This is quite thought provoking in our capitalist world. Fills you with dread that this could actually be a thing.

Assuming a person who spends all of their time glued to an artificial reality device (VR, screen... book) we're already there. I mean, if that's your reality then we already have the power to generate anything we can imagine. And for a lot of us that's our preferred 24-7 reality.

Um... where do your suggestions come from?

I was trying to be edgy by typing something illogical, like 'sandpaper (sextoy)', and the search box added 'for babies.'

I'm more impressed than outraged I think, and curious if this is based on other searches or some engine. Though I'm not sure which would be worse.

It's just hardcoded and randomly chosen, no any suggestion logic in here

I always thought there should be a magnet to attract dust. Apparently it takes a "miniature wormhole that warps space-time around it" to pull that off:
