One of the most fascinating things I discovered in Google Trends is when I input queries that correlate with the work week. No matter which query I use, there is a weird pattern that tends to arise that I still have not figured out, and cannot really find any explanation for. While there is the normal Monday-Friday humps, ironically "hump day" (Wednesday) consistently has a small divet in the hump. Almost all queries related to the work week, have a strange dip midweek, turning each week into a two-hump camel. Now I am not aware of any country whose sabbatical is on Wednesday, so I'm not quite sure what is causing what appears to be a definite correlation, and why I cannot seem to find any explanation for it. Perhaps Wednesday is so commonly taken off, that it shows in the data? Would really love for someone to give me an explanation for this, as it's been making me scratch my head for several months since I've noticed it. It's very subtle, but it is a noticeable trend, and I really cannot seem to explain why work-week-correlated queries dip midweek. Edit: the query in the image below is "kubernetes"
