What are your favorite websites?  I know I have a few that I waste HOURS on, but I work at the front desk of a dorm, and there isn't a lot to do, so I need some more :)

 

Here are some of my favorites:

http://www.cracked.com/

http://www.sporcle.com/

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation

Try www.reddit.com if you

Try www.reddit.com if you would like to waste time. Or I suppose you could try www.digg.com, but they're essentially the same thing.

Reddit is great!

Reddit often is covering/discussing stories several hours before the mainstream media picks them up. Reddit has a great community (nice, helpful, good grammer) and a simple and useful layout.

 

There are also many Sub-Reddits that focus on specific topics or themes. Some of the most popular ones are:

http://www.reddit.com/r/pics (Pictures)

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA (People doing Q&A on topics they have knowledge about)

http://www.reddit.com/r/science (Science)

I suggest to get the

I suggest to get the stumbleupon toolbar for your browser.  Just click the stumble button and it will take you to websites that are based on catagories you choose when you install the toolbar.  You can either like the page to bring up similar pages in the future or dislike it so it brings up less of those kind.  Catagories include arts, sciences, tech, video games, funny pictures, humour, etc.

 

But be warned once you start it is very hard to stop pressing the stumble button!

But no seriously, there's a few good websites. Of course mylifeisaverage.com, fml.com for some reason are pretty addicting....

However recentlly I've discovered that for some reason I enjoy lamebook.com....I feel pretty terrible for laughing at others expense but its just really entertaining to see the ridiculous things people post on facebook.

Hell yes.

Hell yes to cracked.com, I read that every day. An awesome way to find new websites is StumbleUpon.

Wanna laugh?

 www.fmylife.com is always hilarious. I'm pretty sure most people already know about it, but I didn't see it mentioned on here so I thought I would bring it up just in case. Also, my new favorite website is www.regretsy.com which makes fun of handmade crafts that people sell on the site etsy.com. Be warned though, some of the things featured on Regretsy are somewhat....inappropriate. For example, a vagina necklace. Yes you have read correctly, a vagina necklace.

haha!  These are great :), I approve

 

fmylife is one of my favorites as well.  A friend of mine wrote one of the top ones on there!  (The one about a teacher grabbing his boner while he slept in class :P  )

 

Anyways, thanks a lot and these are a great way to waste time!

www.comingsoon.net (for movie news, because I'm a dork)
www.smashingmagazine.com (awesome awesome AWESOME online site for photography, web design, graphic design, etc.)
http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com (updated only a few times a week, but fun to look at)

Hey, another Zero Punctuation

Hey, another Zero Punctuation watcher! And here I thought I was the only one; that guy's brilliant. :]

 

I'd say:

www.cracked.com 
www.mylifeisaverage.com and www.notalwaysright.com
www.reuters.com   -> News Site
www.definr.com    -> Online Dictionary, REALLY good
www.omegle.com    -> A way to talk with random strangers around the web. Fun way to pass some time.

And www.erepublik.com/en/referrer/graduallynevele

Or just erepublik, the rest is basically an invite that would friend us and gain us both some gold eventually. It's a game, pretty slow, but can get fairly addictive. You work a job and train daily at the very basis of it, but as you level can work your way into politics (even a presidency) and fight in wars. I joined at the start of WW3, which is just now cooling down. We're just about to boot Hungary out of Alaska (Of our allies, Spain, Switzerland, North Korea, and Canada all collapsed, and the USA was forced down to Florida but got her act together). :]

Google Reader.

Or, you can use Google Reader, and read all of these sites at once.  I've spent DAYS on that thing.  I had to go to the hospital once.

Many redditors would take serious offense to that statement. Fortunately for you, the other redditors would agree...
