What terrible things is facebook advertising you today?

I don't know what the fuck a Peace of Mind and Free at Sea cruise is, not that I would be interested in a cruise anyway - do they test all passengers for COVID-19 daily and chuck the infected overboard?

 

[gentlegreen]

Perhaps cruises will shift to an 18-30 model. ...
In which case the health risks will take longer to emerge....

Probably the most bizarre one yet.

Apparently the algorithm has identified me as somebody who might be interested in fizzy water, but only if it is marketed in the most aggressively masculine way possible.

Just what I always wanted!

And today’s effort…

No idea. Some kind of robot dog?

It’s a laser level, made by Leica, no less.

Decent wiring centre. Connected loads of those. Their programmable room stats are also very good.

Aha! Sprung!!
You present yourself as some hod-carrying salt of the earth puffoon, but now we see that you understand… whatever that thing does.

And also the robot dog!

Leica as in Laika?

Leica as in Laika?

Yeah, Liker. The camera/lens people

 

[danski]

Used to use one of these until I upgraded to a Bosch laser. Reminds me of the guards in the Flash Gordon film

 

[8ball]

Yeah, Liker. The camera/lens people

Going to assume you know who Laika is. Well played, though.

More ridiculous woo woo for the worried well ...

Mine these days seems to consist exclusively of builders trying to flog me a new house in various places around the country.

 

[ouirdeaux]

A house that moves about? Go for it.

At 49, Facebook seems to have largely stopped trying to advertise anything to me apart from boner pills and hair loss treatments, though this T-shirt was an exception today. Could have been a lot worse, like "anti-Woke"

 

[ouirdeaux]

Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work.

Now it's an ad for a T-shirt with Nazi skinhead imagery

Meaning 1 looks a bit iffy but yeah, could have been worse.

My first impression of that is West Ham rather than nazis

 

[Poot]

I'm getting ads for the Society of Unborn Children. They obviously know me so well.

Also, there are these videos of women having hair cuts, and the women look worse afterwards and there's some ridiculous sob story in the captions while this is going on, 'I got sacked because I wasn't hot enough,' 'All the school moms felt sorry for me,' etc. Just nonsense. And I now realise it's for people with some sort of kink, isn't it? Ugh.

Yeah, crossed hammers are in other logos but with this being the logo of the Hammerskins - one of the biggest white supremacist skinhead groups - the hammers plus "Skinhead" in gothic font definitely looked Nazi-ish to me.
