What should someone do if they want to be bored?

[Evai]

These days it's far too easy to be entertained. There's countless apps, shows, and infinite possibilities for you to occupy yourself with. Frankly, I hate it. How do I be bored?

[Froggychum]

Okay, first you need to find a subterranean location. A cave or your mom's basement will do. You will be staying alone here for twelve hours.

Now, make sure your environment is plain and has no interesting features. No colorful paint or design choices, no personalized decorations, and no unnecessary furniture or appliances. Ideally, a concrete box would be best.

If you're also looking to be depressed, make sure no natural sunlight reaches this space!
Your clothing should be plain and uninteresting. If you're comfortable with it, it's even better to be naked.
NO TIME KEEPING DEVICES! Being able to accurately track the passage of time will let you look forward to something! Not good!

Okay, so now that you've secured a proper location without any possibility of anything interesting happened, here's what you need to do:
- Do not leave the box. If you need to relieve yourself, hold it. If you can't, then you have to give up on the challenge. Soiling yourself would add color to this monochrome space and that could become a source of interest for your deprived mind.
- For food and water, don't bother. You'll be fine without any for the 12 hours you're here. To reduce hunger pains which could be a source of stimulus, eat before entering. It doesn't matter what you eat, but make sure you cleanse your palette and brush your teeth. Even remnant tastes or food scraps between your teeth could provide a couple brief moments of fleeting whim.

In this box, you have no goals. You just have to wait here. Your hands will probably be your biggest source of 'entertainment' but that's just how it is. I used to run a much more comprehensive version of this experiment but every government in the universe demanded I stop because it was "pure evil".

(I won't get into it but the advanced version of this course involves having your consciousness literally separated from your body and put in a 100% sensory deprivation chamber where you have no form of sensory input whatsoever. We use special means to ensure you are not allowed to gain any relief from going brain dead or insane. Since the subjects don't have biological concerns, we don't limit it to 12 hours. We just leave them there forever. Our oldest subject has been going steady for 507 236 years! He has begged for mercy over thirty five trillion times! How interesting!)

---

Anyway, hopefully this helps!

If when the 12 hours end, you want to keep going - you can have organized a team to support you. They will give you anesthetic every 12 hours which will ensure you have no memories of being outside of the box. While under anesthetic, they will force feed / water you and then bring you somewhere to sleep and relieve yourself.

You will wake up back in the box.

It worked!!! Thank you so much

I mean I stopped reading halfway through your post, but whatever you were saying definitely helped me accomplish my mission

These days it's far too easy to be entertained. There's countless apps, shows, and infinite possibilities for you to occupy yourself with. Frankly, I hate it. How do I be bored?

First start by configuring a Jellyfin server, creating a DNS entry for the web domain you already own (if you don't own one, you'll need to buy one!), and open port 80 and 443 on your router. Don't worry, you won't be using this, that's for your friends and family, instead you will spend all of your time acquiring media so that other people can watch it!

After you configure the server and create a pathway from your machine to the web domain, spend three days setting up an nginx reverse proxy and a cron job to keep the ssl certificate refreshed every day. It's going to be a huge pain in the ass, the tutorials on the Jellyfin docs website will be deeply unhelpful, and on day three someone on the support forums will pity you so much they will send you their config file. It will be the exact same as yours but when you copy-paste it into place, it will work. You will be drinking by the end of this part, and it will not be for fun.

Then, crank up your VPN, it's time for an adventure on the high seas! Find whatever torrenting website suits your fancy and start grabbing all the shows your heart desires! Except the ones with lots of episodes that everyone is requesting, those aren't going to be there, but that's where watchcartoononline comes in! For those, find the show and download every episode, one at a time. This will take several hours for larger shows like Adventure Time and Arthur, and you will in fact start playing Electricity by Sister Wife Sex Strike on loop because GOD this SUCKS but mama didn't raise a quitter. A dumb homosexual with pathological completionism, but not a quitter.

When your eyes glaze and your breath becomes shallow, pull yourself away. You can't be bored if you're dead, after all! Set up some accounts for everyone and spend time coming up with a complex system of organizing the libraries like a world's most torturous venn diagram. You'll make a library for kids shows aimed a the 6 and under crowd but then your sister in law will complain that it's difficult to switch between accounts so can you please make a splitoff of the Animation library that doesn't contain the shows for adults? So you make three folders, one for the preschool stuff, one for the all-ages stuff, and one for the adult stuff, and set up two libraries that pull from them. But wait! Now you have to go through and give everyone appropriate access to the NEW Animation library because on a few accounts everything in the all-ages folder has suddenly disappeared!

Also half the metadata is broken now! And when are we gonna get Star Wars Rebels?? The drive is at 70% capacity, gotta hook up a new one and distribute the data load! Babar needs the IMDB id manually entered! Your mom forgot her password again, time to reset! What do you mean we can't stream 4k movies, what's even the point? what's even the point? what's even the point?








Put in time off at work. Park your car at the lot on the edge of the woods and leave your phone in the glove box, turned off. Follow the trail down to the campsite so far away from parking that no one goes there. Sit in the woods and listen to the nothing. It will be so quiet and so boring but you will be at peace.

A truly divine post,
I don't know whether to be worried more for your mental health or your potential future legal troubles,
In other words all is as it should be after reading anything online!

I mean I stopped reading 1/4 of the way through your post, but whatever you were saying definitely helped me accomplish my mission

[Froggychum]

evai never reads long posts...

we should start including subway surfers video in the top right corner to help him pay attention

[Evai]

Fantastic idea, maybe we should start a gofrogme to afford this kind of auto video embedding technology You have my vote, froggy

[Froggychum]

Thanks for voting for me!

my promise to my fellows asdfians is that during my term, i will enact fascism and do evil stuff
if my opponent(s) wins then they will do good things and we cant let that happen

[Ml08180]

I think we could solve all of this with stickle bricks. A vote for me is a vote for colorful geometric plastic!

[Froggychum]

that's woke ideology (maybe)

[atomtengeralattjaro]

leave your phone in the glove box, turned off.

my glove box would always be turned off, if I had one

(also, instructions unclear, I left my car in the phone box of my gloves)

[Froggychum]

my glove box would always be turned off, if I had one

hey just like my wife

(also, instructions unclear, I left my car in the phone box of my gloves)

happens to the best of us.
if you wanna fix that, i recommend trying to right your scooter outside of the TV bag of Evai's shoes. that might help reverse the situation

[shruvvu]

vote me if u r bored

[Froggychum]

oh yeah, well
vote me if u r board
