Indiana, I hope we never meet again

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I find it hard to believe that all the search terms are different in each state…

I always wonder what the actual statistical significance of these maps are. They always seem random, and it'd make sense if it's essentially the same mix of a little of everything everywhere.

I believe the main purpose of releasing them is to generate publicity for their company that they might not be able to get otherwise in more mainstream media. Much like how the legal brothels in Nevada put out press releases about how they’re offering free services to first responders who helped on a recent disaster or something like that. It gets people talking about them and spreads awareness about their offerings.

Pornhub actually has a pretty good blog that goes into detail on all kinds of trends. You might find answers there.

You'll find your answer in the gray text above the map.

Why would the list be done by early afternoon? Wouldn't it make more sense to post the top searches of valentine's day after they are all in? For all I know people looking at porn before noon could be in the minority and these results would be completely overshadowed by later searches.

At least some people still think about their lonely grandmas.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

That all really tracks, especially Rhode Island

Alaska xD...

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Those passionate Minnesotans!

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Alaska? What's occurring?

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This map is useless without a p value. This could all be random noise.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

We also need pp, v, b and a values.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah. IDK what is meant by a P value but I agree that I suspect the methodology used to create this is designed to make the data more interesting than it really is.

As in, how much more frequently is "enema" searched for in Alaska than elsewhere, and are there more vanilla terms like "college" which occur more frequently in Alaska than elsewhere.

when compared to others

Wife? Do they not have their own wife?

[–] guy@piefed.social 3 points 10 months ago

I would guess that it is mostly single people responsible for these statistics

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

What’s up with Alaska?

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (7 children)

Checking in from Alaska. Uhh yeah, no one is into ... enema porn here. WTF
