    So just like I said in the title, I am soooo bored I wanna go get hit by a car just so I can sleep for a few years in a hospital as heavily injured then wake up so I can see how things changed and will have a lot of things to do. But I clearly can't have that happening to me because of obvious reasons, so I came to y'all with this thread.

    Please give me something to do. Something fun and preferably something that won't get boring for at least a few weeks. But I don't want novel recommendations since I've read pretty much all the novels that interest me and I don't want game recommendations as well. I tried everything fun I personally know of, like watching good movies, dramas from west and east, funny TV shows(I think they are called variety shows?) from east and west as well, I've quite a bit of channels I follow on youtube too. And now after a long time of doing all these I have absolutely nothing to do, and it will probably take me a month or two to find something new to spend my time on which sucks because I don't wanna pluck all my hair out of boredom during that time. And in case some of you think something along the lines of, "Why the hell are you so free, go to school or work you piece of shit" well I am studying at university and just having 3-4 hours of lessons a day simply doesn't help me spend some time at all...

    So yeah, what is it you guys do, aside from reading novels when you are bored. It can be anything by the way.Except for things like sports or studying. [you can pm me your answer/suggestion if its something like a guilty pleasure btw ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]

    you say not to it but a sport could fill in that gap. and if you're studying at a uni they have a Gym. which would be quite cheap.
    of course there's the option of getting blackout drunk every night. but that's more expensive

    Get a super time consuming hobby.
    Once, when I had a similar problem, I made a chainmail. Never again.

    Get a hobby, something simple, and really time consuming, but rewarding.
    Something like carving wood figures or something.

    I do small amounts of martial arts or just burn stuff in my room because of human curiosity.

    lol no offense but I don't understand which part of the "no novels, sports or games part" do people don't understand. Most of the comments are about them to be honest and its not helping at all. There must be a reason why I excluded those things right, so please don't suggest things I said I don't want you to suggest. I mean you can obviously discuss about them or something but if you are just gonna say "just do sports, why not" then its better that you don't.
    but wood carving? never even thought about it. is it easy to get in to? Because I am pretty bad with carving/giving shape to something.
    but that is not something anyone can do though. there is archery at where I live but its like expensive and its a bit too big of a hobby, right. I mean things like basketball,table tennis,tennis are easy to begin and have fun but archery is a bit too serious I think. At least until you get good enough at it to have fun

    I know you said no games but

    playing a multiplayer game with your family, if you have enough controllers, is hella fun

    provided none of them box as a hobby though.

    I dusted off some old split screeners and played with family this week... a lot of feelings were hurt. and sore losers were never more annoying.

    Pooping is always fun.

    Going out and meeting people is always fun.

    Mountain climbing or even just bouldering is fun.

    Jogging at the park and making small talk with other joggers, such as single girls are always fun.

    Sunbathing naked is always fun.

    Helping an old lady with her grocery is always fun.

    Getting a part time job can be fun if you take one you like.

    Rowing a boat on a lake or river is always exhilarating. Bring a camera with you.

    Sky diving or hang gliding is always an adrenaline rush.

    Backpacking around the world is always enjoyable. Doesn't matter if you can't speak a lick of their language.

    Walking instead of driving is actually very fun. Of course, don't just walk, look around you. Bring a camera.

    Camping in the woods. Making your own fire, cooking your own food over the fire, lying down on a pile of leaves, looking up at the clear night sky is always amazing.

    Starting the day by waking up early and saying good morning to your mom and dad is always a great way to start your day.

    If all else fails, make a youtube channel where you post videos of yourself eating lots of crazy and disgusting shit. People love those things. Or you can troll the flattards videos with your own videos.
