Bored at home? It is true that Internet it is one of the most useful tools we currently have for learning and working. But it is also a great leisure tool. In today's post we are going to review some sites that we can find just to entertain ourselves, without major pretensions. we have called them pages to waste time, although it would be more correct to say that they are pages to relax and have fun in our free time.
In other words, if we have an internet connection there is no excuse to get bored. There are plenty of pages to kill time with. The selection that we have elaborated is made up of very heterogeneous webs, it could be said that almost for all tastes. Surely among them you will find more than one with which you are going to have a good time:
Bucket List
Write down everything you want to do before you die
I'm not kidding: some people, when they have nothing to do, take to making lists. Specifically, what it offers us Bucket List is to make a list, but not just any list, but a list of things to do before you die.
To draw up such a peculiar list we will have the help of the website itself, which will make all kinds of suggestions. We can also browse the lists of other users in search of inspiration. What is certain is that we are going to have a good time turning the matter over.

Cracked
The funniest gifs, in Cracked
Cracked is a website where thousands of ingenious and funny gifs are collected. If you are a fan of this wonderful humorous creation born by and for the internet, you are going to have a great time here. Of course, it should be noted that it is an American page aimed at the public of that country, so it is likely that we do not understand all the jokes or that we do not know many of the characters that appear.

Future me
Future Me: self-message to the future
A most original proposal: send an email to our "I" of the future. In it we can write ideas, projects, challenges and reflections. A message in a bottle that will travel through time and return to us in 1, 2 or 5 years (there are many options to choose from, even an exact date).
Imagine your face when, after that period of time, a message sent by your "I" from the past arrives in your email inbox. How many things will have changed? Rather than waste time Future me we will actually be dedicating time to ourselves. Really exciting.

Koalas To The Max
Pages to waste time: Koalas To The Max
This is a very strange and simple page, but strangely addictive. All that we will be able to find in Koalas To The Max is a series of circles (or fractal bubbles) that split in two each time you hover over them. And so on until finally the image of a charming koala appears before our eyes.
A madness with which one can spend hours and hours without really doing anything useful, although for some it is a most relaxing experience.

Cats and the internet, a formula that never fails

Random Color
Random Colour: random colors
Here's a website that delivers what it promises: Random Color, a random color. When accessing it, the screen will be shown covered by a randomly chosen flat color, without letters, signs, images or links. A tribute to minimalism. Every time we press the page refresh button, the color will change. Where do we want to go with this unique chromatic journey? What is all this really for? Well, exactly for that: to kill time and do some visual gymnastics.

The Useless Web
The Useless Web: it is useless but you have to visit it
If we talk about pages to waste time on the Internet, it is necessary to dedicate a few lines to The Useless Web. Its name the "useless web" is quite a declaration of intent, although to be fair it is an undeserved definition.
What exactly does this website offer? By itself, literally nothing. Yes, it offers us a series of links to other simple and surreal websites, perfectly useless and expendable. And even so, we cannot stop recommending it. One of those internet oddities that make us smile.

Where Is This?
Where Is This? A challenge that requires a great capacity for observation
A hobby original and didactic which really doesn't serve much purpose, except to keep us entertained and somewhat intrigued during those dead hours while waiting for a flight, when traveling by bus or if we find ourselves stuck in a traffic jam.
where is this is made up of a community of users who upload photos of landscapes to the web. The challenge consists of find out your location based on the few clues that are shown: the vegetation, the style of the houses, the license plates of the cars, the attire of the people, the language of the signs… Very interesting.
