turns out the answer to my question is “less than a week”
Reminds me of Brexit
“Post not found”
Edit: works in browser, only broken in Voyager. Weird.
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.
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.
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.
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?
I had those tamales 3 weeks ago…
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
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 🤐
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.
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.
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.
God I fucking hate humans
The republican anti-education campaign bears fruit I see.
How are people this stupid?something in the water?
Lead… I’m not kidding.
Don’t forget pesticide exposure which eventually has similar effects to lead over time: decreased intelligence and increased aggression
Some 'murican cities are unironically trying to get rid of fluoride from water. You know, the thing that also goes in toothpaste and is overall good for keeping teeth healthy
RFK Jr, who is likely to be our new head of health and human services, wants to ban it nationally.
Unfortunately RFK isn’t all wrong on this one. Recent evidence is showing it is indeed linked to neurological issues… Furthermore the effects are kind of negated by fluoride in the toothpaste.
The long-awaited report released Wednesday comes from the National Toxicology Program, part of the Department of Health and Human Services. It summarizes […] that drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter is consistently associated with lower IQs in kids.
[…]
Since 2015, federal health officials have recommended a fluoridation level of 0.7 milligrams per liter of water, and for five decades before the recommended upper range was 1.2. The World Health Organization has set a safe limit for fluoride in drinking water of 1.5.

These margins are razor thin.
Respectfully, I’m going to be immediately suspicious of any study that uses IQ as the measuring standard. IQ is not an objective measure of intelligence or cognitive ability. The same person taking the test will probably have a different score every time they take it. I’m not saying fluoride does or does not have an effect on cognitive ability or intelligence. But IQ is hardly going to be the way to figure that out.
Edit: I also don’t know how you’d conclude it’s fluoride and not literally anything else they’re consuming.
Respectfully, maybe read the two linked studies then.
You only linked one? The other is referenced in an article. The way these studies were conducted and the populations used does not immediately translate to fluoride being the issue since that wasn’t the only variable. It’s worth exploring, but it’s really not enough to change decades of dental hygiene improvements.
The ap article links another.
You’re not swallowing toothpaste. I don’t know enough about the effects of fluoride to agree or disagree with the removal. Being a guy with healthy teeth, a …few years under his belt and living on well water for damn near all of them, I’m pretty comfortable saying leave it in the toothpaste where it’ll have fewer unintended consequences
It has been proven in repeated studies that fluoride in the water helps prevent tooth issues for children in low income families.
There is much less fluoride in water than in toothpaste, so the swallowing comparison is a little bit extra.
Years of GOP meddling with education, which is only gonna nose dive when dept of education gets dismantled
“How to unsink the Titanic”
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’m willing to give a redo in this case
Are we all just assuming these searches are from people who regret their votes and hoped to be able to change it?
I double checked my ballot before submitting it, with full knowledge that irrevocability is the price of anonymity. Nevertheless, I might use similar search terms if I was curious how many other voters, possibly in other states or with different political alignments, had written about regretting their votes. Or, perhaps, … if I was doing research for a post-election article about the topic.
That’s a great point. The Trump team tried to get all voter information from all states in 2020. Ostensibly to verify voter fraud. But this data was probably used to create such voter suppression systems as Eagle AI.
So they know who you voted for.
What ya’ll upset for now? The economy was so good under Trump! Didn’t you want him to deport all those “poisonous” immigrants. He’s your retribution. And, besides, it’s not like Harris would have been any better, because they’re the same anyway.
