Internet Searches that Have Got to Stop

And now, the horrible truth of some bizarre internet searches that are so common that Google brings them up if you type in an innocent sequence of words. I don’t remember what exactly I was searching, just that it started with “Is it possible to never”. Then things got weird.


Do people…really want to know this? Is there someone alive who has not pooped or farted? I just...this gives me a headache.

Another time, I was typing something like “can a cat eat vegetables” (long story, one of my cats keeps trying to eat celery) but I accidentally hit a z instead of the c for cat and I got…



Honestly, it’s less weird than the other one, but it also makes me think that people actually think it could happen and oh that’s depressing for humanity. And what’s with the yahoo? Are they the ones that are going to bring the zombie apocalypse down on us? Google I can see being behind something like that, but not Yahoo. I’m sure they’d try and maybe they’d eventually get it to work, but by then we’d have all moved on to better zombie apocalypses.

And finally, I was looking up something else and the auto fill gave this…



I don’t know what’s the matter with Kansas. Or the meaning of life. Or how a search engine can answer that. Seriously people, it’s a search engine, not god.

Have you ever stumbled across any crazy/disturbing searches?

  1. All the time. It makes me wonder why other people are looking up such things.

  2. The meaning of life search would've lead to 42. Or Monty Python.
    Jesse (who no longer blogs) used to post these searches all the time. Some disturbing stuff out there.

  3. Dangit, I totally came here today to find out what's the matter with Kansas. And you don't know, either. Sigh...

  6. And somehow riding a zebra is something I don't think they'd put up with.

  7. I don't know what to say about that poop one. I really don't. I hope all the people who searched for that got their answer ...

  8. It's the teenagers. They Google everything. Seriously. One student told me she wasn't doing her work in class because she wanted to Google the questions so she wouldn't have to look them up in her book.

    So, just think, what would a teenager ask? Does that help clear some of these up?

  9. I laughed out loud at 'What's the matter with Kansas?' We make jokes about the Zombie apocalypse at our house all the time but I don't think any of us have looked it up.

  10. I know I certainly have come across weird stuff during research, and what some auto searches pop up make me nervous about what folks are looking up (in a funny way). :)
