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.

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

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

Indiana, I hope we never meet again

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.

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

At least some people still think about their lonely grandmas.

Alaska xD...

Alaska? What's occurring?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That all really tracks, especially Rhode Island

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

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

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 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.

Wife? Do they not have their own wife?

[–] guy@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

when compared to others

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

What’s up with Alaska?
