Google is an incredible tool. It allows you to search for virtually anything at any time, providing invaluable assistance and sometimes inducing a mild panic. One of its most remarkable features is its non-judgmental nature; you can inquire about any topic without fear of exposure, provided your privacy settings are correctly configured. This capability is truly revolutionary.

Over the past 4 years and 8 months, I’ve posed some rather outrageous questions to Google—some intimate, others humorous, and many that are both. I’m certain I’m not alone in having an amusing search history, and today, I’d like to share (a portion of) mine with you.
