You mean besides masturbate?
Embrace the boredom, that’s where the best ideas come from.
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.
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.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, we have a winner. Close this thread.
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.
I scroll Lemmy.
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.
I don’t remember the last time I was bored lol
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.
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. 😔
Read, watch TV/movies/YouTube, play video games, take the dog for a walk, work on one of my many hobbies that I’ve been neglecting, see if any of my friends wants to do something, take a nap, listen to music,
And if I get really bored, there’s probably something I’m supposed to be cleaning or some other chore that needs attention
Usually either put on a record, take the dog for a walk, or diddle the skittle
Watch a movie, listen to music while browsing lemmy, or take a nap. If there’s something that needs to be done like repairs or chore, I do that too.
