Every year, Google rounds up all the arcane crap that’s flowed through its internet portal, crunches the data, and tells us how badly we’ve misused the internet. Here’s 2015, you awful people.

Google’s list of top searches is exactly what you’d expect: just the right mix of breaking news events, surprise celebrities, and movies. Oh, and Fallout 4 sneaking in there at the end, presumably from desperate partners trying to work out what has stolen their loved ones.

Top Trending Searches

Lamar Odom

Jurassic World

American Sniper

Caitlyn Jenner

Ronda Rousey

Paris

Agario

Chris Kyle

Fallout 4

Straight Outta Compton

The list of people is also depressingly predictable. Remember, if we all stop Googling Donald Trump, there’s a very small (but worthwhile!) chance he may stop existing.
