I was on minoxidil a few years ago and even though I got some results after a very short period I had to stop it because it can be really harmful for dogs and my dog usually sneaks into my bed at night and sleeps on my pillow. Didn't want anything bad to happen to him. So now my only option might be wigs.

 

And I hope I don't see any wig ads after posting this

I've heard there's oral minoxidil (pills) and people have very good results with it if you're not worried about body hair. It wouldn't be harmful for your dog :heart:

 

Wig ads sound fun though, cmon party city do your best! :heart2:

Honey, they know everything

But a lot of it is bias and tracking down your internet history / use

 

The one thing that really creeped me out was getting ads for things I thought about. Didn't say it out loud, didn't ask Siri, didn't search for it online. Literally just thought about it & stated getting ads about it (oddly specific brand & type of electric guitar strings, for example, and I didn't even buy the guitar online, nor ever posted pics with it, it was a gift). 

not much tbh. it only ever changes based on things i search. like there are many hobbies, media franchises and artists etc that i never come across even though i actively partake in them. i think it helps that i rarely send messages or chat to people irl either, it was super creepy last year when i was talking about a real estate agent at work then got a mobile ad with her name and face on it.

it's gotten to a point that when i even think of a product it pops up on my algorithm and i'm not even joking

I reset mine every so often so it doesn't feel stagnant all the time
