Google – The world’s most polite stalker disguised as your helpful librarian

Google unveiled its latest initiative: pre-thinking your thoughts for you. Dubbed “Searchless Search,” the new feature auto-answers questions you never knew you had, based on your breathing patterns and Wi-Fi-connected smart underwear. CEO Sundar Pichai reassured users: “We respect your privacy. We merely predict and monetize your inner monologues.” Meanwhile, Google’s lawyers are preemptively suing future competitors by reading their dreams. Early beta testers report mixed reactions: some loved receiving a coupon for anti-anxiety tea moments after panicking internally, while others were disturbed when Google Assistant whispered, “We know,” during therapy sessions. Congress held hearings where senators once again demonstrated they think Google is a small bookstore in Oregon. Google, unbothered, announced its next goal: indexing the concept of free will itself, monetized through contextual ads for existential dread. Search is dead; Long live Search!
