At the office or on vacation, same observation: you are bored like a dead rat. And again, the dead rat has the chance not to feel bored, and therefore not to feel frustrated by this boredom. But thank God, you have these top 12 friendly websites to save you when boredom overwhelms you.
1. Unnecessary knowledge
Savoir-inutile.com is a site that will allow you not only to spend your time, but also to shine in society! Scenario: you are at a dinner with your boss and his wife, silence settles between the chicken and the cheese. It is then that you can launch a useless knowledge like: “Did you know that with each sexual intercourse, the whale ejaculates approximately 1800 liters of sperm”. This will ensure you a promotion for sure.
2. Chuck Norris Facts
Do I really need to introduce this site? If you insist: chucknorrisfacts.fr is a site dedicated to the God of the geeks of this world. It compiles a series of facts about Her Majesty as hilarious as Chuck is tall.
3. Astronomy Picture Of The Day
Brought to you by NASA, Astronomy Picture of the Day brings you an amazing space photo every day. As a bonus, explanations of the pictures as well by a professional astronomer. They even have an Instagram account.
4. Akinator
Will you be able to outsmart the genius of the web? akinator.com knows how to read your mind, you just have to think of a character, a celebrity or even your neighbor, and it will guess who it is in a short series of questions. Sometimes, however, it fails. But hey, it’s not like he was programmed to really read your mind, it’s just a game…
5. IDRlabs
IDRlabs allows you to take fun and interesting tests and there is a wide variety of them. From simply knowing what Harry Potter character you are to the difficult person test, there are a lot of fun tests that you can take on this site.
6. Failblog
Attention, Anglophobes abstain. failblog.cheezburger.com is a melting pot (I told you not to!) of videos, images and other animated gifs that have one thing in common: they set a Fail scene. “Fail” means “failure”, which gives us a medley of hilarious images and videos of faceplants to die for.
7. Weave Silk
A site that wants you well because weavesilk.com can convince you that you are an outstanding artist thanks to the captivating symmetrical drawings that you can make with your mouse. Art is just a click away. Believe me, one gets caught up in the game very quickly.
8. Wikipedia
I know what you’re thinking, Wikipedia isn’t the most “fun” site in the world. This is without taking into account the “random article” function which allows you to come across any page. To illustrate my point I just clicked on this button and what did I come across? The “Optical Molasses” taught me that “An optical molasses is a gas of cold, three-dimensional neutral atoms, whose cohesive force is of the viscous type. Exciting, no.
9. The Useless Web
A site when you’re really at the bottom of the hole and you’re not afraid of the unknown since theuselessweb.com randomly redirects you to a totally WTF site.
10. Hacker Types
A site that bears its name well because hackertyper.com will allow you to make anyone believe that their computer has been hacked by the Russian mafia or that computers are on the way to take control of the Earth.
11. Duolingo
To learn new languages without pressure, taking your time, totally relaxed! Hahaha. Anyone who’s been there knows that duolingo.com is one of the most stressful applications possible, bordering on harassment.
12. Badger Badger Badger
There, I have nothing more to offer you. So if you like, you can keep your eyes glued to the video. She’s on a loop. You’re welcome.
