Intelligent bunch of searchers here. No one apparently cared to know if pigs can fly… Or if hell can freeze over. That reassuring in a way, especially when you see the gender confused step up to bat.
But elephants and tsunamis? I like how your mind works, Chris. Lots of fun, this exercise!
Thanks, Will! Now that you mention it, I’m kind of surprised no one searched for “can pigs fly.” It seems right in line with some of the other genius searches I saw.
I laughed for the entire length of the piece. OUT loud! No quiet snickering on this one, and yes, like Offifoto1, I did a little testing too, coincidentally, also on a Brave browser. I'm done with Google, and am closing in on the date when all of my email addresses will be end-to-end encrypted. I got to a breaking point due to the abundance of spam I was receiving every day. Now my life is spam and ad free. I'm not tracked or traced or made a victim of relentless ads that pop up everywhere just because I searched a product! I'm free!!!!
Okay here are mine:
Can A:
Can a catholic attend sspx mass
Can L:
Can lyme disease kill you
Can V:
Can vaginal atrophy be reversed
Can O:
No can o' worms? That was the first thing that came up for me.
Can Z:
Can Zohran Mamdani run for president
Unfortunately, that answer is no. Because it's in the constitution, he wasn't born here. But I think it's because everyone knows he'd win. I mean, it's not like anyone is paying attention to the constitution these days.
I’m glad you liked it, Nan! I also love that you and Ofifoto are doing your own experiments. So does no more Google mean no more YouTube? Or do you not use YouTube anyway?
The laugh I needed today. I'm curious, though. This is Google search predictive text. I'm going to try with a different search engine & see if I find any more answers.
EDIT: Using Brave, there was a lot of concern over whether various medical ailments can kill you, but the best one I found was "can quail eat chia seeds". I'm delighted with this new game, thank you. It's more fun, and better for my mental health, than scrolling suggestions on Instagram. I'm off now to see what happens with "why".
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I also tried it with DuckDuckGo just to see what I’d get there. They were quite different. I guess each search engine reflects the personalities of its users. Seems like Brave users are a bunch of hypochondriacs!

What this teaches us, or more aptly - what it reinforces - is that most of us are morons.
And while I’m more of a spoken word type guy, I would totally audition for your death metal band.
That was my main takeaway as well.
Great, I’ll talk to the guys and we’ll set something up the next time Toxic Megacolon is in your neck of the woods.
I live in Wisconsin and there is a dearth of those types of bands so you may wanna get on the stick. Fertile ground.
Naturally, I tried “Can an old guy…”
Google suggested “build muscle,” “learn new tricks,” and “ever stop giving unwanted advice.”
Then it asked whether I wanted directions to urgent care.
🤣🤣

Why can't WE?
Why can't:
Why can't you wear white after labor day?

Pessimistic hypochondriacs, no less!
Oh, Chris, that is hilarious. Perfect read for me this evening. Still laughing. Thank you!
You made my night, Mary Beth!
This was a classic! Every letter you covered gave me a laugh and I had no idea that so many things cause GI distress!
Thanks, my friend! Let’s catch up soon.
‘Should Canada’ still gives ‘join the EU’ as the first result; but last spring, I only needed to type ‘should’!
🤣 I guess that’s progress!
Can I figure out what makes you tick? I don't think so. That's a good thing.
If you do, please share it with me.
I laughed the whole alphabet through.
I love to hear that, Rose!
Me too. HILARIOUS! xo
