How do you waste your time on the Internet?

[Alzar]

I currently have two jobs that pay me for surfing the web and occasionally helping people.

However, I'm running out of ways to waste time on the internet.

Usually I do something ilke this:

1) www.pavilionboards.com
2) www.espn.com
3) www.fark.com
4) www.slashdot.com
5) fantasysports.yahoo.com
6) check friend's blogs
7) www.gamerankings.com
8) www.wikipedia.com
9) ....... www.pavilionboards.com (and repeat)

Any other ideas of giant time wasting sites that still hold interest?

5) www.msnbc.com
6) www.gamesarefun.com

Re: How do you waste your time on the Internet?

Yeah, for the most part, fark and slashdot are safe. Usually fark warns if the link is not work safe, and the fark boards are decently monitored.

Oh yes, imdb and penny-arcade! I love IMDB news. Lame accusation on an actor one day, the actors denial of the accusation the next day. Never sourced. Just great.

I forgot about:

www.bash.org

I waste far too much time here.

Sometimes I'll read transcripts of the Nixon-era tapes.Booooooooooring~

I check out Yahoo Japan auctions. Often I can buy things from over there and then re-sell them here.
Another snoozer~

I've been wondering how I should waste my time, actually. Thanks for reminding me of bash.org.

Me, I just read the archives at Achewood over and over.

I'm wasting time right now.

I also visit my favorite "dull humor" web comics, and a couple more serious ones.
Oh, and there's also homestarrunner.com.

Re: How do you waste your time on the Internet?

1) http://www.pavilionboards.com (I'm unoriginal)
2) http://www.wigu.com/ (Favorite webcomic, I also peruse its message board)
3) http://www.imdb.com/ (My favorite thing to do here is browse the "Memorable Quotes" from my favorite tv shows and movies)
4) http://www.penny-arcade.com/ (Yeah, alright)
5) http://www.cnn.com/ (Mainly the tech and science sections)
6) http://www.howstuffworks.com/ (Some of the stuff they talk about is pretty "duh," but there's enough interesting info there for me to frequent it)
7) http://www.dictionary.com/ (I just do)

I'm probably forgetting a lot of stuff. Oh well.

Re: How do you waste your time on the Internet?

-My LJ
-My friends' list on my LJ
-Achewood (Brought to you by ROOMBA! the Robotic Floor Vac)
-A-cho Amusement Center (maybe they have new videos up!)
-Errant Story (because I like it)
-Krakow 2.0 (only occasionally, not linked due to questionable WS status)
-Megatokyo (because it's like a horrible train wreck)
-This fabulous message board.
-WoW Doomhammer boards

Then I scroll through my unsorted bookmarks seeing if there's something I should check/read/delete.

So, uh, yeah.

I saw Megatokyo manga in a bookstore and almost pushed the shelf over.

Re: How do you waste your time on the Internet?

I usually perform in-depth research in numerous scientific fields so as to aid me in inventing that one cool thing stuck in my head and expand my general knowledge/satisfy my curiosity, not to mention keeping up with current events (I love you, RSS feed... multitasking wouldn't be the same without you).

Anycrap, aside from that, I visit numerous sites in no particular order. Amongst them are:

1. http://www.pavilioboards.com (we REALLY need a new URL)

It used to be good. What happened? I haven't read it in over a year.
