Mystery Google: You get what the person before you searched for.

The dense unoriginality of people tires me, 70% of other peoples' searches that I get are something like "what is this?" or "I don't get it".

Great idea spoiled by the banality of the morons using the internet.

Although whoever put "django is overrated" is likely to be from around here? ;)

I much prefer Ogori Google - http://fi.bemmu.com/ogori/

Made by HN user bemmu during a discussion here last week - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=854185

I wish all the luck to puredemo's version, mine took all of 5 minutes to make and was just for a quick laugh :)

Thanks bemmu.. ours started out as a lark as well, but then we ended up spending a considerable amount of time on it.

Are you sure it's not some random search? How can I really know it's from the last person who did a search?

puredemo17 anni fa

Yes it's really the last person who did a search.

Great demonstration of why not to use Adsense or other context-based ads on a site with a search bar and no context whatsoever.

Looks fine to me, still serving up ads. And I want to learn how to make free electricity.

Something to do with flying kites during rainstorms?

I can imagine ways in which these services will be spammed to death.

BTW is there anything useful in these services?

puredemo17 anni fa

Besides entertainment?

185: you are -killing us- over here. My ribs hurt and I'm almost crying.

You know who you are.

Requires further explanation. :)

We can see all the searches coming in, lets just say one person had some excellent, twisted ones.

Don't click "I'm Feeling Lucky."

puredemo17 anni fa

Unless you're actually feeling lucky.

jacquesm17 anni fa

You might get lucky and go to jail in some countries.

Or at a minimum redflagged.

puredemo17 anni fa

Actually we're filtering the input fairly extensively. At this point there shouldn't be any searches that would be considered illegal. Raunchy maybe, but not illegal.

* Ironically the terms that get flagged aren't what people would expect. Anarchy, animal rights, veganism, and food not bombs all get flagged in the U.S.

Veganism ??

That's about as non-violent as it gets!

Even the eggs are safe from vegans.

Google "Earth Liberation Front"; the "eco terrorists" are very high on the fed's shit-list.

jacquesm17 anni fa

Sure, but to equate vegans with eco terrorists is a bit much isn't it ?

Most of them are far from it, I've yet to meat ;) a single vegan that came across as aggressive in any way. I'm sure they exist but it definitely isn't the norm.

Veganism gets flagged, but "juicy men" does not?
