Do Nothing For 2 Minutes

Some of us struggle to keep off the computer for even a minute…let alone two minutes! But staying away from the cyber world for a couple of minutes can give your brain a nice recharge. DoNothingFor2Minutes.com plays relaxing music or nature sounds and times you to ensure you don’t click or move your mouse for two straight minutes. If you do, the site flashes a giant “Fail!” and you have to start again. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re a social media addict, this site will tell you.

Omegle

Omegle.com, when used correctly, connects you with someone else on the web who wants at that exact moment to talk about the exact same thing you want to talk about! Whether that be what type of mustard tastes best on a pretzel or what the cutest hybrid breed dog is or all the things that are annoying about flying on an airplane. If you need to vent for a few minutes, this is the place to do it.

Awkward Family Photos

There is something so oddly uplifting about AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, full of family portraits gone wrong! It reminds us we’re all a little bit goofy and that yes, everyone’s family is a little bit crazy but at the same time, you get to see families that are so tight knit, they’re willing to wear matching sweaters and pose in front of a green screen that makes them all look like they’re in “ Star Wars.” And hey, that’s love.

Drudge Report

If you’re someone who likes to say you don’t follow the gossip columns but secretly want to know what everyone is talking about, go to DrudgeReport.com. If you want to, for your own entertainment, know about the newest conspiracy theories buzzing around the web, go to DrudgeReport.com. If you in general feel like feeding the cynic or gossiper in you, just for a moment, go to DrudgeReport.com.

Life Hacker

LifeHacker.com is exactly what it sounds like — a site that gives you hacks for just about every situation, circumstance, object or human you might come in contact with. You’ll learn anything from sleep positions that fix particular health issues to clever uses for pool noodles. We can’t even technically call this site a time waster! But it’s a lot of fun.
