoes" popped up. I'm guessing it's just a common search item.

I wondered if that might be the case, which is why I asked. Interesting. Thanks for trying it.

What apps do you have on your phone that have permission to use the microphone?

You shouldn't be using Google for search regardless....
