Our phones are programmed to listen for running water from a sink.

We already know our phones are constantly listening. That much is obvious. This is not a joke. I am almost 100% certain that our phones can listen for and distinguish the sound of a faucet running water. Why do I think this?

Because every single time, without fail, when I do my dishes or wash my hands while watching anything on the internet, an ad will play within 30 seconds. Sometimes immediately after I’ve wet my hands.

These SOBs know we have wet hands and have a harder time skipping the ad. I have fully believed this for years.
