a phone is such a private thing these days: it feels to me like an extension of my thoughts.... I would be mortified if anyone I know found the stuff I look at.

some of the things I think my phone knows:

im a middle aged mum.
I have a huge crush on Carl barat from the libertines
im a complete hypercondriac

what about you?

@mosesbasskit so sorry to hear that you were abused. I hope you get the help you need.

re watching lesbian porn, if you are straight, is it because lesbian porn is more focused on a woman’s pleasure? I’m not a fan of watching porn because most of it is just unsexy to me, it feels like it’s aimed at men

Sorry I killed your thread 😂

Yes I think it might be that, I find the straight porn really aggressive and I don't think the women look like they're enjoying it. But possibly I'm bisexual

My phone is a bit stupid, it knows very little about me (but since it's a Nokia 105 I will forgive it). My tablet on the other hand knows that :

I love Enid Blyton books
I hate the SNP and Nicola Sturgeon
I have had several pregnancies scares ( I am late 40's)
I cheat at my favourite word game by using Word Unscrambler

AbsolutelyLoveIy · 13/06/2022 12:53

I listen to books about autopsies and the micro biome amongst other delights

TheCanyon · 13/06/2022 13:05

That I love to play games whenever I have a spare 5 mins or so. The worst thing about being hospitalised with pneumonia/collapsed lung/sepsis was loosing my daily log in streak, sad times!!

My fascination with true crime.

Stylishkidintheriot · 13/06/2022 17:44

@mosesbasskit yeah, it is very aggressive and the women tend to look like blow up dolls.

@TheCanyon hope your winning streak recovered (and your lung too!)

If you mean mobile phone - nothing, since I don't have one.

alwaysmovingforwards · 13/06/2022 18:59

Mine knows:
I've been researching resin driveways
Listen to history podcasts
That I've recently googled "what are Anguilliformes"
Have an app for a DIY warehouse called Screwfix that my builder from 4 years ago assured me was 'pucker' Confused

dottypotter · 14/06/2022 15:10

My phone knows what songs I like listening to on Spotify.
It knows who I WhatsApp and that I often look on here and I often check the weather out.

@merryhouse what’s an AU fiction?

Alternative Universe

Bibonelove · 16/06/2022 22:57

Lesbian porn is more popular than straight

Onlyforcake · 16/06/2022 23:09

That I'm learning a new language.
That I have two children in mental health crisis.

My funeral arrangements

Goldengoosey · 17/06/2022 00:02

My real weight 😂

CherryPieface · 17/06/2022 00:32

I don’t really watch porn but if I do, it’s going to be lesbian porn. Just so much gentler and sexier.

my phone also knows I’m obsessed by my step count!

Fairyjuice · 17/06/2022 00:42

Mine knows that I'm totally obsessed with true crime. My search history is full off bizzare and brutal rabbit holes that I've gone down 🙈

Also, it knows every weekly meal plan I've made in the last 8 years

And that I sometimes spend 2-3 hours in the middle of the night compiling new Spotify playlists to act as the soundtrack to some story/fantasy/scenario that I'm building in my head

And that I suspect I have undiagnosed adhd

Ponoka7 · 17/06/2022 00:51

That I'm mostly using my overdraft and I pay in three far too often. That I can't watch a film without knowing everything about the cast and I google random stuff which takes me to all sorts of places.
