Death is easygoing

When I type my name (“Death”) into Google, some of the related searches that pop up are things like “death poems,” “death quotes,” “Death of a Salesman,” etc. Super depressing stuff! Not to be braggy or whatever, but I’m pretty fun. This is just a suggestion, but maybe we can change those links to things like “Surprise! Death looks good in a bathing suit!” or “Has anyone heard Death freestyle rap?” I’m not all business all the time! I mean, sure, I usher people into the land of silence and despair every few seconds, but in general I’m pretty easygoing.

Seasonal suicides

google search trends remains an underused tool to create interesting stories. instead we have poorly informed j school dropouts making shit up.

Search terms implied that people are 24% less likely to consider suicide in the summer, among other seasonal fluctuations that may be useful in epidemiology for illnesses that are difficult to track.
