The other day I while I was waiting for someone, I thought to myself, I'm starting to get hungry. As I finished that thought I got a GrubHub notification on my phone that asked, did someone say hungry? Forget about our phones listening to us. Apparently they're also mind readers!

I had a phone call with my dad about weighted blankets. I’ve never spoken, searched or really anything about those before. Got on reddit. The 1st thing on my feed was from the creator of the original weighted blanket...pic.twitter.com/LpTJrPmg2s
