On January 13, the residents of Hawaii were scared out of their wits when a text message warned that a ballistic missile was heading for the archipelago. Thousands of families dropped everything to seek shelter or flee, expecting an imminent explosion that could wipe everything out. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and calm returned quickly. But within a few minutes, something very peculiar became apparent: After the false nuclear alarm, Pornhub reported a record number of visits from Hawaii.

After the false alarm, the servers reported a record number of visits from Hawaii.

The chart shows that during the alert, Pornhub's servers detected a 77% drop in the number of viewers from Hawaii, as users closed their browsers to take cover or flee. Once the state of Hawaii reported that it was a false alarm, the calm returned, and here's the most striking part: within minutes, the servers recorded a 48% increase in viewers, a record that surprised Pornhub. It seems the threat of a missile created almost unbearable tension for the island's residents, who had no better idea than to take refuge on their favorite adult site to relax for a while.
