chick stuff.
A while back mom ordered stuff and somehow had it delivered with prime shipping cuz my account had Prime, but she ordered it under her account.
still not sure how that works.
Anyway, now I got little old lady crap being recommended. I do not like it.

You probably shared prime with her.

There's a place where you can click "this was a gift" and/or "don't use this for recommendations".

Women's clothing and makeup because I ordered some things recently for valentine's day for my wife.

I suppose that's not absurd if you think about it. I guess Amazon is trying to suggest other gifts I could buy her.

I don't even look at the homepage half the time, because usually I'm searching for something. Looking at it now, it's right on.

I never look at the homepage. Pretty much always !a $item from my searchbar.

Weirdest one is a renewed Donkey Kong country SNES cart, pretty sure the only related thing I've bought is some switch games and some USB SNES clone controllers a few years back.

At least you don't get drugs in the cartridge.

On a different forum someone posted about a prank where someone glued a 3 foot long dildo to the floor. Then someone else asks where do you find a 3 foot long dildo, which brings a response to the item on Amazon, with a link.

Click the link, and now Amazon remembers you searched for a 3 foot dildo :oops:
