I'm alone, bored and even MN cannot provide infinite entertainment.

Looking for inspiration.

Browse reddit, watch YouTube videos or Netflix is my usual

LanguidLobster · 23/10/2018 23:35

Oh, not MN? I listen to music or read the papers. Most of the blogs I liked have disappeared now.

BackforGood · 23/10/2018 23:44

Once I've exhausted MN and Facebook, then I like perusing the property websites.

Leurve mooching round other people's houses.

Sporcle geography quizzes. I can boss the US states, English counties and countries of Europe ones but i'm only up to 67% on countries of the world.

I quite like the odd game of Geoguessr.

Watching interviews with Adam Horowitz on youtube Blush

Random radio programmes off iplayer.

RagingWhoreBag · 23/10/2018 23:53

I flit between MN, Facebook and playing poker (not for real money) on a loop all evening. Definitely need some inspiration!

knapoli · 23/10/2018 23:59

I just remembered I Am Lost, which is great (and educational I tell myself). Sporcle games sound interesting! Love things like that.
I haven't got into Reddit, not sure how to use it?? Doesn't look very user friendly at a first glance.
