    Nope. If anything they see shocks them, a) that’s their problem, not mine and b) serves them right for snooping

    I have a habbit of searching my own name a few times a week and sorting by new, to check if my name appears somewhere. It makes sense to me, but I would be self-conscious about it if someone asked me why tf I am looking myself up so often as if I’m famous

      My full name is the same as that of a comic book character in an obscure comic book. I don’t have any major social media accounts, so most of the results that come up are of that character.

    Dear police officers: I’m sure you’re excited to begin your journey learning all about electronic engineering and product design!

    If you have any questions, drop by any time and I’ll be happy to help. I hope you find these hobbies as rewarding as I do.

    I’m sure they’d be thrilled to look into my wanting better turn signals for my car and turn signals at all for my bike.

    Only a scrub would search something embarrassing and not delete it afterwards, or just use a web browser that deletes it every session

      or they live alone and never share their devices with anyone.

      or they live openly & freely and DGAF what other people think about their browsing history

      But now you’ve put a song in my head 🤣

    My search history is permanently deleted every time I close the browser. So no, I wouldn’t be embarassed at the 20 or so searches I did today

    My recorded search history is so boring. If I have to search for anything sketchy or where I wouldn’t want to be inundated with ads related to the search, I do it incognito so the search isn’t stored.

      Your recorded history may not be stored locally. Would be shocking if Google didn’t have some way of de-anonymizing searches.

    To be honest law enforcement (at least in the IT department of things) would be pretty used to anything at this point so why feel embarrassed?

    You’ll probably be added to a tally on the wall listed with examples such as: ‘How to blow your own dick?’ or ‘Another Bronie.’ or ‘Wiki rabbit hole addict.’
