What Amazon REALLY thinks of you

I've just read a hilarious Threads about this.

Go to your amazon account > shopping preferences > scroll down > about you.

Mine is fairly tame "has a cat" "travels regularly" "regularly purchases skincare" etc but some of the screenshots on threads were fantastic -

"Has flat buttocks:
"Likes to buy hats for their dog"
"Had a relationship with La Toya Jackson"
"Has no friends"

What does your amazon think of you??

That’s quite fun

i “systematically collect complete book series”, “game across multiple platforms”, and one of my departments is “coffee consumption”

Little microcosm of life. It identified my pets pretty well too and I don’t do too much shopping for them on there

These seem to be user editable which might account for the more interesting screenshots that you saw. Mine are all exceptionally dull and are essentially a summary of what purchases I have made, as you'd expect.

I am not astounded that Amazon has, for example, concluded that I have a child that needs orthodontic treatment, given that I have been buying specialist toothpaste and brushes for over a year!

Interested in this thread?

My hobbies are actively keeping chickens and my friends and family are chickens too! Hilarious. No mention of my kids, husband or step kids and grandchildren 🤣

Mine doesn’t have anything and I use Amazon a lot to my shame.

Some of mine are ‘maintains ongoing craft supply inventory’ ‘plays video games occasionally’ (I’ve never played video games lol) ‘gradually building fragrance collection’ ‘reads British humour and local history’ (no but my dad does 🤣) ‘recently focused on organisation and planning’

"Consistently repurchasing dog food"

Mine made me sad. Said a lot about buying pet supplies. My dog died earlier this year.

Mine also (obviously) has my address and still thinks we live in our old town…

Apparently I ‘engage with Minecraft extensively’ and ‘maintain elaborate hair styling routines’ and I’m not sure which made me laugh hardest 🤣

No idea, I have bought packs of parchment liners a few times, makes washing up easier…. I haven’t bought anything else for it, no racks, silicon liners etc.

Wow that’s a bit scary how quickly it sums up all of your posts. Not correct with some of it’s information though, but that’s not a huge shock.

“Consistently repurchases travel organization items”
Because I’m so disorganised that every time I go on holiday I can’t find the things I bought for the last holiday! And I do aspire to be organised, that’s why I buy the organisation products 🙈

BlueBayBic · Today 19:29

Likely lives in wrong town 🤷‍♀️😂
Reads fiction extensively
“Consistently” purchasing children’s educational materials (strange choice of phrasing!)
Hosts children’s parties regularly 🤨

Either my random insomnia purchases have confused The Machine, or I'm a non-person 😂 It has my height, weight, shoe size and a favourite author - all of which I've input manually. About You is empty!
