50 Fun Things to Do When You're Bored
Today's site from Mental Floss offers spiffy ideas to chase boredom away just
in time for a Memorial Day weekend with a difference. Gentle Subscribers will
find clever suggestions, that in themselves are entertaining to consider, and
which may add some sparkle to this holiday.
"After months of quarantine, you've probably binged all your usual TV shows,
cooked your favorite go-to meals, and spent more time aimlessly staring at your
phone than you'd care to admit. To break up what feels like a monotonous blur
of days spent cooped up inside the same four walls, check out these 50 creative
things to do when you're bored." - from the website
With 50 suggestions to chose from, there are reasonable odds that more than one
will provide a pleasant diversion for many. The variety of possibilities is
enhanced by the impressive number of contributors who have worked on the list.
Among the selections, one of which has a lovely "down the rabbit hole"
connection, advocates watching the most popular movie of your birth date. This
has -- and here's the rabbit hole -- a link to a list to the most popular film
for each year from 1950 to 2019, complete with a few lines on the cast and
plot, along with a photo or two. Other ideas include Baking Chemistry
Experiments, Transcribing Historical Documents -- with advice on how to do it
-- and Learn to Draw One Thing Really Well, with links to useful instructions.
