Ask any question. Today it is possible. The most popular questions that people ask are “what to watch”, “what is my ip”, “how to do … something” and “what time is it”.
At ahrefs.com you can find out the 100 most asked questions on Google globally. What is today, what to watch, what is my ip, where is my train and how many days until Christmas. That’s across the planet. In the U.S. the top questions include “who is winning the election” - there seems to be an election somewhere in the U.S. at any given moment.
Here are some curious moments. Seven hundred and fifty thousand people asked what dinosaur has 500 teeth. Over 660,000 people asked how to decorate a fish tank. Over 910,000 people want to know how many weeks there are in a year. That one amazes me. Consider the irony. The person is literate, is using a keyboard so one can assume some wealth, and yet doesn’t know how many weeks in a year.
And then that dinosaur question…
The dinosaur with over 500 teeth is such a popular question because it was an internet meme in early 2021 that challenged people to search for the answer. It was part of a “Don’t Google” meme - that’s the same as the call to mental action of “don’t think of a pink elephant” - in which you mentally picture a pink elephant.
“Nigersaurus taqueti, a sauropod that lived 110 million years ago. It had a unique, wide, and straight-edged muzzle with a "dental battery" of over 500 replaceable teeth for non-stop grazing on low-lying plants. “ The teeth were replaced every 14 days. The Nigersaurus was known as the Mesozoic cow.
I looked out last night and saw the big moon, called a November beaver supermoon. It was surrounded by a sort of mist, so quite mystical. This picture of the moon on our street comes from 2017. Looks like a search light
