Websites to kill time

[p1t1o]

In my downtime I sometimes like to kill a half hour or so checking out some websites that are regularly updated with short, easily digestible things. These may be news articles, lists of interesting stuff, you know the like.

Listverse is good. Gizmodo isn't exactly high on the "quality" list but updates often and usually has at least a couple interesting pictures/gifs. This forum, naturally. Snopes is excellent.

 

Anyone know any others worthy of note? Any diamonds in the rough?

I think I saw Nono from Planetes there.

The Lunarian, and the subtitles said 'I'm not very good with computers...', which I remember her saying. Weird!

If you are after not just killing time but absolutely massacre it, I will suggest notpron, an old online riddle game of pretty monumental magnitude and difficulty but one that will see you learn a whole lot you might not know beforehand.

 

Disclaimer: It's been years since I played it but I do believe it is still online.

What have you done.

I was trying to be productive reading the Planetes manga.

I love to spend time reading - and turning blue from lack of oxygen because I'm laughing so hard - the Gallery of Regrettable Food. James Lileks is a chef, and has the odd hobby of collecting old cooking periodicals. He has a large list of bad cookbooks from the '40's though the '70's and writes hysterically funny write-ups on the offered recipes. I particularly like the 'Knudsen' section; I collapse in laughter every time.

Zooniverse.org

You can do 

[ZooNamedGames]

This is more of an office toy in the same fashion as a drinking bird or a Newton's Cradle, but it's fun nonetheless to watch.

http://rednuht.org/genetic_cars_2/

http://rednuht.org/genetic_walkers/

The first one is a procedurally set of cars that spawn and change based on algorithms. There isn't much interactivity, all you can do is change the gravity for the most part. It's still fun to leave on over a week and watch.

The second is a set of bipedal walkers that try to walk based on an algorithm. This one has even less interactivity, but again like said above, it's fun to leave on and watch their progress.

@ZooNamedGames nice i love these types of,programs the 3d onees get insane

Can't believe no one's mentioned r.sine.com!

Every time you visit, it presents a random image from god knows where, often either funny, disgusting, or just plain weird. Some interesting stuff is to be had there, too. 

[Ethanadams]

Warningnfor r.sine.com some of the stuff is very very nsfw so be ████████████
