It's that time of the year again, putting the important parts into review. Kicking it off Pornhub style. Billions of yearly visits with more breakdowns then you ever wanted to know or could shake a stick at on a per country level.

It seems only a brave editor is willing to promote this story, but as I think I was the guy who submitted the 2017 equivalent, which was both amusing and informative, I have no problem picking out some highlights. Some redactions have been necessary to keep SN SFW, obviously -- FP.

All that high definition video means a lot of data gets pumped out by Pornhub’s servers every day. In 2018, we transferred [redacted] Petabytes of data, which equates to [redacted] per second. That’s more bandwidth than the entire internet consumed in [redacted]!

When they’re not busy watching videos, Pornhub’s users enjoy socializing, with nearly [redacted] private messages sent and [redacted] video comments left. The most often used words in Pornhub comments include lots of feel good terms such as [redacted]. More than [redacted] people took the time to vote for their favorite videos, which incidentally is more people than [redacted].

Every minute, [redacted] new visitors arrive at Pornhub, [redacted] videos are watched and [redacted] searches are performed. [redacted] of those video views are of [redacted], which is still Pornhub’s most watched video of all time at [redacted] views.

    Humans have historically been willing to get it on with anything that they could. Neanderthals wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. Consider sheep, e.g. I know of historically recent reports of a man choosing to get it on with a mare. (FWIW, he was British upper class. But that probably just meant he had easy access.)

    For that matter, a large number of people of both sexes get it on with plastic objects that have no obvious gross similarity to a partner of the same species. (Detailed similarity is necessary for comfort, so doesn't count.)

    And you can still tell who they are, because they all work for Boeing or Northrop-Grumman.

    Being the Prince of Wales indeed has such privileges.

      Well, the time period I was thinking of was the early 1900's, and the particular individual wasn't royal. And saw no reason to keep his habit any particular secret. (I don't know enough about him to assert that horses were his main interest...but I suppose it's possible.)
