I was talking to my friend how much I’ve been craving lobster 2 days ago. They now have lobster at my grocery store - they haven’t had lobster in years. Last winter I was talking about how much I like goose over Turkey for Christmas dinner and suddenly they had frozen goose and they literally never had goose before.

Am I being targeted or am I paying more attention or am I just being paranoid?

If the bots are listening, bring back lamb. I’ll buy lamb chops.

    Most likely the change here is that you’re now noticing these items where you previously didn’t. This is a documented psychological effect.

    People often look at a car they like and suddenly see that same model of car all over. People didn’t suddenly buy those cars to drive around for you, this isn’t the Truman Show. You’re just noticing them where before you didn’t even register them as anything other than a backdrop, a random blade of grass.
