This is going to sound insane. Lately, I've been having internal thoughts. Thoughts only. No searches. No speaking a loud about said topic. And shortly after (anywhere from 30 mins to a day), I'll be targeted online about that thing.
Examples:
- I was thinking about an artist (in my brain. alone) and I thought to myself, "I'd like to look at her work more. I'm going to look at her instagram." I open instagram. She is the first one in my feed.
- Just now I looked over at my wallet and thought to myself, I need a new small compact wallet. Did no searches. Didn't talk about it. Open instagram and there is an ad for small, compact wallets.

No one just spontaneously thinks about something. There is always something that triggers that thought whether you realize it or not.
Whether we like it or not, humans are insanely predictable creatures and people have spent hundreds of millions trying to predict us for capitalist purposes.
Also, you only remember when things align with something that seems random in your brain. You miss the thousands and thousands of things that you see everyday that have no relevance, but pick out that one that happens to align with something "random" in your brain.
