This Is What America Was Most Thankful for This Year, State by State

For those interested in how they compiled the info, here’s what Facebook had to say:

We started by collecting a set of anonymized English status updates that contained “grateful” or “thankful,” as well as the word “day” preceded or followed by a number. These status updates were then aggregated and processed by a text-clustering algorithm so we could identify what people were grateful for.

One of the first things we discovered is that the people who participated in this challenge were overwhelmingly women: 90% of people who participated identified as female on their profile. There are a number of explanations for why this might be: women may be more likely to participate in challenges such as this; women may be more likely to nominate other women than men; women may be more willing to share what they are grateful for on Facebook; etc. To be clear, we think it is unlikely that women are actually more grateful than men.

Also, here’s a list of the top ten things people were most thankful for:

I do not see Vodka mentioned on here at all. Which is weird because I thanked Vodka many, many, many times on and before Thanksgiving. I guess this whole thing is just rigged against me.
