turns out the answer to my question is “less than a week”
Reminds me of Brexit
Come on, Russian money wasn’t involved in …
Oh
OHH
“Post not found”
Edit: works in browser, only broken in Voyager. Weird.
I’m on Voyager and can see it. They pushed a new update the day before yesterday, and a few things broke for me till I updated (inline images).
Updating your app might fix it.
To own the libs, they sold their soul.
When you realize memes shouldn’t have influence on your voting decision…
You broke it, you bought it.
Yeah except we’re all going to pay.
America even does socialism the worst
Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.
I tried to buy the other one because I didn’t want the broken one. Still stuck buying the broken one.
I’m willing to give a redo in this case
Bloody hell, this is the US version of Brexit… this world would be such a better place if people just did the bare minimum of reading into what they were actually voting for before they fucking voted!
Also, seeing the other top searches being about the tariffs would have me creasing if it weren’t so disappointingly stupid that these peoole seemingly knew nothing about Trumps most advertised economic policy before (assumably) voting for him
Whenever I see all the trash on the side of the road, I know why the world is that way.
No, the US version of Brexit was Trump’s first term, since they both happened in the same year.
This is just people saying they know exactly how bad Brexit went the first time and they want that again.
I think that most of them do a lot of reading. The problem is that they just read news and info that they like and have no ability to criticise arguments. Critic thinking is the main problem imho.
Americans don’t read. They just want vibes.
This will be so much fucking worse than Brexit
The relative numbers are worth little without knowing the underlying numbers. If it went from 100 to 700 people, that is still negligble. Also crazy how people immediately take that as a base to remove voters rights unless they pass some sort of test. Nothing could go wrong with stripping voters rights amirite?
For all future elections I suggest we have one voter - me. I promise to deliver the optimally democratic outcome.
Ah, the Vetinari principle. One man, one vote.
Vetinari is that man, and he has that vote.
Yup, and I promise quality boots for all.
For wearing or for licking?
This is what we now have, we just decided the one vote goes to donald fucking trump.
Well, that’s because the one voter wasn’t me.
See how much better my system would be?
This but unironically
“Somebody shit in my pants.”
“I don’t know who it was but they must really like corn.”
Corn? When did I eat corn?
Is this the “Find out” stage then?
Actions have consequences. Sad people had to figure it out this way.
Sad others among us will have to pay more than those that caused the problem. But such is America and so is history.
Post election searches are the best:
“What is the EU?”
“What is Brexit?”
Of course, let’s not let things like knowledge or consequences get in the way of reactionary & spiteful arrogance informed only by propaganda induced fear and hate, emotions know to prevent rational thought /s
“what is love?” (baby don’t hurt me)
I don’t know how trustworthy these search trends are. For example if you type in “where did I put my” it will complete all kinds of stuff like “keys” and “wallet” and “passport” which seems to imply that people are regularly asking Google where they placed items in their own house.
The searches spike after every election and this one was no different than any other year.
Compared to shrimp scampi, an example search I stole from another thread on this topic, it’s pretty clear the searches are meaningless and not tied to this particular result.
Suggested search queries have gone down the toilet since llms became a things
The article claims “in droves” then doesn’t give a number, or even an estimate.
Yeah, because google is vague.
Not sure what “100” means, but that’s what it peaked at.
Here are a couple comparisons that maybe give it more relevance:
That is a percentage score. So you take the highest level of searches and it will always be 100% and all lesser scores are in comparison to that score of 100(%). If you can find out what the actual number of searches are for that one score, you can derive the approximate number of searches in the other places. It shows an informational tool tip on desktop.
Well that’s less than entirely helpful.
Thank you very much for the explanation!
Your welcome… I liked it when it was Google Zeitgeist and they published hard numbers but since they rebranded and named their video series Google Zeitgeist good luck finding out the actual numbers 🤐
100 means that’s when the searches hit their most popular peak while 0 means nothing was really searched. Google trends does not show actual search volumes.
Google Trends looks at search terms compared with all searches done (in a specific geographic region and time point). That data is then normalized.
It’s essentially looking at popularity trends of is this hot or not.

Edit: here are specifics about what I mentioned above if you’re curious.
Of course its fucking IOWA
Iowa is just where that term was the most popularly searched. However, it was searched in all states.
I explained Google Trends a bit more here if you’re curious.
But droves though. Droves.
It could have been droves… it also could have been 10 people. It also doesn’t say which way they wanted to change their vote. It could all be LIV’s who learned something they didn’t know after voting early or it could have been people torn about their vote panicking and seeing if they could change their mind.
This doesn’t tell you anything but people searched it and not how many.
It doesn’t say if it was a metric drove or an imperial drove. Shoddy journalism, if you ask me.
Once again, these are the a validation headlines that create and support echo chambers. Honestly, what does it matter now?
We already know the regret is strong on this nation and will only get worse.
This is all bullshit, designed to start another wave of outrage. Even after the election, we’ve gotta have more stuff to rage about. News these days is just rage all day every day, no matter what.
I’ve said it the whole election cycle. The news downplayed every Trump gaffe because they wanted him back to fuel the outrage click machine. They wanted that sweet revenue back after 4 boring years of Biden just ya know doing his fucking job.
I had to have new anxiety meds called in because all of the political stuff is sending me into panic attacks. I’ve been avoiding politics as much as possible since the day after the election because it causes so much anxiety.
Why are you here then
This post caught my attention and decided to look at it despite my anxiety
God I fucking hate humans
The republican anti-education campaign bears fruit I see.
