scroll lemmy/bsky/hn, watch anime
I’m doing one right now, and you’re reading it. Other times I write scenarios for my D&D campaign, do 3d printing, and wiring/coding for IoT devices. Also making cookies. Also eating the cookies.
Recently I’ve been solving mystery geocaches (puzzles so you find the coordinates for the cache)
Play the guitar or harmonica, design a boardgame or a ttrpg, play videogames, check lemmy/youtube/nebula, be in my head. But I’m seldom bored, more like “if I have free time for some minutes”.
I don’t have a lot of time for the boredom I so desperately deserve, but in my rare instances of free time I often think of immanetizing the Eschaton.
Time for leisure is great. Read a book, play an instrument, daydream, learn something new, challenge your beliefs about whether certain institutions are beneficial or not, take a walk, ask someone in a position of authority subversive questions, fly a kite, take a nap.
You mean besides masturbate?
perhaps they take that as a given and mean ‘after’
I used to eat out of boredom, and I gained a lot of weight. Then I took up the guitar during Covid. Now when I get bored, and tempted to eat something, I pick up the guitar and start playing. Soon I forget that I was bored, and forget about eating. I’ve lost 85 pounds, and I’m still losing.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, we have a winner. Close this thread.
I scroll Lemmy.
Embrace boredom, that’s where the best ideas come from.
I watch birds. I’m not even that old. But birds can be interesting.
Dude. I started feeding birds in my garden around 3 years ago, I wasnt even that interested in birds, now I have a shit load of regulars and I love watching those little bastards.
Really? how so?
Honest question.
You can see the different personalities between species and between individual birds. They are often smarter than you would think.
The same way anything can be interesting.
Sort Lemmy by new
I never feel bored. The closest, I guess, is feeling lost and not motivated for anything or stressed and jumpy between things.
In those cases or more when I don’t “have anything to do” in general, I open Lemmy, or YouTube, or watch anime or some series, read manga, or watch documentaries. Depending on motivation and mood I open games or do open source or personal project work. Sometimes open specific news or test websites, or my RSS feed accumulator. Or do whatever else is open to do.
Games. Board or video.
Usually with an old TV series in the background.
And Kitty time. Can’t forget them!
I’ve recently started watching Columbo and it’s actually a great series to have on in the background.
We’re at the last season of Malcom in the Middle.
How have I never seen this until now?! Such a good show, and as we were about halfway through the series, they announced a reunion season coming out soon. (Just like every other show, but this one I’m actually excited to see) Talk about perfect timing!
