I love useless trivia. I'm that kid who knew the average speed at which Heinz ketchup moves down a 45% incline at room temperature.

No surprise, then, that I can be endlessly entertained by the new Google Trends feature. This nifty new engine allows a user to find out which city or area is Googling a particular term the most.

http://www.google.com/trends

For instance, the people of Providence are searching for "donut" the most, but they're not even in the top ten for "doughnut." The good people of Minneapolis are very concerned about "gas prices," but they are also among the top searchers for both "art" and "science." Meriden, CT, prefers to search for "oral sex." Most searches for "blog" come out of Lima, Peru.

You can also compare the search frequency for multiple terms by separating them with a comma, which gets fun when you try trend-searching things like "Red sox, Yankees." Folks in Madison, Wisconsin, prefer chocolate ice cream to vanilla by an amazing margin, but in Portland the two flavors are neck-and-neck. "Democrats" are out-googling "Republicans," which makes sense when you confirm that "good" is indeed winning over "evil."

So far, my favorite finding is that Salt Lake City is ranked number one for "orgasm."

Cool!

Now, if I've done this properly, Pennsauken, United States, is the top searcher for NationStates.

Anyone from there?

Heheheh. That's a search for "Porn".

We're doing well down here.

That being....
The average speed at which Heinz ketchup leaves its bottle, when tilted at the propper angle and not given additional velocity by shaking or tapping, is approximately 25 miles per year.

That I find interesting, though I don't know why...

Mormons.

Heheheh. That's a search for "Porn".

We're doing well down here.
It's quite different if you put 'sex' though; India and Turkey win that one.

*whispers* Polygamy...
Makes sense. Those poor women sure as hell aren't having any orgasms of their own, so they're probably looking for some vicarious "satisfaction." :)

Iran has the most searches on "anus". Followed by the French.

Bugger me, my city is second? Need to search for porn more! :D

I suppose that spouse-swapping would be a very complex logistical operation for a Mormon-family...

I got all excited when I found that no American cities are even in the running for googling "sin," but then I remembered that "sin" is the Spanish word for "without," and therefore it's not surprising that Latin countries search for it quite frequently.

Hm, now that I look it up in the trends thing, Perth seems to be leading in the "orgasm" search...

That's kind of nice...all around the world, we share a common interest in orgasms. Kind of sweet. The people of the world, all colors and nations, united over a dream.

Check 'masturbation' - and see where the tossers are!

*mutters summat about France, Canada - AND Australia*

This doesn't make sense...London is the ONLY city with any ranking for the search for "male chastity belt" but the United States generally searches for this term more than the UK does.

What's going on, London?

India leads the rankings in "rape", "naked woman", and "boobs" searches. San Francisco leads in "brokeback mountain".

Trivia is awesome.

Its London, they aren't normal there, you can't blame them really (they have Soho ffs!)

Lima Peru is first for 'Jesus' searches.

Man this is fuckin' awesome. Endless fun.

I think that anyone that has to use Google to search for an orgasm are going about it in the wrong manner. :eek:

Is it surprising that the City of Brotherly Love is the leading city when searching for "love"?

http://www.google.com/trends?q=love

Edit: Philadelphia is also the leading searcher for hate:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=hate&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

The top nine searches for hate are ALL American cities....why is that?

Wow, the top 9 searches for 'Catholic School' are Canadian.
http://www.google.com/trends?q=catholic+school&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

This thread could go on for.. So long.

Oh, and USA get's all top 10 for 'pregnant' lol.

The nation which searches for "sweden" most is... Nigeria :eek: . Who would've guessed that?

Salt Lake has also searched for the word "stupid" most :p And hockey is, surprise surprise, dominated by Canada (though language is swedish :confused: ).

ANYONE who knows about the sexual preferences of Nigerians :p

Ah, okay. Now I understand...

And norwegians search the most for... not sure if it's OK, but it involves human feces, a woman, a tub and extreme grossness.

Those crazy northerners, it seems Finland likes that kind of image too, but their particular flavour involves a man, his ass and a lot of stretching.

Nursing homes?

:p

Interesting. Oslo, Norway has by far the most searches for "anarchy", though Dublin has the most searches for "anarchism".

Where does Paris come on that?

Paris isn't in either.

Paris isn't in either.
You joke, surely? But Paris is an anarchy! Or has been recently anyway.

Apparently Canadian cities lead the way in searching for...uh...Google. :D Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto are all in the top 5. India is top of the countries though, with Canada 4th.

The good people of Minneapolis are very concerned about "gas prices," but they are also among the top searchers for both "art" and "science."

And my city is in the top ten on both gay and lesbian porn.... unsurprising to be honest, I mean we are the ones with Canal Street and one of the biggest gay communities in Europe :D

Vancouver and San Francisco are the two highest for googling google.

Why would you google google? That's like looking up the word Dictionary in the dictionary!

Here's some interesting ones
http://www.google.com/trends?q=id&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
http://www.google.com/trends?q=evolution&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
http://www.google.com/trends?q=id%2C+evolution&ctab=1&geo=all&date=all

Seems intelligent design is more searched for in the U.S than evolution, what exactly that means I'm not sure, but I'm glad to see the rest of the world is pretty uninterested in ID.

Another interesting one is Ireland (my county) is second in searches for Battlestar Galactica.

Has anyone else noticed that swedihs shows up alot being such a small language? I guess we google all the time... Well, I do :D

I predict that Chile will become the next hotbed of death metal.

45 degree incline?

Yeah, all the most socially conservative places, like Utah, and the Muslim world in general come out on top for searches on sex-related terms.

Nursing homes?

:p
Let's not go there, shall we?

Why would you google google? That's like looking up the word Dictionary in the dictionary!

Weird. I though it would say "You're kidding me, right?"

The top country's Morocco and the top language is Norwegian? WTF?????

I'm really surprised at how frequently I'm coming accross NZ. We must Google a lot.. And some if it's just not pretty.

More people search for Domo-kun in Dutch than Japanese. How rare!

Perhaps the Japanese don't want to be eaten!

Yeah, don't know how to make the degree symbol appear in text. Happily, everybody seemed to understand what I meant :).

Golly, one might think that imposed sexual repression doesn't actually reduce the human libido, and that perhaps tyrannical religious patriarchy isn't entirely healthy...
