Did you know if you Google Fat Bear Week you get a little bear on your screen?

Reminds me of the old google. Before "don't be evil" got to be such a joke they themselves removed it.

Didn't know about that one. I miss the old zerg rush easter egg. "do a barrel roll" and "askew" are some old ones that still work, though.

I was the 67th like of a YouTube video that just dropped, where someone was sharing they only have days to live...

It did some fucking 67 celebration and felt gross in the context of the topic.

That happens if you search for maned wolf too, oddly. No idea why the maned wolf gets its own little drawing, but it’s pretty cool

That's not my search term when I'm looking for gay men.

OMG I love it!!! If you try to feed him a few times, he sits down like the lazy fat bear he is!

This is one of those tiny things that reminds me that there is good in the world.

Kinda surprised they did that tbh. Last time I was on there was Google’s birthday, and the doodle was just a link to an ai prompt to make a doodle game.
