As a Google user, sometimes you're a Colorado and sometimes you're a Wisconsin. Meaning, sometimes you want to learn more about the Syrian civil war and sometimes you just want to get hip with the kids and you have to Google: "What does bae mean?" 

That's what we learned from Estately's annual list of what each state Googled more than any other state. And looks like Wisconsin is asking the really important questions, meaning they searched for the definition of "bae" the most out of all 50 states.

"Estately ran hundreds of search terms through Google Trends to discover what people in each state searched for more with more frequency than people in any other state," the site explains. You'll see a lot of the usual suspects on the list, like Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift and Donald Trump. But you'll also basically see a recap of what Americans cared about in 2015, like marriage equality, weed legalization, Deflategate and all the tragic terrorist attacks that happened around the world.
