Boredom Busters
Boredom Busters just for you! Tired of endlessly scrolling social media to combat your boredom? Ever wished there was something you could do on the internet while waiting for an appointment, commuting to work or trying to kill time in the laundromat? Check out these endlessly entertaining websites and apps that will give you something fun when there’s nothing else going on.
Viral Videos
One of the best ways to fill your time is to watch viral videos; no matter your mood, odds are there’s one that’s right from you. Whether it’s inspiring or funny, embarrassing or wacky, Jukin Media is the place to go to find all the top viral videos. From videos of pets and toddlers to fails and rescues, you’ll find what you’re looking for on the Jukin Media website. Watch, re-watch and share with your friends so they can get a laugh too.
Virtual Tours
World-famous museums now have virtual tours available so you can browse their collection to your heart’s content. From art museums like the Guggenheim in New York City or the Chateau de Versailles in Paris, your imagination is your limit. You can even visit zoos all over the world to see animals you’ve only ever read about without ever needing to leave your chair or pay admission.
Home Hunting
One of American’s favorite pastimes is to live vicariously by browsing real estate listings. Have you always dreamed of living in a tropical paradise with turquoise waters lapping at your feet? Do you want to step off your deck, strap on your skis and swoosh down the mountain? Want to see how the other half live or laugh at some unique design choices? With the internet, it’s as easy as searching for homes for sale and you’ll soon be clicking away with imaginary multi-million-dollar house buying budgets.
Test Taker
Have you ever wondered which famous fairy tale character you would be or wanted to test your geography or world history skills? There are numerous online quizzes out there to test your knowledge and skills or to classify you into various personality types. Whether it’s learning about which storybook characters you’d be most compatible with or seeing just how deep your knowledge of pop culture can go, there is a quiz out there to fit your mood and time constraints. Just search and explore your inner self.
Expand Your Knowledge
If you’ve always wanted to read some famous classics like War and Peace, Moby Dick or Jane Eyre, now is the perfect time. Books like these are all available for free due to the expiration of their copyright protection. Simply search for that book that has been on your list for years, but you’ve never found the time to dive into, download and read on the go whenever you get the chance.
No matter what strikes your fancy, there is something out there on the internet that will be perfect to break you out of your stupor. Whether it’s a hilarious video that everyone’s been talking about or the chance to add some culture to your humdrum life, you’ll find the perfect solution online.

good day did a little shopping at walmart and krogers using a handi cap cart. I noticed that walmart at a LOT of empty shelves. BUT they must have just got trucks in because there were pallets of boxes all over the store.

I can’t remember the last time I felt bored! There’s always something to think about, make a list about or just sitting doing nothing!
