Fact: Internet users search weird things.

A search engine's autocomplete can tell you a lot about yourself. If you've been looking for a lot of puppy pics recently, Google knows, and is there to make life easier. Helpful little suggestions drop from the bottom of your search bar and your day gets easier.

But autocomplete isn't just giving you responses based on your prior searches. It looks at the search activity of all web users, and as we all know, there are some serious weirdos out there in Internet-land.

In order to see just how deep the weirdness goes, we gave Google a few prompts. And the results did not disappoint. Acting as a social barometer, Google told us what the Internet is thinking about. Is Steve Buscemi really a fantasy creature? Do puppies really love us?

Some searches were so strange, we had to see them illustrated. And now we're sharing them with you. You're welcome.
