What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

Commemorative silver dollars, that naturally cost a great deal more than a dollar each. They are actually produced by the US mint and are considered legal tender, but are only made in limited quantity and aren't in general circulation. If you really wanted to, you could use one of these coins (that costs $80 each) at its face value of $1 to pay for something, but I don't think that would be very economical.

it might be fun, though

i had a habit of paying with commemorative coins (which were to be had at face value - no silver!) to pay everywhere on the day of issue and wait for the cops to be called

A Crucial Thing that will help me "Stop The Biden Semi-Auto Ban"!
It has something to do with participating in an "NRA Survey"

I wonder if it is reference to the well-known NRA (National Road Association) Biden Semi-Truck/Automobile Initiative, for a Cleaner Earth?

Excellent!!!

The NRA can be a bit alarmist.

I've been getting ads for assorted R-rated greeting cards.

 

[Fantasy Lover]

Ladies underwear

 

[oberth]

Ladies underwear

i hope you have any reason to buy some

 

[Fantasy Lover]

Nope, I have sufficient underwear

 

[oberth]

Nope, I have sufficient underwear

so they did all that for nothing? poor guys!

 

[Oddish]

The sad thing is that, given the circumstances of my existence, I could wear ladies' underwear or men's or whatever. No one would care because no one would know.

The R-rated cards are still there, but since they're on Ebay they now came with a train horn, an astrolabe, an engine of some sort, a model for a Jaguar, some baseball cards, and a kid's swimsuit. Weird.

I was getting those too.

Class A house in Milan. Milan is kinda the last Italian city I’d ever choose to live, totally despise the place.

Mostly stuff from my browser history from the last week or two...

Clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue.
And a smiling blonde woman with absolutely no indication of what the ad is for.

Edit so I don't double-post: Two days later, it's Hello Kitty cups from Temu.

Some AI-related campaign for Milka candy bars, but in Georgian of all languages.

Clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue.

Got one of those too. Including a $12,000 cocktail dress. Given that I am single, cisgender, don't normally dress in drag, and don't remember paying more than $100 for any article of clothing in my 52 years of life, it shows that the matchmaking AI isn't as smart as it thinks it is.

 

[Fantasy Lover]

12 000$?! Is it made with gold? Because that would explain it

Some of the men's dress shirts are on clearance for $60 or so. I might get a couple myself. The ads continue to only show women's clothes, though.

Today I'm getting ads for a luxury condo building in my area, and an online marketing service.
