StormySky Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I'm curious as to the fun, bizzare things people do!! -on youtube, I have and know a particular video in mind, and basically I try to sift though reccommend videos until I find it... no searching allowed! I love me a good pointless challenge. -I live in a place with a lot of nature trails, so basically I wander far enough until I get lost, then I explore and eventually focus on trying to find my way back to the start. -at school, I sometimes steal people's baseball hats and play keepaway just to be a malevolent troll when I'm bored. -I start singing a song, then rapidly and smoothly transition to another song that reminds me of it and I keep on going and going until I falter. -I go out into the world, record random things, then play with them in a DAW -I get random impulsive desires to do weird and spontaneous things and then I blindly and enthusiastically do them, to the confusion of my friends and family. And I'll think of more later, the inner mechanations of my mind are an enigma!! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I mix my own photographic chemicals. It would be much easier to buy them already made but where would the fun be in that? Link to post Share on other sites

Silk Bones Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 When ever I'm bored, I try mix up my body jewelry and place them in different spots just for a laugh. For instance, I'd try to put a helix jewelry piece in one of my nostril piercings or a septum ring through an ear eyelet/tunnel. Link to post Share on other sites

Epitaph Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I don't know if I can call it fun explicitly. There's never really been "fun" in my life for a very long timespan. But there's things that make me feel slightly better. It's been a bit of a habit wherever I've gone on the internet and I notice it's happening again here. I keep an eye out for people asking for help. It'd be stupid of me to think I can help everybody. But if there's a thread on here asking for help and I have some kind of advice that might help, then I can't not give it. Again, I'm not sure if it constitutes as fun. It's quite taxing on me. I don't have the energy for communication I once did. But if I can help provide the keys to somebody to get out of a jam despite how awfully tiresome it can be to me, then it makes me somewhat satisfied. Link to post Share on other sites
Celyn: The Lutening Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 -Seeing how close I can get to wild animals before they fly/run away. -Making abstract sculptures out of random things I find around the house and seeing how tall I can get the tower. -A group of friends started "bad fanfiction Fridays". Each person brings a really bad fanfiction they found and reads it out - no deliberately writing it badly yourself, nothing off websites that gather bad fanfiction, it has to be found trough trawling through fanfiction.com, AO3 etc. Link to post Share on other sites
RoseGoesToYale Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 -using cross stitch patterns to make pixel art instead -writing "self-help" guides with purposefully bad advice -thumbing through every pre-90s architecture periodical in the campus library -play dress-up with whatever's in the closet and take goofy photos Link to post Share on other sites
Ldlelee Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I don't know if I would consider this fun or torture, but since I aim to become a translator, I find random articles/comics/etc. in Japanese and translate them into English. Link to post Share on other sites

Palovana Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Study French. Write fanfiction. I mean maybe these things aren't objectively that weird but I don't know anyone offline who writes fanfiction, and everyone who sees me with a French grammar book (coworkers, etc.) act like it's such a weird and stupid thing to do.

AwkwardAxolotl Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I slog through mud, become a buffet for the local insect population, and sleep on roots/rocks. In other words, I like backpacking. I also like to set new personal records for coldest temperature I've gone camping in. My roommates think I'm nuts when I come back and complain that it only got down to 12 degrees the night before, because it means I didn't set a new record for myself.

Ivory__ Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 - purposefully ruin somebody's counting by calling out random numbers. - do bad dance moves in public so I can try to get people to laugh or at least make their day interesting. Yes, I am a bad influence, but some of them looked like they were having a good time seeing me act as if I was possessed. - balancing objects on people's heads. I don't do this on a regular basis but when it was my aunt's birthday I whispered "I have a gift for you." I brought out my hand slowly. It was an egg. I told her I hoped she'd have an egg-cellent day. I don't consider it a loss since she didn't throw me out of the car but I could tell she was close to doing that. Everyone loves puns. Everybody.

Lemonsky Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I have a strange imaginary world-kind of thing going on in my head that I call Blank Alley and I basically imagine all kinds of happenings for its 'universe'. There are loads of characters and many different stories, which makes it really complicated and ambiguous but it often keeps me entertained. And also helps me fall asleep at night. When it's summer and there are puddles around I tend to wear crocs just so I can walk all around the puddles without ruining any socks or shoes. The deepest puddles are the most fun ones!

My uncle owns a car tire and service shop. He's had this sculpture as far back as I remember, made out of all the things he's pulled out of flat tires, all welded together. He adds new things to it constantly. There are the expected items, like nails and sharp bits of metal, but there are also weird things, like a really unexpected number of knives and forks. The name of the sculpture is "Do You Recognize Your Flat?" Link to post Share on other sites

knittinghistorian Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I watch everything closed-captioned. Three reasons: 1. In case someone mumbles or something. 2. Because reading is good. 3.

This has given me the biggest squish on you :3 The other day me, my dad and my brother were in the supermarket and for some reason Dad just starts doing silly walks. My brother and I don't say anything but both just start copying him. So there's just the three of us walking down the aisle like penguins or whatever. We certainly got stares.

Ortac Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I have a bizarre habit / ritual that I carry out whenever I go on a trip or vacation. Before I go, I pick up a small stone (about the size of an egg or a tiny bit bigger) off the ground or off the beach in my local area where I live. I then take that stone with me on my trip. I will then at some point find a similarly sized stone somewhere during my trip, and I will pick it up and drop my other stone from back home in its place. I will then take the second stone I picked up on my trip back home and drop it in the same place I picked up my first stone. I don't know why I do this, it is a habit I can't bring myself to stop doing! Last year I swapped two stones between France and California! Link to post Share on other sites

Hick Wizard Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I like to watch crappy sci-fi movies from the late 70's to early 80's. The last one I watch was called "Bermuda Triangle" it has a possessed doll, ghost ships, and random scenes of aircraft disappearing when hit with some sort of light. A total crap fest, but fun to watch. I also like to make up stupid songs about the dog and sing them to her. Link to post Share on other sites
