We are all doubtless bored online from time to time, but this however is completely ridiculous. There are millions upon millions of websites out there. If you can't find one to entertain yourself then you aren't looking in the right places.

The classic time killer is just to play some free online flash games and such. All you really need for that is www.addictinggames.com and you're good to go, hundreds at your finger tips.

If you're looking for a laugh or two simply googling "funny stuff" would net countless sites that have massive collections of funny videos and things like that. This can often be arduous though, sometimes forcing you to weed through numerous crappy videos just for a cheap laugh. It's always good to find specific sites that perhaps focus on a single idea, series, or character. A decent site that many probably haven't heard of is http://suziecocktail.com/ It's basically a series of trippy videos about a girl who seems just a little crazy trying to teach you various life lessons or something to that effect. It's definitely amusing, and can keep you occupied for a bit.

Perhaps learn something new. Go to Wikipedia and click on random a few times until something catches your eye, or just read everything. Go to ehow.com or wikihow.com to gain a new skill. An amusing and quite helpful site is also soyouwanna.com, which is definitely worth a look.

Why not consider starting a blog? It's always a good forum to express your ideas and you might learn a little about yourself. It could just be for personal purposes or it could be means to teach others, or simply find other people who you can ideologically relate to or whom you can simply exchange opinions with.

Then of course there are those sites which are just pleasantly amusing. Try going to fml.com (* my life) which is a site where people share humorous anecdotes of the distresses of everyday life. There is of course the counterpart site gmh.com (gives me hope) as well which offers uplifting anecdotes from our daily shenanigans. There is also the ever classic textsfromlastnight.com a compendium of embarassing, strange, awkward, or otherwise funny texts people find in their phones from, well, last night.

This is really the beginning of what one can do to amuse themselves online, but these sites alone should be enough to amuse you for days.
