Cool things to do on the internet?

[joeplicate]

So I figure there's a lot going on on the internet, in general.

The thing is, I always end up falling into the same ruts over and over. Smashboards, youtube, and facebook can only stay entertaining for so long.


What are some cool sites to check out? I'm thinking interesting blogs, cool things to look at, different kinds of youtube videos, what movies/TV shows people are watching, etc....

What does everyone else spend their free time looking at online? I figure this can turn into a pretty legit idea if everybody keeps contributing.


I'll start with something Oscar showed me awhile ago:
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/

Basically it's a podcast which examines different aspects of people's lives in America. There was one on bullying, one about life on a naval cruiser, and a lot more.

reddit.

i've probably spent more time on reddit over the last 2 years than i have doing any other single activity. most of you guys have probably heard of reddit/already visit regularly, but for those who don't it's definitely one of the best "waste a lot of time reading about cool shiit" websites out there.

EDIT: oh I guess I should probably put a link.

http://www.reddit.com/

 

[Xyro77]

www.wimp.com
www.weirdasianews.com

very good sites to waste time on

 

[Pink Reaper]

cracked.com

start with http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-6-most-aggressively-ridiculous-benders-in-modern-history/ click every link thereafter.

 

[Lovage]

i don't think cracked.com is a cool thing to do on the internet
i think it kinda sucks and isn't that funny

wimp.com is great though

 

[Espy Rose]

Damnit, Reaper. I was totally gonna link to Cracked.
It's so amazing. It's also pretty damn funny.

Espy....slow.

edit: Here is a webcomic I really like. It's called Achewood, and here is a link to the first one. It starts off ok but then gets REALLY good: http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/uua8XVqnr

 

[The Greater Leon]

derek got me started on:

always sunny
ms paint adventures

 

[JTB]

This site I found has a **** ton of anime, I've passed alot of time just watching random shows I've never heard of before.

Pat already mentioned Reddit, but digg is another similar site, although not as great.

As for web comics, xkcd is very entertaining.

 

[Espy Rose]

I did it to mock the post above mine, tallman.
Take the time to read every post in the thread next time, I guess.

 

[JTB]

Someone's getting defensive over nothing.

 

[joeplicate]

wow, i love all the responses so far haha

reddit is pretty dope, that's one of the few i've checked out
now i need to go watch the halftime superbowl show cause i heard it was soooooooooo bad LOL


edit:
omg it sucked assssssssssssssssssss

 

[joeplicate]

Also, another thing I re-discovered in my bookmarks folder: The Art of Manliness


In a time in my life where I'm contemplating the role of discipline, passion, and integrity, and the scope of things that I can accomplish, this site is pretty relevant. There are articles about health, knowing "manly" things (like fishing, tying knots, hunting, speaking or dressing well), and upholding personal values. What is the essence of a man?

Anyways, I figure I'm not the only one who would find this interesting, or the only one who it's relevant to.

Yeah, many many ***** were sucked.

 

[The Greater Leon]

thx 4 the man man

Someone's out of the loop.

Also, to be relevant to the topic, I like to kill time at Gametrailers.com. I usually just browse the Screw Attack section though.

 

[Gaara♥]

www.thebest404pageever.com is a great place to waste time by watching random flash videos. Just keep pressing F5

EDIT: I guess the site is down right now

 

[The Greater Leon]

go away texas

 

[embracethe12]

superbowl ---> no ******s on the freeways ----> time to go to FFA

 

[Brian]

I was about to say youarenotsosmart.com but then I realized I got that link from Fly and he probably already posted it. It's good when you want to actually learn something instead of just ****ing around.

Other than that, I watch a lot of TV shows/movies, try to find new music somehow. I read theavclub.com (it's part of The Onion but it's 'serious' entertainment news in a sort of snarky tone) and slashfilm.com (movie news).

I'll think of more later I'm sure

 

[The Greater Leon]

oh

[joeplicate]

[CableCho57]

www.howstuffworks.com

this is pretty cool

 

[debaser]

http://dresdencodak.com/ produces some of the best comics I have ever read.

 

[The Greater Leon]

i really tried to like dresden
but i couldnt really immerse myself

i dont like the way he formats his comics and i felt like he was going way too fast
i kind of hope i was skipping pages somehow

 

[debaser]

I hear ya.

the ending of HOB made little to no sense to me (still awesome though).

but stand alones like lantern season and the sleepwalkers are what it's all about.

 

[joeplicate]

i just read sleepwalkers, and i liked it a whoooole lot

gave me a really dinotopia vibe, in a good way

 

[The Greater Leon]

A 5 year old thinks of everything and his 29 year old brother draws the comics.

[MasterShake]

"Telescope Gun Cop has a gun that can elongate out and shoot people directly in the face even if they are across the room. His gun also has a flash light"

LOL.

Looking forward to looking at that later.

I'm disappointed he was allowed to enter P5. I can guarantee you he's not entering G2 until he pays Brendan back.
