      Me: Buys a gaming PC

      Ads: Here’s a local pizza delivery service. Want to order?

      Fine, somewhat related at least.

      Today:

      Me: Buys a gaming PC

      Ads: what about this gaming PC? Or that one? Maybe this upgrade kit (worse specs than what I bought) is interesting? Like this PSU/CPU/RAM/graphics card/…? Hot gamer singles in your area want to…

      Ah, fuck Off!

        I once purchased floor mats for my specific car brand. Years ago. For months it tried selling me new floor mats for every brand of car in the world. I still occasionally get an email asking if I want floor mats for cars I’ve never owned. Like I’m the mat collector or some shit.
