What were you Googling?
Washington State looked up Leonard Nimoy more than any other state. While I admire and respect him, I think my meh activity (looking up gifs, product reviews, etc) should have loaded the count another way ;-)

We also Googled “left shark” the most. Remember him?
Here is the site with a list of other popular search terms.

How about you, Were you in Googling conformity with the rest of your state?

I was wondering if I'd ever get a fuku. I couldn't find the answer. So I googled google instead

It's bad enough that google knows what I google... I'm not sharing that info with anyone else. I will share that a friend of ours left us a gift of Edible Anus for Christmas.

For those wondering, you CAN get your anus cast and made into a bronze sculpture!

Our friend signed it "With love, Krampus"

So if that's what I'm willing to share... leave my googling private, for everyone's sake.

- @Thumperchick You didn't put friend in ""'s- so I'm guessing this is entirely normal for that person then?

- @Lotsofgoats no. As of yet, his gift of anus has been left uneaten by any and all recipients.

The last thing I googled was "duckduckgo." That was a year ago today.

- @KDemo Unless you're joke is going over my head, search for 'duckduckgo.' It's a search engine that doesn't track your searches. :)
  Edit: YOUR (not 'you're'). Gee whiz, too much pie or something.

- @KDemo @gregormehndel also if you like googles results, but want to put a layer between you and them check out https://www.startpage.com , it's a similar idea to duckduckgo with the added advantage of a proxy sevice to pull up pages (just click proxy on the results page next to the item you are interested in).

- @gregormehndel A friend was visiting during Thanksgiving. She went to search on my computer and the screen looked funny (duckduckgo) and she actually started to put "Google Search" into the search bar until I stopped her explaining that duckduckgo was my search engine now. She looked at me like I was speaking Mandarin and actually tried to continue to go to Google until I physically stopped her!

- @thismyusername Hmmm. This is good to know, thanks! I miss the "search by image" function on google. In fact, that reminds me that I actually have used google for that function since I switched over to DDgo.

- @gregormehndel Um, she really should be! A total neurotic... when I explained what duckduckgo was she said she "had to remember that" but I think she may have a bit of a "bad memory" also! Um, she was searching for some stupid gossip crap which would have fit perfectly into: PENNSYLVANIA Jon Snow dead, Dick Van Patten dead, Carrie Underwood baby, Royal baby, Blake Lively baby...Actually I should have physically removed her fingers from my computer!

Not sure if it's encouraging or sad that we Marylanders need to Google Ta-Nehisi Coates.

- @Lotsofgoats Haha, agreed. Just feel like MDers should somehow know without Googling, like… you drive on 695, and the VMSes just pound subliminal messages of TNC into your mind…
