A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Google has really gone to shit. "2009 Eurovision winner". 3 pages of the 2033 Eurovision winner.
Same with Google maps. "Pyramids of Giza", shows pyramids bar in London.
Why are you not placing bets on who the 2033 winner will be with your prescient searching
Bit harsh.
It's really really gotten bad in the last few months. Results are usually full of those SEO Blog Spam, or completely random things... or sometimes even nothing at all.
I suspect Google doesn't want to to find stuff quickly so you can stay on their site longer, or they show sites that try to sell something as much as possible. I'm using Espanso (text expansion) to filter out a list of words like shop, prices, buy, Amazon, apple, pinterest. But still other search engines often have better results nowadays.
