Wank

I watch birds. I'm not even that old. But birds can be interesting.

Sort Lemmy by new

Games. Board or video.

Usually with an old TV series in the background.

And Kitty time. Can't forget them!

Lately…eat out of boredom. I’ve been trying to curb it, but not succeeding. I’ve got 8 days off starting tomorrow. Not looking good for my waistline. 😔

I don't remember the last time I was bored lol

You mean besides masturbate?

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.

nap

I read an obscene amount of science fiction and play a lot of classic wow.

Usually either put on a record, take the dog for a walk, or diddle the skittle

Being bored is not a bad thing. If by being bored you mean 'not doing something' and not being 'busy' because then it means one can start thinking by oneself. Something that seems to be severely lacking in our so modern and so constantly busy societies.

If you want to know what are my usual activities, beside welcoming boredom, I would say: read, write, paint, go out for a walk (that's amazing too, for the body as well as the mind), spend time with my spouse, making stuff with my hands.

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.

Embrace boredom, that's where the best ideas come from.

Customize Android root stuff, watch anime, play videogames, that has been my life as of lately.

Put things into other things. Take things out of other things. Push stuff. Sleep. Look at stuff.

Play music, read a book, draw something, play a game, or watch a movie.

Can’t say that happens frequently enough for me to have a set thing to do.

The list of things that need to get done never seems to get shorter. So I’m usually working though my todo list. Recreation time has to be scheduled sadly.

Read, watch TV/movies/YouTube, play video games, take the dog for a walk, work on one of my many hobbies that I've been neglecting, see if any of my friends wants to do something, take a nap, listen to music,

And if I get really bored, there's probably something I'm supposed to be cleaning or some other chore that needs attention

scroll lemmy/bsky/hn, watch anime

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".

Take a walk/with a fur baby, play with/pet a fur baby, clean (always something), nap, video, read, scroll, meditate/pray, talk to a neighbor.

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.

I wish that I had the luxury to be bored.

Watch a movie, listen to music while browsing lemmy, or take a nap. If there’s something that needs to be done like repairs or chore, I do that too.

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.

Sometimes I lie down and listen to music or a long video, sometimes I play with my dog, sometimes I just rest, or play some games from my backlog.

Mostly make stuff. With lego, 3D printing, video editing, line rider, beat saber, html and css, Krita, writing, and whatever else I need for a project. I also like playing board games and video games like celeste, tetris, and blue prince.

Text around see who else is home and bored. Time to not be at home.

If that fails, scroll scroll scroll then maybe some gaming (marvel rivals and death stranding right now)
