If you want to really scare yourself about e.g. the extent to which tech companies are tracking you, try casually mentioning a brand name (nike, m&s, whatever) with your phone out and then watch what ads get shown to you over the next few days.

You can create a similar effect for yourself by saying "women in red dresses" in front of the phone or thinking very hard, but not verbalizing, a brand name in the presence of your phone, then watching how many women in red dresses / that brand name waltz into your life.

On the one hand, unconscious priming; on the other, browsing a very specific Finnish army surplus website on my phone to then see an advert for same on my partner's phone, on her Facebook feed. I don't have a Facebook account. She doesn't browse for camping stoves.
