Why would we care about April 3rd thru the 7th?
google gives you this data in one week blocks if i remember correctly
A) google does this analysis by week-long blocks, so all the searches from 8th will be i this block.
B) I have legit seen people stare at the sun BEFORE an eclipse as if to get some baseline for what the sun looks like? Just talking about the sun makes people do this.
The question is does it differentiate between "eyes hurt" and just watches that contain those two words. Like if someone asked "How can I look at the eclipse and not hurt my eyes" would it show up in this bucket too.
To test whether stupid people are psychic, or, if the smart part of their brain (that refuses to help their conscious mind or, more likely, is actively ignored) foresaw what was coming?
