I used to eat out of boredom, and I gained a lot of weight. Then I took up the guitar during Covid. Now when I get bored, and tempted to eat something, I pick up the guitar and start playing. Soon I forget that I was bored, and forget about eating. I’ve lost 85 pounds, and I’m still losing.
You mean besides masturbate?
Embrace boredom, that’s where the best ideas come from.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, we have a winner. Close this thread.
Sometimes I lie down and listen to music or a long video, sometimes I play with my dog, sometimes I just rest, or play some games from my backlog.
I scroll Lemmy.
I never feel bored. The closest, I guess, is feeling lost and not motivated for anything or stressed and jumpy between things.
In those cases or more when I don’t “have anything to do” in general, I open Lemmy, or YouTube, or watch anime or some series, read manga, or watch documentaries. Depending on motivation and mood I open games or do open source or personal project work. Sometimes open specific news or test websites, or my RSS feed accumulator. Or do whatever else is open to do.
Being bored is not a bad thing. If by being bored you mean ‘not doing something’ and not being ‘busy’ because then it means one can start thinking by oneself. Something that seems to be severely lacking in our so modern and so constantly busy societies.
If you want to know what are my usual activities, beside welcoming boredom, I would say: read, write, paint, go out for a walk (that’s amazing too, for the body as well as the mind), spend time with my spouse, making stuff with my hands.
I watch birds. I’m not even that old. But birds can be interesting.
Dude. I started feeding birds in my garden around 3 years ago, I wasnt even that interested in birds, now I have a shit load of regulars and I love watching those little bastards.
Really? how so?
Honest question.
You can see the different personalities between species and between individual birds. They are often smarter than you would think.
The same way anything can be interesting.
Sort Lemmy by new
Games. Board or video.
Usually with an old TV series in the background.
And Kitty time. Can’t forget them!
I’ve recently started watching Columbo and it’s actually a great series to have on in the background.
We’re at the last season of Malcom in the Middle.
How have I never seen this until now?! Such a good show, and as we were about halfway through the series, they announced a reunion season coming out soon. (Just like every other show, but this one I’m actually excited to see) Talk about perfect timing!
Lately…eat out of boredom. I’ve been trying to curb it, but not succeeding. I’ve got 8 days off starting tomorrow. Not looking good for my waistline. 😔
I don’t remember the last time I was bored lol
Usually either put on a record, take the dog for a walk, or diddle the skittle
