My phone is listening to my conversations

Swear to god.
In the summer was at a music festival and there was a Gordon's gin tent. We had some conversation about Gordon's Gin and the next day on Twitter I'm getting ads for Gordon's gin
Yesterday I went for a check up at the dentist who went through the usual stuff about brushing and flossing to avoid bleeding gums. Today I'm getting adverts for corsadyl to prevent bleeding gums.
Has anyone else noticed ads that appear to have been targeted for you based on conversations you've had?

Has it morphed into a skinny one-egg omelette? If not, you're either paranoid or voted remain.
Oh! Didn't you know? One of the benefits of the EU - control, control, control. Not as "you are in", but "they are in". HTH

Your phone must have a high boredom threshold then.

Does your phone think you’re as big a cunt as we do
?

Now when you first hear it, this sounds like the sort of thing only a cunt would come out with.
Having heard similar stories numerous times, however, I read a couple of articles from reputable sources that gave the distinct impression that this was surprisingly easy to carry out and more than likely happening.
Thing is, I couldn't give a toss, but it does feel a little odd if we have indeed got to this point.

I like lentils.
Must be my Neandertal genes.
"Some Neandertals did cook and eat grains. Others relied on the starchy underground storage organs of plants like water lilies. They toasted pine nuts and lentils and ate dates"

Lentils are good chaps. Excellent in soup.

If it was a proper smartphone, it would be questioning your choice of gin
Right up until you failed to top it up, then it would understand

Shame I'll never get to taste them with freshly butchered mammoth.
There's a chance of trying them with cook from frozen mammoth, though.

It's probably been in the fridge too long

Just stalk and strangle an elephant. Use that.
How different can it taste? An elephant is basically a bald mammoth, and it's not like you'd eat a mammoth's fur.

Humans used to eat mammoth.
Elephants killed by ivory poachers are only rarely eaten.
I suspect there's a culinary reason

If I keep saying the phrase 'James Purefoy in the nude', is there a chance my phone will start pelting me with such photos?
I'm starting to see the benefit of our surveillance society...
