A fascinating new map has offered an insight into the collective psyche of residents in each of America's fifty states.
The map uses Google data to reveal the burning questions on the minds of American's in a state-by-state analysis.
Google Trends has regularly offered a strangely illuminating glimpse into what is on Americans' minds, and the data from 2016 is no exception.
The housing app Estately dug into the data and analyzed what individuals in each state across the U.S. disproportionately typed into Google's search bar, compared to their counterparts in other states.
The resulting map is not a measure of the most Googled questions across America, but rather a look at the unique deviations between states in what users are looking up.
Montana residents wanted to learn about Cupping therapy; people in Virginia wanted to see the Chardonnay Go! viral video; and in Massachusetts they wanted to know actor Robert De Niro's views on President-elect Donald Trump.
In Alabama, people wanted to know about Harper Lee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of To Kill a Mockingbird who died this year; and in New York people were concerned with the Panama Papers - the millions of leaked documents that detail financial and attorneyclient information for more than 200,000 offshore entities worldwide.
While in Georgia, people googled 'New Comey Letter', after the FBI director reopened the inquiry into Hillary Clinton's email server, and 'Harriet Tubman', the anti-slavery icon chosen to adorn new $20 bills.
Hungry Googlers in Missouri were keen to read more about McDonald's all day breakfast, a big move announced by the fast food chain in 2016; and in New Mexico people wanted to read up on Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president in 2016 who won zero electoral votes...

This tells me a lot about what previous “Presidents” were actually like. Their obvious planned absence tells me they must have a lot to hide and are definitely afraid, as they should be of what Trump might surface and do.
I believe Trumps election will surface a lot of corruption in all phases of U.S. Government (Presidencies included) that need to be brought to the surface.
But Mr. T is still alive.
That my dear is an understatement.
Did you notice Hawaii?
PizzaGate,
Do you think it might have anything to do with the growing concern about the two girls the obama’s have?
and they and their ilk in the fake news just keep irritating him, his family, his administration and his followers.
That’s Alaska, not Hawaii.
California: 2016 worst year ever?
Mmmm. Must be post-November 8 searches. I'm getting fat from liberal tears.
We can expect such behavior for the next 4-8 years. When Trump turns this ship around, there will still be the naysayers who will continue their harassment and irritations. It's what liberals do.
CA - LOL!
I don’t know. Could be.
IOW, the map is totally worthless.
Texas - Juan Gabriel. Never heard of him. Asked family here and no one has heard of him.
I had to Google Juan Gabriel to remind myself who he was. He was a Mexican vocalist who died earlier in the year. The only reason his name was familiar was he fell off the stage at a performance in Houston in 2014, breaking his neck. He apparently recovered enough from that injury to leave the hospital and subsequently seize up from a heart attack this past June.
I'm in Mobile and I would have guessed, - Roll Tide -
Albeit, I did look up Harper Lee/Monroeville as I thought about a trip there after Christmas with my son who is visiting from LA.
You’re right. Thanks, and to think my wife and I home school.
Same exact thing here.
Never heard of him.

My vote for the strangest: South Dakota/Elie Wiesel.
