Question of the Day - Thursday August 31, 2023

[MonaLyssa33]

What activity do you waste the most time on?


For me, it's definitely YouTube. I subscribe to a lot of channels (I mean A LOT, definitely over 100), so I have a Watch Later list that I add to every day and it's always dozens of videos. I have it playing while I work because I need something on in the background so I can focus better on my actual work. Even right now I have one video playing on my TV and another playing on my computer because the one on the TV is one I can listen to but don't need to watch and the one on my computer is one I don't need to hear but want to watch. ADHD is awesome.

I vote YouTube too. I am subscribed to a lot of channels, and some of them I want to sit down and watch, and others are more podcast style that I can stick on a playlist and do other things while I listen.

Speaker phone is great, because I can talk AND do other stuff!

The one game I allow myself to play on my phone. I keep telling myself I am an adult with responsibilities but gosh its still fun.

 

[Mia6]

reading the news online

 

[kashmir64]

Video games and making an AI voice model.
But let's face it. It's just to darn hot to do anything else.

 

[misty8723]

Facebook. I'm in a lot of groups for things that interest me.

I have a couple games on my iPad on which I waste a ridiculous amount of time. To be fair, I do try to get my work done first. (Sometimes.)
Watch a lot of YouTube videos on bread-making, scoring, etc.

I still find myself taking 1/2 hour or so in the evenings to play the old classic Super Mario bros. games, or Sonic the Hedgehog. It's just as fun as it was when I was a kid!

I'd say watching TV...however, I do tend to mindlessly surf the net or play solitare games on my laptop while doing so, if what's on is not one "my shows" that's new. It's a toss up.

 

[Lari]

Playing on my phone for sure. Especially playing games.

 

[susanm9006]

News sites plus Twitter

I still have a working NES. Haven't hooked it up in a while. Don't even know if I can with the ports I have. I need to check it out.

 

[denice]

I watch too much TV.
