A list of top 12 weird¹ searches revealed by Baidu, the leading search engine in China, boomed recently, showing the wild imagination of Chinese web users.

 

国内搜索引擎巨头百度公布了奇葩搜索问题前12名排行榜，这份近日备受关注的榜单展示了国内网友的奇葩脑洞。
 

 

Have you ever wondered "if you hold in a fart, where does it go?" According to Baidu, it exits out the mouth and nose. When people hold in gas it will absorb into the intestinal² wall and then mix with the blood. Then the gas comes out through the mouths -- the higher end of the digestive track.

 

"Why can't I stop picking at acne?" raised the second biggest question mark. Baidu says the reason is obsessive-compulsive disorder³. People with this mental disorder feel the need to repeatedly touch and squeeze their pimples⁴ until their anxiety is relieved by the repeated movements. This may also occur in people who are perfectionists or in those who are obsessed⁵ with their looks.

 

According to the data, people from 20 to 40 years old are curious why their snoring doesn't wake them up. According to Baidu, their brains ignore the information so they can have a good rest.

 

Some wanted to know: "Will mosquitoes still bite if I put a bowl of blood next to my bed?" Baidu says yes, as the bowl of blood will cool down and mosquitoes are attracted to heat.

 

There were also questions that Baidu was unable to answer, such as: "Why does my daughter look ugly?" According to Baidu's data, Libras are most likely to search this question. Many users on Baidu Knows comfort those who ask this question by saying "beauty is not everything" or "your daughter might be more beautiful when she blossoms into womanhood."
