help entertain a sick person

That would be me. I am stuck in bed with just mt tablet for company - which unfortunately does not have mant intersesting sites bookmarked.
I have worked my way through icanhazcheezeburger ( i particularly like my food looks funny), boingboing.net,cakewrecks, regretsey, here of course and cute overload.

I am after some interesting time waisting/educational/cute or weird links

I
Promise i wont give you cooties if you do;)

On a tablet you might be able to hit kongregate.com up

Games. So many flash games. So much time sucked down the black hole of oblivion.

“Family friendly” vids at wimp.com
pointlesssites.com
“Riveting talks by remarkable people” at ted.com
Never be hoaxed again, courtesy of snopes.com

notalwaysright.com, especially if you’ve ever worked in retail. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/home , which is the Earthling version of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It has the reassuring “Don’t Panic” slogan on the front page, should you need such advice. Give it a browse. Write an entry.

Sadly no. Cannot watch old movies at the internet archive or half of youtube either due apparently to the androiid version = no flash

cracked.com is fun…I spend ages there and still haven’t seen it all.

Depending on your sickness, this might not be the right thread for you (but it sure is wicked long: 61 pages/over 3000 posts).

Things I Learn From My Patients on an emergency medicine board. Some of it is harsh and cynical but a lot of it is very funny.

fark.com is where I get all my news. I cannot believe people actually watch TV for the news. Funny, wacky, maddening, insightful. Come for the photoshop contests, stay for Caturday!
The Superficial celebrity timewaster crap. Snarky.

I can lose days, nay, weeks on the sea of wikipedia.
I hope you feel better soon!

Lots of interesting stories at www.damninteresting.com. The site isn’t active anymore, but check their archives; lots of interesting short reads.

www.postsecret.com - some very funny, some very moving, some heartbreaking

  1. Things my Girlfriend and I have argued about.

    An English man and a German woman hold each other responible for the sins of thier nations.

  2. Sauron’s I stood next to the Emperor of the World at McDonald’s!

  3. Funny things said during love making/intimate moments…

On a more serious note, there’s some interesting things on Metafilter, http://www.metafilter.com/

I second wimp.com and postsecret.com.

Try fakeposters.com for “Demotivational” posters. Note that there are also a fair number of scantily clad pictures of the Maxim / FHM level. You may consider this either an advantage or disadvantage. :slight_smile:

Or try a Google Image search for “demotivational posters”.

Yahoo and USA Today for crossword puzzles. IndigoPuzzles.com for “Hashi” puzzles (a new interest of mine).

Can’t believe I forgot http://www.etiquettehell.com/. It’s got some real gems.

Pinterest for the crafty, the cooks, and those interested in style!

watch Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune & Family Feud. you need some people interaction, but if you can’t get it (& there are programs that would provide you with some) they are a kind of substitute. also, start writing down your musings…things that you take for granted aren’t obvious to others.
