Funny story… had a friend who was very early adopter of the Amazon Alexa devices. Me being a nerd knew all the things it could do including ordering things on Amazon so I proceeded to say “Alexa, order a 55gal drum of KY jelly” to order a 55gal drum of lube. He had to go into Amazon to cancel the order (I also knew how to do that so I wasn’t worried) but the suggestions he got for the longest time were hilarious.
