The Top Internet Search: Can You Eat Expired Cheese?
That’s right, folks—the number one thing people are searching isn’t groundbreaking science or global news. It’s cheese. Experts believe this speaks to a collective fear of wasting food, but conspiracy theorists have a different take.
“You think it’s about dairy? Think again,” said Todd Grayson, host of the wildly popular podcast Fridge Conspiracies. “Big Cheese is tracking these searches to sell us more expensive ‘organic’ blocks. It’s all part of the lactose lobby’s plan to control our minds—and our bowels.”
Stranger Searches Lurking in the Shadows
It gets weirder. Other top searches include:
"Why does my cat stare at me while I sleep?"
"How to hide a body... hypothetically."
"Is my microwave spying on me?"
While some may laugh these off, psychologists warn they reveal a growing sense of paranoia. “The fact that people are Googling this at 3 a.m. suggests we’re teetering on the edge of a collective mental breakdown,” said Dr. Linda Sparrow, a sleep researcher.
The Rabbit Hole of 'Why Do I Smell Toast?'
Millions of searches each year are dedicated to this simple but terrifying question. Is it a harmless curiosity? Or are people unknowingly experiencing mass strokes? Medical experts say it’s probably fine—but theorists argue it could be aliens.
“If toast is a universal comfort food,” said one Reddit user, “then obviously aliens are beaming toast signals into our brains to keep us calm while they infiltrate Earth.”

The Internet’s Dark Secret: The Algorithm Is Laughing at You
The scariest part? The internet knows what you’re searching—and it’s silently judging. Ever noticed how you only have to type “why do” before it suggests exactly what you were thinking? Coincidence? Or a terrifying AI overlord monitoring your every insecurity?
“They’ve got you pegged,” said Marcus Wren, author of The Algorithm Apocalypse. “You search for one dumb thing, and next thing you know, your ads are all about self-help books and deodorant. Google’s not just predicting your searches—it’s shaping them.”
Why It’s Funny—But Also Horrifying
While it’s easy to laugh at our collective internet weirdness, this list shines a light on something darker: we’re a species obsessed with minor health issues, embarrassing habits, and inexplicable fears.
Consider these honorable mentions:
"Why does my dog lick the wall?"
"Can I marry a ghost?"
"How much hair is too much hair to lose?"
At first glance, they’re hilarious. But think about it: why are so many people losing their hair and falling in love with ghosts?
The Final Warning
As we laugh at these searches, remember: someone out there is typing them with genuine panic. So the next time you find yourself Googling “Can spiders lay eggs in my ears?”, stop and ask yourself—is it really the spiders you’re afraid of?
Or is it the terrifying, hilarious truth about what it means to be human in the age of the internet?
Good luck sleeping tonight. And no, eating expired cheese probably won’t kill you. Probably.
