It ’s a hypothetical interrogation that everybody gets asked at some point – what would you do if you found out you have only hours left to live ?
The answer to that is , of course , scare . When a false missile qui vive went off last week in Hawaii , masses rushed for storm drain and shelters as you ’d bear .
I would like to propose a novel divinatory interrogation : What do you do when you find out you actually do n’t have just hours to live , and everything is in fact ok ?
Well , that too has been answered . It turn out the answer to that question is " furiously masturbate " .
Pornhub has discharge datashowing that from the minute the missile alarum went out , traffic to their website drop by almost 80 percent in Hawaii . Of course , there were still people who decided to plow on through ( or else they had n’t get word the alert due to being , hem , " occupied " ) but there was a vast cliff - off , far below their common traffic grade for a Saturday .
This is n’t that surprising . call back you ’re about to be kill by a missile is n’t , as far as we know , a kink .
What add up next , however , was unexpected . When the second message go out – the one that tell apart them it was a false alerting and they were n’t going to die after all – there was a huge spate in traffic to the site .
Pornhub released this handy chart showing its traffic story during the whole shenanigans .
At 8:45am local time , the correction was issued and you may see traffic crawl back up . By 9:01am there was a sudden spike , just when people had clip to return from their storm drain and get comfortable . At the peak of its traffic , the site was seeing 50 percent more hits than on an average , non - missiley , Saturday .
The Internet erotica giant has no data on why there was this sudden rush of people doing the five frank dance , of course . It could be a celebratory " I ’m animated , and oh look – so are my genitals ! " or purely a elbow room to relieve emphasis , we ’ll probably never cognize .
This is n’t the only interesting information revealed by Pornhub , who regularly release interesting tidbits . A few week ago , it share data depict that masses stopped touching themselves long enough to see the nifty American Eclipse .
Which is nice .
