Literally fake news. Apparently there are at least 180 uncritical idiots on lemmy.
sigh
Overstated
That’s not how Trends works.
Trends looks at searches for a keyword (or topic) compared to all searches performed (in that area) and then the data is normalized.
In short, Trends looks at “is it hot or not” (e.g., popularity of a term, NOT actual search volumes) and 100 is peak hot while 0 is peak cold. So that curve up today means it is starting to get hot when you compare to the rest of the data except that spike which is around when he dropped out. Narrow your view gap from 12 months to past 1 month and you’ll see a much different story.

Right it’s not nearly as popular now as when the story broke (by a lot), but it’s more popular now than it was a month ago. Meh.
For sure. In any case, people are really stupid. 😢
TEN WHOLE PEOPLE are curious about Biden on election day???
I understand the graph isn’t labeled but I’m pretty sure that’s a percentage. I.e. 10% of the peak when he actually dropped out was searching it today.
The unfortunate drawback of democracy: these people get the same vote the most well-informed altruistic voters do.
They must be driving around seeing all these Harris and Trump yard signs being so confused
Maybe they think Harris is running for local/state office. Sheesh.
It’s easy to forget how uninformed a lot of people are
Behold the undecided voter. These people decide the election if they actually show up to vote.
My fellow Americans, please stop being ignorant as fuck?
Ugggh, seeing my idiot parents eat the onion on every damn election story not questioning a thing there fed…
It’s pretty disappointing.
[Kentucky accent] no deal
He dropped out? Waaaaaat?!
(Kidding. Kidding.)
I made sure to do my part. I wrote in Beau Biden!
Yeah! He had a heart attack and died!
And then Obama’s daughter took his place!
They think we can’t tell, BUT WE CAN TELL!
(This is sarcasm, because SOMEONE will take this seriously.)
