How do you kill time?

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

How do you kill time?

Post by kiwiincambodia »

As the title, what websites do you use to waste time when you have nothing else to do?

My top would be,
CEO - we all know this one.
9GAG - http://9gag.com/
Cheezeburger - http://www.cheezburger.com/
27bslash6 - http://27bslash6.com/
The best of Tumblr - http://best-of-tumblr.tumblr.com/
K440 - we all know this one as well.

My chrome most visited are all Khmer! Here in order;
Arey News http://www.arey-news.com
Kampuchea Thmey http://kampucheathmey.com
DAP news http://www.dap-news.com
Koh Santepheap http://www.kohsantepheapdaily.com.kh/category/local/ (although that's dropping down the list since they started annoying/faulty timed overlaid adverts)
Hang Meas News http://hangmeasdaily.com
CEN News http://www.cen.com.kh/home?layout=normal (actually my favourite Khmer news site, but not really mobile friendly so not good for a quick browse)
Nokorwat http://beta.nokorwatnews.com (used to be number one but I use their app more now as it's updated before the site)
And number 6 seems to be Koh Santepheap again which is odd.

Beside those I also use Thmey Thmey app a lot. And the police app. And just installed Koh Santepheap app.

A very strange and at times unsettling hobby that I've picked up.

In English I'll read the Guardian in the morning for 5 minutes, but to be honest I've very little interest in British or American news anymore. I've spent more than half my life in Asia now, and I'm still young(ish).
And then there's Life Hacker app which is alright.

Work on projects like:
1) motorcycles (one year plus project almost finished)
2) sailboat/kayak (one year project, finished, but for a new outboard motor)
3) rebuild guitar( this monsoon season project),
4) learn blues slide guitar
5) Researching/writing briefs for upcoming legal case for the US Justice Dept to bring suit against a US state (sometimes fun, sometimes a pain in the ass.)
6) Travel (as much as I can afford.)
7) Cook

I know "kill time" is just a phrase, but I don't think everyone above is really just wasting time. It's all grist for the mental mill.

That said:

1. Facebook occasionally proves to be a very good communicative device and very informative.
2. Cooking. I now cook most of my meals so that involves a lot of prep, cleaning and shopping. Am improving my output and nutritional input.
3. Keeping an eye out for apartments in Phnom Penh. Will likely move soon from Thailand but it probably means an interim apartment.
4. Reading books on my Kindle, which I never thought I'd buy but it sure is easier to buy a book any time of the day or night.
5. Catching up on all the TV series I missed over the last decade or two. And obsessing over Game of Thrones. Don't really like most movies.
6. I travel a lot in Southeast Asia, but need to settle down soon.
7. I dabble in the Viet language but will soon join the queue for those learning Khmer. Thanks Jamie for the link to the Khmer keyboard!

Add: Sailorman has got it going!

the OP was asking what websites people use when killing time, not really activities, i think he was fishing around for some new time killing websites to check out
