The real estate website 聽has a new study of what each state in the nation Googled most frequently this past year.

“We used Google Trends to measure the frequency that people in each state Google the events, terms, movies, TV shows, organizations, people, cultural phenomena, and controversies that made news in 2016,”聽a Thursday.

Hawaii’s top query was “supermoon,” apparently referring to in 68 years that rose last month.

All told, Hawaii was tops for the following search queries:

Pok茅mon GO! (mobile game) / Bhumibol Adulyadej (late King of Thailand) / Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016 film) / Moana (2016 film) / Christina Grimmie (singer who passed in 2016) / Nate Diaz (MMA fighter who both won and lost to Conor McGregor in 2016) / fanny pack / paddleboarding / Rodrigo Duterte (President of the Philippines) / supermoon

By nearly every measure 2016 was an absolute garbage year, a stretch of time that would have best been taken out back and shot,” the press release states.

No argument there.
