Florida is widely accepted as the most bizarre state in the nation. We have the weirdest criminals, the weirdest politicians, the weirdest general population.
So when real estate blog Estately tallied up the Internet search histories of our collective state, there was really only one surprise: “that it wasn’t even weirder.”
Estately “ran hundreds of search queries through Google Trends to determine which words, terms, and questions each state was searching for more than any other,” its report says.
So here’s what Florida’s Googling these days:

Alligator Wrestling: Pretty sure we have tourists to thank for this one. Also: Gator Boys.
Botox: Well, obviously.
Eyebrow Piercing: The dream of the ’90s is alive in Florida.
Hulk Hogan: The ’80s, too.
Juviderm: We had to Google Juviderm to figure out what it was, making this result a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Lice: HIDE YO’ KIDS.
Mazda Miata: Florida’s convertible of choice, apparently.
MDMA: Thanks, Ultra!
Obamacare: THANKS, OBAMA.
Stand Your Ground: Here’s hoping a minority of these searchers were trying to figure out how to use the law in their favor.
Swingers: So money; don’t even know it.
Viagra: Again: obviously.
What is sarcasm?: Oh, Florida. Honey. Please say all of you out there are asking this sarcastically.
Still, it could be worse. Arizona’s top searches include “conjugal visits” and “how are babies made?” Indiana residents can’t stop Googling “I have a rash.” And the only four search terms in Montana are “Bill O’Reilly,” “gun rights,” “National Rifle Association,” and “meth.”
