Most weird recommended purchase...

nothing so exciting, but generally whatever I have just bought. making me the most unlikely person to buy another.

currently being bombarded with SunGod ads.

but generally whatever I have just bought

Yep, Amazon's recommended books to buy only consists of books I have bought from them in the last year.

If I click on a link to a [i]Chest gun shot wound hole closure kit[/i] my recommendations are sure to change..!

Yep, I'm now getting a 4inch 8m tumble dryer vent hose (obvs.)
Great recommend, cept I don't got a tumble dryer.

Hopefully it will just offer you a 10" washing up bowl!

I don't know if it's some sort of algorithm fart or just random, but over on Facebook I keep getting Amazon adverts for things which look like sex toys but aren't.

I don't seem to have saved it, but there was also a fully body harness a little while ago.

I like the fact that Cougar's chain cleaner is unisex. I never considered my blue plastic park one is for blokes only due to the colour.

But only for adult chains.

I keep getting adverts (from Wish) for kinky latex body suits and butt plugs.
It makes me laugh cos it's a completely wasted advertising budget - I'm DEFINITELY not going to be buying them!!
Ha - who needs more than one eh!

DrP

I'm obviously quite naive as I can't think how a chain cleaner could be confused with a sex toy. And I don't want to know thank you.

I bought a rear door latch for Mk7 Transit.
Despite 'knowing' that I have a Transit it is now trying to sell me boot catches for Polos, Fiestas, Mondeos, etc, etc, it's obviously decided that I am a collector

Do these things not track what anyone using your IP address is looking at. So you might not have been looking at things but others in your household have?

So the wife has been researching guns and 'how to kill your husband' so Amazon now shows me ads for gun shot wound treatment kits?

It all makes sense, she has been in a particularly good mood recently!

Wish is a whole other firkin of frogs. The first time I ever went to that site (I'd agreed to some sort of Secret Santa thing) the front page offered me brass knuckles and something I can only describe as a f***ing machine.

I should be so lucky.

believe me, eventually you are going to need a bigger plug.

IP addresses are not that good at identifying people eg in an office / hall of residence all the occupants will share the same IP. Also, your ISP quite often moves IPs around between households eg when you're router reboots / gets an update you won't necessarily be allocated the same IP address. I paid a £5 with Plusnet for a fixed IP to stop that happening as it upsets VPNs which filter on source IP address.

Etsy recommended me this:

But maybe Aliexpress topped that with this fishing weight. I don't fish, but if I did, I probably wouldn't choose a weight that is a golden cock and balls with a massive hook piercing, ejaculating feathers.

More boringly, I searched for duratec engines the other night and now my FB marketplace is just nothing but engines. Hey you wanted that one specific engine that fits your car, you'll probably also be interested in this cummins truck engine, or this supercharged jag v8, or this antique industrial steam engine

That will be a lure rather than a weight. Not sure what you'd be trying to attract with it though.

Hah. Literally as we speak, Wayfair the furniture shop offered me these totally logical recommendations to enjoy the "great british summertime"

Is that a spider-man/big daddy gimp mask? Asking for a friend

Sadly you need an account to actually see the link, and I'mnot sure I want to sign up... I'm kind of tickled by the plug socket, too. "Enjoy the great british summertime, go down the park with a picnic, a bottle of pimms, and a 13A"

That will be a lure rather than a weight. Not sure what you’d be trying to attract with it though.

Something from a Saturday night out in Blackpool, I expect.

Chest gun shot wound hole closure kit, for both entry and exit wounds!

Yeah, we have to have something similar to these on trials, ballistic first aid kits and the first aider has to be ballistically trained as well, youtube will probably have a fair few videos of ballistic cavitation into gel blocks and the likes to show you what the difference is between this and being impaled or the likes!

And that sums up the argument for the defence m'lud.

Anything that'll bite.

A bloke at work had left himself logged in on Amazon on a shared computer. I was spare that day and very bored. I didn't much care for this fellow, to say the least but I did think he'd appreciate me doing some shopping on his behalf. With literally hours to kill I trawled the deepest, darkest depths of Amazon's virtual warehouse and filled his basket with over a million quids worth of stuff. OK, most of that was on some mad chandelier and I really wish I could remember the prices but it was years ago. There was all sorts in there, mind. Bulk bog rolls, Clam chowder, a douche, a copy of Mein Kampf, Pingu on VHS, an outboard motor, an "intimate massager", all sorts. I'd love to know how long it took for his recommendations to calm down.

Great for cleaning lube off stuff. I'd imagine. Commenting for a friend.

I don’t seem to have saved it, but there was also a fully body harness a little while ago.

Found it.

Found it.

That does look quite similar to a double body camera strap harness for Togs - although they're not normally in red patent leather....

That kind of reminds me of the steampunk skydiving rig UPT made a few years ago. I would not want to jump it, but it looked pretty cool.
