What can your Alexa hear?

[nevernotstruggling]

Whoever monitors mine must be bored out of their mind...all it hears is me shouting at the dog and meal times. Except the dds ask it to sing and fart sometimes. And tell jokes. All she gets from me is 'Alexa put kitchen roll on the shopping list....'

I went on the recordings recently, so boring. 99% of the time I was asking the time.

It only records when you activate it. So even more boring.

I forgot I ask it the time about 70 times a day!

Mine would be blushing. I haven't seen my partner since March due to Covid and we've been heavy some very explicit conversations lol

I love this 😍

Mine would be "switch the kettle on", followed by "put the kettle on", followed by "switch the fucking kettle on!" It always works first time for dh, 50/50 when it's me, and it's my bloody Alexa!

Fuck all, she appears to be deaf half the time. Getting her to respond to the simplest request is quite a feat.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, ours ignores me half the time. It'll activate when I say Alexa but then ignore what I actually ask it to do.

Alexa, set a timer for -
Alexa, stop. Al- ALEXA STOP

Mine usually gets me repeating “Alexa set the heat to 22 degrees” and DP coming in later and saying “Alexa turn off the heat.”

Getting her to understand what I’m blathering on about is usually a feat, I have a Welsh accent 😂

Mine seems to be going deaf recently. It may be because my toddler has put her sticky fingers all over it. Or maybe because she’s an old model and a bit slow now.

Alexa is a bit spooky. If you go to your Amazon checkout it sometimes recommends stuff based on your conversations. So far I’ve had towels, batteries and Nintendo Switch games recommended to me. I think the towel convo was me yelling ‘why do we never have any fucking towels?’ so now she’s trying to flog me some new ones.

"Alexa, set an alarm for 7am tomorrow."

Then, at 6:45 the next morning when I'm awake and want to get up... "Alexa, cancel today's alarm!"

Or if I don't cancel the alarm...
"Alexa, stop.... Alexa? ALEXA, STOP! ALEXA! ALEXAAAAAA!"

I have a chronic pain condition and repeatedly say throughout the day to my partner or just to myself "my legs hurt"... This activates her! I usually end up shouting at her "I wasn't talking to you" and the light goes off.
Although the one in our dining room you have to shout Alexa at least 5 times an inch away from her before she lights up and even then she does something different to what is asked, the older one in the bedroom lights up immediately and works perfectly.

If anyone has been listening in on our conversations I'm sure I'd have known about it by now, so I'm not worried.

Mine can "Alexa play jingle bells for kids please" "she heard me" "alexa louder" "alexa.turn up" "alexa louder" "Alexa louder" my 3 year old

Mine will be ‘set a ten minute timer’ getting more and more irate as she never seems to hear me first time.

Me: Alexa, landing light 50%
Alexa : Landing Light was
Me: Alexa, stop
Alexa: an Irish-bred
Me: Alexa, stop
Alexa: Thoroughbred racehorse
Me: ALEXA, STOP!!!

She hears many requests for songs

@bearlyactive this is my life.

Timers. Endless timers for screen time, cooking and various reminders.

Then mostly music requests.

There is only one in the teen boys room
So god not knows what she hears 😳

'Alexa do a big fart'
I have two DSes. This is the height of comedy to them

Alexa shuffle [insert name] playlist.
Alexa set reminder
Alexa shut up
Alexa volume up/down
She also has been known to tell me random facts when I'm muttering to myself or my cat.

All mine hears all day from the four year old not at nursery is ALEXA PLAY JA JA DING DONG! He wanted Mariah Carey for a bit over Christmas but he’s gone back to Ja Ja Ding Dong now.

If anything I’ve posted on this site is going to out me, it’ll be this 😂

Ja ja ding dong!!! That's hilarious and I loved that film 😂😂

Me: Alexa play the wheels on the bus
Alexa: Playing the wheels on the bus by some random
THE WHEELS ON THE BUS plays at approximately 1 million decibels
Me: Alexa turn down 4. Alexa. ALEXA. ALEXAAAAAAAAAA Stands up and turns down manually
