Weird things you've Googled

"do catnips exist in joseon era"

...it's for RP stuff, aight?

"Blork"

What really makes it weird is that it's a real word.

"Latin word for fuck"

Unfortunately, I didn't discover anything that wasn't in my handy-dandy Latin dictionary, so that was a waste of time. (Still don't know how to say "We want a fucking milkshake" in Latin.)

From the past couple days:

• "spongebob movie chronology" - Trying to find out if The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is the chronological end of the timeline.
• "compare the meerkat gay" - Finding a video on whether the Compare the Meerkat characters are gay. Cuz they totally are.
• "what is 6 days from today" - I'm very lazy.
• "insurance mascot tiermaker" - I wanted to rank insurance mascots.
• "meerkat feet" - I was drawing the aforementioned gay meerkats and couldn't figure out what their paws looked like.
• "dog knows why i put on pants" - I wanted to know how dogs learn to associate putting pants on with going outside, since my dog gets excited whenever I get dressed.
• "why is the geico gecko australian" - Why though?
• "what does yoshi juice do" - Referring to Yoshi's power in Super Mario Sunshine but it sounds funny out of context.

I'm not good at recognizing different English accents.

I google clothing-optional every time I can't get clothing on spellcheck.

I thought the Geico gecko had a Cockney accent.

"Kid insists make believe is real" — I remembered some other kids and me doing that when we were kids and wanted to know if it was normal.

"pink thigh-high crocs" It was a gag in a crackfic I was reading and I wanted to know if they were real

One weird thing I've searched was "cute rifle" and "cute ak47" for an oc. Said oc only carries a normal one but finds it cute so I was just curious what would come up honestly.

"eating soup with chopsticks"

I googled this because of a Tommy Cash lyric that gave me a funny mental image of trying to eat soup, as in, plain tomato soup with nothing in it, with chopsticks. I googled it to see if there were any pictures and there are, but it's all noodle soup, which I forgot was a thing in that moment. I felt like a jackass afterwards :P

"zero knowledge proof"

Sometimes, I go down weird math rabbit-holes.

"what are the transitions between commercial breaks called in anime" - I was trying to find the eyecatches for the 2011 Hunter × Hunter anime because, well, I just think they're neat, and searching "hunter x hunter transitions" on YouTube gave me the exact fucking opposite of what I wanted - including some slightly spoilery stuff I wasn't gonna go near (I'm trying to break the habit of spoiling myself on stuff eheh 😅)

"male names"/"female names"

I was writing some headcanons for Friday Night Funkin', and wanted the characters to have actual names.

"is ruff ruffman jewish"

Apparently I'm not even the first person to ask. (It's cuz of his grandma's accent.)

"Oh hai marnie pokemon"

I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks Marnie looks like a younger, prettier Distaff Counterpart to Tommy Wiseau. They both have long black hair.

"at what temperature does tooth enamel melt"

...don't ask.

"international cat day"

Kinda weird, but I was curious as to what day it is.

What's weirder is how some of the questions listed were about cat mating rituals. Okay, that's enough Google for me.

"Does Seven of Nine have a sense of humour?"

Today I looked up several pieces of information on bruised bones, including whether or not they show up on x-rays, what they look like on MRI scans (since they do show up on MRI scans), and how long it takes to recover from a bruised rib.

Context: I'm a writer. There's a scene where the main character gets hit in the ribs pretty hard and ends up with several rib contusions, so... there's that.

"should you put tiki on alcryst" (I went ahead and did it anyway)

"sociopath symptoms"

Again, I'm a writer.

I remember recently googling "pregnant centaur" cuz I didn't know whether the horse part or the human part had the uterus in it.

Edited by mightymewtron on Mar 14th 2023 at 12:39:43 PM

^ I somehow never considered that, but if I had to guess, I'd say it'd probably be the horse half that has the uterus.

Centaurs have some strange anatomy when you think about it...

That is what I'm going with, mostly because it's funnier. Fanfiction things!

On the subject of being nervous googling edgy things, I googled a lot of abortion-related terms for a fic and then had this paranoia that it'd fuck up my algorithm so I'd google things like "how long does it take to get an abortion (I am a writer)".

Double post, but here's one: "where can you have sex in disney wold". Leaving the typo in cuz it's even funnier that way. (This is for a joke in a fic.)
