It sorta depends. One of the toughest things is when im waiting on things and could be disrupted at any moment. So sometimes I don't want to get into a show or video game which are my go to. I oftentimes try to get tasks done like dishes or laundry.

Smoke or read, sometimes both in the case of doom scrolling.

I also listen to podcasts and go for bikerides (with a destination in mind like food) currently one known as fall of civilizations has my attention

I sleep. It's the closest to be distant from the boredom of existence.

[–] jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Well if we're here seeing the post and responding...guess

Lemmy, lose terribly at pinball, excessively long walks when I have the time, check out live music if something cool is happening that won't bankrupt me, pot (due for a long break soon), drink (same), read random stuff online, watch movies (usually hilariously bad ones), maybe clean my house.

Kinda need to branch out, tbh.

Browse Lemmy, play games, or even do programming.

Zazen. If the mind is empty, there is no one to be bored.

😂 It's the adult form of my biblically accurate angel OC, Goodie! He's not a bad guy, just a tad mischievous... here's an old drawing I did of his larval form! 😃 Full resolution drawing here Progress pictures here

That is really cool and slightly terrifying.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Hehe, thank you! 😃

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I also basically never get bored. If I am put into a situation that other people would find boring, I tend to get lost in my thoughts or daydream.

If that's not an option, I often find that I don't get bored even just doing simple tasks that others would find boring.

The only time I ever generally feel bored is if I am somehow required to do a truly mind numbing task, like wait for something to happen, and I am forcing myself to pay attention.

[–] Elextra@literature.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

Same. Too little time and so much to do

[–] PoorYorick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Usually play guitar, play around in blender, or code. It sounds backward, but boredom does wonders for my creative side.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Skim Lemmy and now Bluesky, play solitaire games, watch videos, go for a walk, contemplate the meaninglessness of existence, write, play video games, work (if I'm at work)

when i get to the point i think i am bored i think "maybe i am tired?" or "maybe i am hungry" or "maybe i need to unwind?" and it is surely one of those.

afaik, never really experienced pure boredom.

[–] Please_Do_Not@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Listen to a record, read (books, comics, articles, anything), walk, watch TV, cook, text a friend, maybe even play a level of Portal or a word game, or just lie down if that's the mood.

Satisfactory recently took over my free time. ALL of it.

Otherwise I have coding projects, CAD/printing projects, electronics projects, D&D session planning, and (of course) Lemmy/Mastodon.

Go on Lemmy and rant in an echo chamber.

Or alternatively. Continuing reading SCPs and hope I don't get creeped out this time. (Spoilers, I will get creeped out again)

(My favorite SCP is 2935 btw. Awesome read.)

Or watch youtube videos. Veritasium is good (they did have some sponsorship controversy in the past, keep that in mind)

I sometimes rewatch old Jacksepticeye videos for nostalgia.

Occasionally I check to see if theres any new movies or TV series to watch.

The last I watched is For All Mankind, an alt-history on the premise of "What if the USSR won the race to the moon?", very intriguing. Hoping they'll have a new season soon, there is still a lot of story to be wrapped up.

I also check to see if The Expanse got renewed, although at this point I doubt it ever will.

I'm honestly running out of things to do.

Maybe I should go outside lol... right into the toxic gasoline exhausts of the many cars passing by, which just reminds me of climate change and makes me depressed...

What do y'all even do? I'm constantly bored...

[–] kava@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

i feel like only people with too much free time get bored

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Lemmy, play games, listen to music, learn music,
