Can you recommend some websites to pass the time?

The King of Moo · 22-12-2015 8:14pm #1

Can you?

A lot of the internet seems to be off for Christmas already, so I find I'm not finding many interesting things to read.

And over Christmas I'll have more time to kill, so I'd very much appreciate if you have any recommendations for websites that you can sink some time into.

Thanks!

Listverse is the ALDI of the internet too, you can end up in all kinds of weird aisles.

I'm nearly finished YouTube, so will probably move on to liveleak over Christmas

A similar thread some time ago led me to Listverse, some fascinating hours can be spent there and it's not too taxing on the old broadband if you're depending on mobile. Cracked is too video oriented I find.

You mustn't kill time boys, you must cherish it! Seize the day...
Can I have some change to go get loaded?

Pay $10.00 one off sub for life- it is great but WARNING you must have a strong stomach.

Thanks, I usually have a look there, and I think they stay fairly active over Christmas.

Certainly interesting. I don't if engineering will sustain me long term, but there's some good stuff there.

That's my kind of site: I prefer to receive information in either list or quiz form!

It's only missing a speaking clock!

Listverse is a funny one: there's lots of really interesting stuff, but then you find some very niche and opinionated lists.

Snopes.com for interesting urban myths-which are true and which are genuine myths.

This fellow's OK but he had more charm a few years ago before he did the video things

If you've time to kill, read books.

Most of my usual haunts have been said already, so I'll throw in Scandinavia and the World - a weekly comic by Humon.

Beware some of the NSFW ones, I showed it to my brother and unfortunately the first several clicks on random brought up some 'dodgy' ones. Mostly though, they're pithy commentary on history or current affairs between a bunch of countries as people.

A good image site that will keep you lingering for a while.

Been with that forum for a long time so luckily avoided the fee when it was introduced, one of my favourite places to go and it's not because of it's graphic content.

If you were to ignore that section to it, it has other sub-forums that are actually choc-ful of interesting subjects from funny and bizarre medical stories to really fascinating vintage stuff you don't hear of elsewhere. A lot of the regulars there work in the medical profession too so they tend to come out with highly interesting posts.

A spot I check into every now and again is EnglishRussia.com

It focuses on the bizarre side of all things Russian, including a lot of stuff on abandoned Soviet-era buildings and towns / cities or just plain weird people that inhabit that land.

Haven't been there in a while and it seems they changed the layout for the worse, 2 pics per page is bullshít. They never used to do that (ad revenue I guess) but a lot of the articles are very interesting nonetheless.
