You simply have nothing to do and no ideas come to mind either. When the weather isn’t exactly inviting to go out, the question arises “What to do against boredom?” The answer is very simple and easy: Off to the Internet!
The internet is full of the funniest internet gimmicks and one can never get bored or tired by exploring it.
So are you ready? Then let’s go. From entertaining games to scientific aha moments, there is a lot.
1. It’s Google Maps: but where are you?
It’s a game with a random landscape image from Google Street View and the question: Where is that? GeoGuessr lets you compete in single player mode or challenge mode to solve the puzzle. Of course, the closer you are to your guess, the more points you get. Read the signs, and try to guess where that place is.

2. If the moon were only one pixel
Based on the assumption that the moon is only one pixel in size, the page of the same name shows a true-to-scale model of the universe that you can scroll through. In addition to interesting comparisons, you will also learn that there are some corners of space where there is really nothing to see.

3. Random education thanks to Wikipedia
On the Wikipedia home page you will find an inconspicuous link labeled “Random Article”. Just click on it. So you can involuntarily improve your knowledge with interesting facts and if you are anything like us then it won’t be long before you find something interesting to read
4. YouTube-Roulette
If you want to do something against boredom but aren’t looking for intellectual challenges, the random principle is also available in a visual format. Videos from the platform selected at random are played on the Ytroulette.com. Caution: In individual cases, the material could make you doubt humanity.
5. Sort out Facebook friends
Granted, the task of cleaning out your Facebook friends list isn’t quite as fun, but it probably makes all the more sense. I’m sure you’re no longer interested in what the people you met years ago on vacation and then bumped into on Facebook are doing today. Or maybe you are?
6. Find out more about your personality
We can always learn more about ourselves; in fact we should strive to learn more about ourselves. So if you are in the mood for some soul searching then might we suggest a personality? It is easy to find out good things about yourself, this time try the difficult person test to find the bad.
7. Playing with colors
If you don’t necessarily have a red-green weakness, then test your color perception. The “Color – Method of Action” page allows you to do just that in a total of six disciplines.
