It seems that many people nowadays get bored. At home, at work, at school, wherever people are, there is also boredom. Clever marketers speculated this large pool of bored guys and girls, by giving them an occupation online. Some others, bored themselves to death, decided to gather all resources for bored people and put them on a site in the benefit of the community.
Others imagined lists of things to do when you are bored. Unbelievable, they are even rated in terms of amusement potential!
This is an example:
Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you were trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.
If it happens to you to get bored at work, there is an online remedy even for this.
Bored students also have their share of the world wide web.
Somebody even put together a list of 474 things to do when you are bored. I wonder who doesn’t get bored until they reach the end of the list.
Middle-aged women are getting hooked on card games and puzzles online, says a report quoted by BBC News. So there is now a cure also for bored housewives.
As this tends to become quite a boring post, all that’s left to say is here.
