I’m not talking about transparent Oreos (but what a great idea since they’ve done every other version imaginable), but clearing my cookies from my devices. Do you do this regularly? I’m kind of obsessive about it. Whenever I get disgusted with myself for wasting too much time online with games and whatnot or googling gossipy garbage, I clear everything from my browser and also Google history. It makes me feel better, like starting a new diet or something. From now on, I vow, I will use the internet only for good… for work or blogging or looking up movie times or researching weird sh!t for my novel or checking med sites to see if I have cancer.
And that lasts a couple days, just like a diet, until I can’t resist the sweet temptation of stalking an ex…

Lol this is extremely relatable.
I think all those ads help in steering us in whatever the algorithm believes our pattern to be (and thats on a good day)
Otherwise a main course is served through yet another “world altering” event 😅

I totally understand you want to get a clearout of your Internet history every once in a while. I also completely understand your resolution to only use the Internet purposefully is only lasting a few days. Good luck for as long as it lasts.

I try to save sites that I visit often, but they never save. Then, if I clear out the cookies, I can’t get auto-suggested the name of that place that has the thing, ya know?
I’m hopeless🙄🤦🏼♀️😂😂

Since Google keeps track of everything regardless of your cookie status, you probably don’t need to bookmark anything–just go to Google and type in the first related word that comes to mind, and the top result will be what you’re looking for.
I’m kind of serious . . .

I believe if you let cookies and algorithms control your web browsing “experience,” the Internet will get narrower and narrower until, finally, all you will see is a reddish light flickering at a frequency calculated to induce a mild euphoria and an uncontrollable desire to change all your passwords to your first pet’s name.
