Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
checking the google trends and apparently may 2022 was the peak
That was me, mb
The methodology via the study's link:
Google Trends data was collected for the search terms "am I gay", "am I lesbian", "am I trans", "how to come out", and "nonbinary" for all 50 U.S. states and D.C. from January, 2004 to May of 2023. Google's proprietary 100 point scoring system was used to represent each term's normalized search volume proportional to all other searches in the region or time period compared. In this system, 100 represents the highest popularity for the term, 50 represents half the popularity, and so on.
So I'm not sure the 1300% number means anything
farting around on google trends for a half hour and calling it a study
If these people weren’t allowed into academia they’d be doing the same thing except it would just be a blog. Source: my blog.
“Can I get some units on that data please?”
“Sorry, the units are proprietary.”
“What”
Egg zack ley
"nonbinary" is a bit of a weird one to include. that could just be cis people looking for a definition because it's a new term to them
Ah so it's just in the USA
That's when the frogs started putting microplastics in the water
And now we rise, and we are everywhere.
more and more people are saying it, folks
!duckduckgo i am gay
why isnt this working
Just saying, I was born in 1999 and "am I gay" surged as I grew up.
Unspoken rizz.
Nice
Well, are you?
At least 50%,100% if the woman wears black and is mean to me
You are. And you're better for it
