Fun/interesting things to do on the internet..

*BananaMonkey**BananaMonkey* Posts: 5,462 Part of The Furniture
Heya guys :wave:

So I have today off work and I am a bit bored, so I ranted to James in PM about how bored I was, so he suggested I start a thread about fun and interesting things to do on the internet.

I usually just chat to friends on social media, and watch vids on youtube. I sometimes google random stuff, like cute monkey pictures. I spend the majority of my time online either on TheSite, and social media sites.

Soo.. what do you guys get up to on the internet to pass the time?
" And everywhere I am, there you'll be, your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you "
" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

    If I'm on comp I tend to use TheSite the whole time, sometimes I will check another site and I watch certain YouTuber's :)

    Lululul! - The best thing to do when you're bored, is get yourself off the internet and do something xD - I find myself getting bored just being on the internet, however, the internet holds the world of movies, which I, as a student, spend far to much time watching, waterloo road tonight, eh?!

    However, I tend to use the internet for, TheSite, obviously, SNS, couldn't give without social media and the joys of YouTube - You kinda end up growing out of online gaming, I also love blogging! - You used to have a Tumblr blog, didn't you Claire??!

    I spend far to much time on Tumblr, lululul! - But it's like the best thing ever, and it's like these posts can like talk for you, if you get what I mean? Like posts can describe your feelings when you can't describe them yourself, and all that m'larky, have you ever found that? I also love talking to people online xD - I don't think I've ever gone a day without actually talking to someone online :p - Maybe you should start a chat thread? :o #BanterCentral - Got plans for Christmas?

    A lot of the time when I'm on the internet I spend my time on tumblr, Pinterest and YouTube. Or talking to my friends who don't live around here, it's always nice to have a catch up with them :)

    Here, FB, twitter, reading interesting articles... or being offline doing other stuff.

    When I was really bored the other week I started doing Sporcle quizzes which were quite fun!

    Oh my god I love Sporcle, I used to do loads with my old housemates but it's not so much fun by myself.

    Umm, I read articles, go on Tumblr a lot, there are lots of free language learning sites that I use (pretty geeky but I don't care), inane Buzzfeed lists/quizzes/articles if I'm procrastinating or a bit gloomy, and Netflix!

    This thread wasn't about me being bored in the first place, it's just a cool thread for people to share what they get up too.

    I know I said in the thread I wrote it cos I was bored, but it wasn't aimed for people to just be like 'go offline'

    APOD! I'm sure I may have mentioned this before... Astronomy Picture of the Day.. you can just keep scrolling to past images - not only are they often really stunning but you can also learn science ;)
