We all get bored, and when we do, we all want something really interesting to keep our attention.
But, ask me what the problem is? never mind, I’ll tell myself.
The problem is that we are unaware of all the strange and fun things available on the internet, and we believe that the internet is boring because “we have explored everything.”
But guess what? here I’m ready to slap on your face with a list of websites that, I guess, you didn’t know before. And, if you realise after reading this post that you already knew all these websites, please slap me back.
1. Quickdraw with google
Quickdraw is an online game developed by Google in which you’ll be challenged to draw some doodles and the AI will try to guess what the drawing is. You’ll have 20 seconds to draw the doodle and while you draw, the AI will guess out loud what you’re trying to draw, “I see a pillow.”
What? Only 20 seconds!
Don’t worry, the AI is pretty smart and it’ll most certainly guess even if your drawing looks like shit (like mine).
2. Driving simulator on Google maps
Ok, You would’ve guessed it by the name what the game is about. A 2D driving simulator that’ll let you drive on the google maps of any country or city in the world.
Choose a location, a view, a vehicle (bus or car), and you’re ready to drive your Ferrari almost anywhere in the world. (spoiler alert: there is no Ferrari)
Pretty weird website, but interesting!
(Not so good on Mobile)
3. Find the invisible cow
It’s a simple game, the cow is hiding somewhere behind the blank screen and you have to find where the cow is.
The game starts with a white blank screen and a voice screaming, “cow, cow, cow, cow…” The closer your finger or mouse cursor gets to the part where the cow is hiding, the louder the voice gets.
And, “Moo.” You found the cow.
4. You’re getting old
Wanna know how old are you? or what special thing happened around your birth date?
You can find it here! Enter your date of birth and the website will show you some of the special things associated with that date.
For example, I was 3 months old when the last episode of the TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S was aired. And, when I was born, there were approximately 6.4 billion people alive; today there are 7.8 billion people alive on the planet. So much progress…
5. The true size
Do you know the world maps we’ve been believing in since childhood are wrong? Our perceptions of the size of some countries are totally wrong.
For example, Russia is not as big as we think, India is bigger than Greenland and Africa is twice the size of what we see on the world map.
So how can we know the true size of nations? That’s what the website is called, “The true size.” Enter the name of the country and drag it anywhere on the world map to compare its true size with other nations.
6. Hackertyper
Well, this site is pretty useless, but hey, if you like those weird hacking scenes from the movies where the hacker types some fake codes in a small dark room, then this site is for you.
Visit the site and start typing all your girlfriends’ names or something else if you don’t have any, and your typing will appear in a fake coding language, making you feel like a so-called “cool” hacker.
7. Magic cat academy
Another game by Google, Magic cat academy is a fun game to pass your time by killing some ghosts.
You’ll be given a magic wand and a bunch of ghosts who are trying to kill you. Each ghost will have a shape above its head and you must draw that particular shape on the screen to kill that ghost. If you are touched by the ghost, you will lose a life. Pretty simple!
If you manage to survive, “you are the cat who lived.”
8. Muscle wiki
I love this website, and if you are a fitness freak, you will love this website too.
Muscle wiki is a simple website where you can easily get access to fitness-related information.
Tap on a body part on the screen, and the website will show you some exercises for strengthening that specific part of the body.
Just check it once.
9. Google trends
This is a famous website, but still, for the folks who don’t know what this website is about, let me explain guys.
Google trends is a website where you can get information related to the trend of a particular keyword that you type. For example, I typed “poop” in the search box and found that there has been a growth in the search volume of this particular term since 2004. People really love poop, I guess.
This website is the best way to pass your time by getting some interesting information.
10. Akinator
Ok, this bot, Akinator, is a freaking mind reader.
Akinator is a fun game in which the AI, “Akinator”, will ask you to think of any famous character you know, “any”, and he will try to guess who the character is.
Akinator will ask questions such as, “is your character married?”, “does your character live in India?” or “does your character own an electronic shop.” The answers you give, the closer Akinator will get to your character, and BOOM! Akinator guessed it, it’s “Jethalal.” (Indian TV show actor)
Akinator may not be able to guess correctly all the time but its still a fantastic way to pass your time.
So, this was the list of 10 interesting websites to visit when you are bored! If you liked this post, please bless the clap and follow button with your holy fingers so that you can read more of my blogs in the future.
Thankyou for reading the blog.
Bye.
