I find it hard to believe that all the search terms are different in each state…

Why would the list be done by early afternoon? Wouldn't it make more sense to post the top searches of valentine's day after they are all in? For all I know people looking at porn before noon could be in the minority and these results would be completely overshadowed by later searches.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Maybe it's based off UTC but that wouldn't really apply to the us.

Alaska xD...

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago

Alaska? What's occurring?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

That all really tracks, especially Rhode Island

Wife? Do they not have their own wife?

I would guess that it is mostly single people responsible for these statistics

This map is useless without a p value. This could all be random noise.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

We also need pp, v, b and a values.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah. IDK what is meant by a P value but I agree that I suspect the methodology used to create this is designed to make the data more interesting than it really is.

As in, how much more frequently is "enema" searched for in Alaska than elsewhere, and are there more vanilla terms like "college" which occur more frequently in Alaska than elsewhere.

when compared to others

I don't understand why they would be different. Why does the state line dictate what kink a population is into?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 months ago

The map indicates the most popular searches from the IP addresses within each state. Or at least I think it does. It seems a bit odd that something like "intimate" could ever be more popular than like bj or something

Is anyone else completely not surprised by DC's being "sub"?

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I think North Dakota is just trying to say warm, but doesn’t know how to actually ask for what they need.
