The news just said that 1 in 53000 skydiving jumps end in fatality. Those aren't great odds. I'm not sure I want to skydive anymore.

Just stop at 52000...

Yeah on body size to penis ratio, humans are monsters. The theory is that you can blame cultural selection for large penises by women.

Monsters or not, googling "Argentine Lake Duck phallus" will make you feel inadequate.

Nope, not looking, I don't want any related searches at Amazon.

This official UK Foreign Office video would not be out of place in a "20 years in the future" Black Mirror kinda deal. Nifty stuff.

Most accidents happen within 20miles of home.
So all you have to do is move at least 21 miles away.

I got a wild hair to check in on Zatikon again, but the download link from chronic logic's website is dead. So I got it off download.com, but when it tries to update, it closes without launching.

So I google around trying to figure out if it's just out of business... and...

That moment when the wikipedia page for a game links a Gas Bandit Gaming review as a source :confused:

When I type "types of" into Google image search, with nothing else, it shows me types of bras, types of breasts, and types of necklines. Does this happen to you guys or does Google know me a bit too well?

Boobs, bras and necklines are kinks I can get behind. Dogs, though? Eww

[DOUBLEPOST=1499846958,1499846924][/DOUBLEPOST]Vinegar/coats/climates/meat/shoes for me. No idea where those come from.

My suggestions are all over the place...

DarkAudit · Jul 12, 2017

I didn't just copy Pez's screenshot. I guess this is the default set.

Sparhawk · Jul 12, 2017

Flowers/poems/dogs/cats/clouds

Those are the first 5 that show for me, can't say I do much searching in one particular area, and those do seem to be the default results.

The funny thing is your results sound like the generic European scene in something like a James Bond movie.

Gared · Jul 12, 2017

Looks like there may be some small amount of personal or regional variation to the Google "types of" suggestions. I have dogs, clouds, flowers, and poems like everyone else, but I also have weed.

DarkAudit · Jul 12, 2017

images.google.co.uk gave me the same list as before. images.google.jp got this...

GasBandit · Jul 12, 2017

I got a reduced set from everybody else. Flowers/Dogs/Clouds/Poems/Triangles, and that's it. No kisses, bras, or ticks for me, I guess.

bhamv3 · Jul 12, 2017

I think I should've been more specific. I mean I get images for "types of bras", "types of necklines" etc in the image results.

I got that too, but it was mixed in with random things like "types of government" and "types of learning."

That's interesting, at work (in firefox) I get the same results as Pez and DA. At home in chrome, I get the reduced set.

Triangles?

All this time you claimed to be an Ewok, but you're really Telly?

I got Flowers, Poems, Dogs, and Clouds.

To be fair, *I* never claimed I was an Ewok. Calleja came up with that, and the rest of you ran with it.

DarkAudit · Jul 12, 2017

Triangles?

He's not an Ewok, he's mini-Phil Jackson.

Types of dogs, people, kisses.

Oh. Types of Intelligence, bras and learners.

Posting here for @Zero Esc because just linking his main tumblr on a reblog wasn't working right for some reason.

poems
flowers
cancer

...Maybe it does know where I live.

Quick, someone do this via PIA (or other VPN) where you can change your geo and report the results!

I already did that. Just change the address and go right to images.google.co.uk or images.google.jp.

I was going say that a lot of these sound like keywords for a generic rom-com.

Yours sound like the worst rom-com ever.

Or at least a 4-panel Jim Benton comic.
