Facebook facepalm.

[randomness]

I was describing to digitalemur last week that I'd finally managed to dislodge Facebook's assumption that I was from Cincinnati. Now it thinks I'm from Montreal--certainly more plausible--but it took quite a number of "likes" to do it, where it only took two offhand "likes" (Skyline Chili and Graeter's) to get them pointed in that direction in the first place.

As we were talking I suddenly realized why Facebook decided I was a lesbian. Early on I "liked" My Drunk Kitchen. The LGBT link suggestions started not long after that.

No one would "like" Hannah Hart's comedy cooking show if they weren't themselves lesbian, right?

*facepalm*

Alternatively, start liking random things whether or not you like them just to throw of its algorithms.

Already on it. :)

You missed the post where I mention how FB thinks I'm a Jewish lesbian lawyer from Cincinnati transplanted to New York. Now it's more Montreal than Cincinnati and it's backed off some on the Jewish stuff, but I'm seeing more sponsored pages for Islamic fashion. Don't know why.

The fun has been in liking things that I'm interested in and seeing where FB goes with it. I really do like Skyline Chili and Graeter's ice cream.
