Holy shit, Bing just gave me better search results than Google.

Did it outperform DuckDuckGo?

What were you searching for? Or do we not want to know?

[LordSlowpoke]

bing is said to be good for searching for one thing.

* LordSlowpoke rolls eyes

why do i know such shit

Google has intentionally been made much harder to use for searches of an intimate nature, so that might be it.

Wait, really? They, uh, didn't do a good job of that if my experience is anything, then. >________>

[Arx]

Well, apparently. Depending on how hard you try, I suppose. Although, now that you mention it I've run into some strnage things pretty easily. Hmmm.

Because I can't imagine that they could really do that and keep being a search engine.

[LordSlowpoke]

what is inertia

they do a lot of stupid shit and get away with it because of it

[EnigmaticHat]

Google filters out anything sexual or otherwise "inappropriate" out of its suggested searches.  So it can create the illusion that whatever you're typing isn't there.  Still works perfectly fine for actually finding whatever it is though.

Weird al. It started out kind of normal weird al shenanigans...

Theeeen, you'll see. :3

[Loud Whispers]

Just watched Predators.
It's possibly the worst movie I've ever seen, although I'm sure I've erased some pretty bad ones from my memory over the years.

What are you talking about? It has one of the best suicide bomber scenes right next to the Djinn suicide bombing medusa from clash of the titans. That's got to count for something.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The ending is shit though.

Weird Al edit:
EDIT*
I anticipated tin foil hats and was not disappointed.

*EDITx2
His cheekbones never stop amazing me.

[Karkov]

I keep forgetting how amazing Weird Al is, and then I see stuff like that.

I need to go listen to his new album now.

EDIT:  It's hard to remember that he's like, 55 now or something.

[flame99]

or the Jedi plumber again.

Did I miss something?

All you have to do is turn off SafeSearch. You don't even have to be signed in to an adult's account to do it, and NSFW content will show up like it always has.

EDIT:

My current WTF is how some people just have no capacity for learning how computers work. I've seen people who have been using computers for years suddenly get thrown for a loop by a different keyboard model than they're used to. It's not like they've never seen a computer before, they just lose the ability to infer things from past experience when it comes to technology.

It's the same thing for other technology, like DVD players; there's always a button labelled "play" that has the play button-symbol on it and looks like every other play button in existence, but they won't even try to look for it. They'll just stare helplessly at it. They're normal, functioning people, they just have a frightening gap in their learning ability concerning technology.

I was just searching for green jelly- sadly without any nude people frolicking in it.
Google gave me a bunch of crap about some night club called Green Jelly and then threw me a couple of photos of actual green jelly before giving me a whole heap of unrelated stuff... Bing at least gave me the pictures of green jelly first, and then various other nonsense.

And when I tried searching for Aeroplane Jelly (a brand I remember being popular when I was a kid) Google had less than a few pages worth of images on the subject, which was pretty shocking since it supposedly searches most of the internet.
I searched for the same on Bing and it had a more believable amount of images, by which I mean I kept scrolling until I got bored without seeing an end to them. I'm still terribly confused by how rare photos of jelly are on the internet, though.

Maybe I should go buy some jelly, cook it up and give it a whole photoshoot to itself.
Actually made me kind of sad not being able to find much of it with those searches.

[Tawa]

I like Green Jell˙ (pronounced Jell-O).

The band.
