Talk:2930: Google Solar Cycle

When I opened the page I found a bunch of vague misspelled content (maybe spammers or bots? I don't know) so I updated the explanation. Not very knowledgeable about most things, though, so it probably still is not good enough. DNA diva (talk) 01:10, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Looking at the first couple of user-edits ("first" Explanation and subsequent Transcript edit), I think they were 'rushed' in order to establish the whole "first"ness and/or escape possible Edit Conflicts (probably needlessly, looking at timings). Not precise enough to be 'AI bot' text (accuracy being different, of course), and no obvious spam-intent.

Could have done with more care to be taken, so as not needing to be entirely revamped by the likes of yourself, somewhat diluting the 'kudos' and making the little effort taken almost entirely pointless. But I like eagerness. Next time, perhaps, a bit of care will go into the mix and we'll be on the way to another useful contributor. 172.71.242.4 04:58, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

This comic got me to search about Danger Kitty (talk) solar flares too.

Contrary to the current explanation, it appears you can search for cocktail recipe searches vs hangover cure searches at a sub-daily resolution. 108.162.210.103 07:51, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

As of my check, just now, I find it very funny that the (current) state-map attached to that result seems to indicate that every state trend predominantly is for searching for cocktails, between the two options. Except for Wyoming, which is solidly the one and only "hangover" state. 172.70.90.115 10:35, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Google solar cycle? Ok. 172.68.58.143 13:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Spike of March 8, 2012

As far as the spike about 12 years ago, there was this. 162.158.175.149 00:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Speaking of spikes, what if the internet and Google Trends had existed in 1859? 172.71.166.135 00:59, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

...we'd still be repairing the infrastructure damage in 1860? ;) 172.71.242.4 04:58, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

...our entire society as we know it would've collapsed long ago. Psychoticpotato (talk) 12:36, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Correct URL?

Is this the correct URL for the query? It's a lot more jagged than I was expecting. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0f81b&hl=en Thanks~

I second this comment, and wish to ask what exactly Randall's settings were on, because "worldwide" and "2004-present" don't match the comic.162.158.114.63 13:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
