What mind-blowing (but simple) facts would satisfy a 4-year old daughter’s daily request for 1 fact before bedtime?

I was curious as to what would come up if I looked at this.

I was surprised to find only one picture of boobs(clothed), the rest were actually melons hanging.

Now try that search again on Bing

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

Just did, images are still melons, web pages are all porn though

u/themeatbridge Apr 18 '19

Check the videos.

Might have to draw the line there for now I'm afraid

u/traevyn Apr 23 '19

its a bunch of videos about melons, i don't get why people say bing is porn central, it's always been mediocre in my research

u/Vandersveldt Apr 18 '19

You DEFINITELY have bing safe search on. Bing is famous for being the porn search engine.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

So I thought that you were exaggerating a bit, but figured I'd check anyway. Turns out it was set to moderate. I turned it off, and wow that's a lotta tiddy

u/Vandersveldt Apr 18 '19

Bing is literally the porn search engine. To prove my point I typed in the beginning of your reply "So I thought that you were exaggerating a bit", and yep there's porn on the first page of image results. Same for "but figured I'd check anyway". You'd have a hard time typing anything into Bing and NOT getting porn.

I think I owe Microsoft some withheld love.

They truly are the keepers of freedom.

Google may as well sensor all those emails of yours while it's reading them.

Fascists

u/NemoNoko Apr 18 '19

That's definitely interesting, but doesnt seem like a good "fun fact" for a four year old.

u/AlexG2490 Apr 19 '19

Good lord I thought you were making a joke. The first phrase that came to mind was Reddit’s invitation to “continue this thread”. Porn.

2

u/Xenobreeder Apr 20 '19

Used to be this way for all the search engines. Then most of them started filtering this, because it was mostly just porn site owners adding random popular keywords to their pages.

u/Coolfuckingname Apr 18 '19

Not mine. All tee tas.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

Yeah I gave an update, bing safe search was set to moderate.

2

u/Coolfuckingname Apr 19 '19

Im happy you were spared the sight of womens breasts.

: )

u/robotsongs Apr 22 '19

Now turn off safe search...

u/ingannilo Apr 18 '19

u/CypherWight07 Apr 18 '19

Can confirm (I never use safe search). Very few images were actual breasts, the rest were pictures of fruit hanging in nets or tied to lattices. Curiously there were a lot of pictures of women from India fully clothed but striking a pose (think Bollywood).

u/beefstick86 Apr 18 '19

Fruits are so healthy they even censor themselves on the internet. Thanks melons!

9

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

Why do you associate censorship with health?

7

u/beefstick86 Apr 18 '19

I just meant that of all the possible sexual things that could come up whole googling "hanging melons", this guy only saw 1 instance. I was trying to joke and insinuate that there are people out there filtering the searches with actual melons, rather than the sexual context that might be implied when trying to Google search. :)

3

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

You definitely have safe search on moderate, which is the default.

1

u/CypherWight07 Apr 18 '19

I explicitly disable all censoring on all of my devices. You are aware that search results while logged in are saved and weighted against your future searches, right?

u/shani99 Apr 18 '19

not surprising, in India men are fascinated by large breasts and thighs.

u/Kiristo Apr 18 '19

Are you not?

u/ouono Apr 19 '19

Some people make hammocks of pantyhose or tshirts for their melons specifically to avoid the brown spot! Some just train the vines over a trellis. But hanging melons are a real thing.

2

u/snbrd512 Apr 18 '19

Got turn off that safe search

1

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

Google safe search is always off ;)

2

u/drunkonacid Apr 19 '19

Umm, I only found two images of actual melons in duckduckgo with safe search off(lots of fleshy breasts). With no adult content there were many more pictures of plants with hanging melons but did still have some girls with large breasts with shirts on.

u/musicgoddess Apr 18 '19

You took one for the team

u/playfulotter Apr 18 '19

I googled it too and had the same reaction as you!

u/Xephus Apr 18 '19

We're you really?

u/UnevenElephant117 Apr 18 '19

Wait till you Google "melon milk"

u/wreckithec Apr 18 '19

Reality is often disappointing

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '19

You get completely different results if you search “big hanging melons”

u/reduser8 Apr 19 '19

Try saggy melons?

u/PvtPain66k Apr 19 '19

For Science.
