Google data analysis suggests that “porn” and “suicide” searches dominate late night online inquiries, while searches for free video games and other anonymous searches flow throughout the day.
A New York Times analysis of Google’s “very sharp” data for New York state pinpointed some rather precise searches throughout the day and night.
“Unblocked games,” or those not blocked by school administrators, peaks at 8:04 a.m., and stays high throughout the day until 1:30 p.m. Searches for “weather,” “prayer” and “news” peak before 5:30 a.m., suggesting Americans wake up early across their respective time zones.
Bizarre questions and those pursuing “anxiety” and “suicide” answers are rampant throughout late night hours. Google’s released data doesn’t show the total number of searches, but rather, the search rate for a word and at what time it’s highest – meaning an unusually large amount of searches went out at that respective hour.
The term “symptoms” is highest late at night, with worrisome Google searches seeking information on heart attacks, cancers, tumor and H.I.V. symptoms.
The query of “why is my poop green?” is asked of Google most between 5 and 6 a.m. and then again between 6 and 7 p.m.
