Constantly being plugged into the news grind is mentally exhausting. Sometimes we just need to take a break, unwind, and do something fun. That is why we have built up a collection of distracting time-wasters for when we need a break from being obsessively online. We figured you might enjoy these harmless rabbit holes, mildly addictive browser games, and internet curiosities, too, so we have been writing about them when we find them. Can you beat our score in I'm Not a Robot or did you find a gem of an academic paper on motherhood and body horror on Horror Lex? Tell us in the comments.
The Purpose of These Distractions
The goal here is not to get engrossed in a game that you will lose hundreds of hours to, or become an expert on dialectical materialism. It is to have a little fun on your lunch break, decompress between emails, or give you an interesting repository of art to dig through on a slow Sunday afternoon. So check back often to see the latest light-hearted (well, mostly light-hearted) time waster we are passing around the office.
What to Expect
- Harmless rabbit holes to explore
- Mildly addictive browser games
- Internet curiosities and art repositories
We encourage you to share your finds and compete with our scores. Remember, these are meant to be quick breaks, not endless commitments. Enjoy responsibly!
