  • Website suggestions

    While responding to a poster in this thread I came up with an idea to help me when I'm bored at work.

    I have a handful of websites I peruse on a regular basis to kill time at work. I am always looking for new sites to check out.

    Remember, I'm at work...it has to be suitable...but I'd like to hear of some sites that others find interesting that I could check out! Thanks.

    I like the funny stuff! But I'll check out anything once!

            I get sucked into fark.com if I'm not careful. It can be iffy on safe-for-work-ness, though. Gotta be careful what you click on (most are pretty good about warning you, but some things slip through that really shouldn't).

            there's always icanhascheezburger and its sister sites
            The Daily Kitten has lots of cute-stuff links

            Cakewrecks is great

            Post Secret (only updates once a week, on Sunday, though)

            If you're a House fan, this one is interesting.

              notalwaysright.com (similar to this site only without boards)

              dumblaws.com (for giggles)

                waiterrant.net - granted his new stuff isn't the greatest, but the archives are cool

                boredatwork.com - A lot of the links here will take you to ubersite.com which can be NSFW but most of that stuff is tagged.

                collegehumor.com - Again, most tagged NSFW, but be careful.

                  i know it's rather juivenile but have you tried bored.com? or you could also read.. i'm not sure if you're into fanfiction.. it really passes the time and you don't have to read the "romance" ones..oh a good one is
                  http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
                  or
                  http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Main_Page
                  I just love hopping from article to article or hitting the random page button.. actually sadly enough same with wikipedia..

                    unless it's changed a LOT since I was last on....pretty much everything is Not Safe For Work. Last time I tried to get on that site, my computer was pretty much attacked by adware and spyware and it made my anti-virus very unhappy.

                        Work computers dont' like wiki. Sometimes you can get on the site, other times, everything freezes up.

                        I have a nice list started now! Thanks!

                          Fark.com
                          Kotaku.com ( Gamerz )
                          Questionablecontent.net
                          Threepanelsoul.com
                          Crooksandliars.com
                          Thatguywiththeglasses.com ( Unending hilarity )
                          CS.com ( Of course )
                          Liveleak.com
                          lfgcomic.com

                          There's more, but I don't remember them off hand atm. -.-

                          I swear I'm almost tempted to go for one of Thatguywiththeglasses.com talent competitions

                              Oh, right

                              Cracked.com. Endless amusement there too. Especially if you can't indulge in sound and video at work. ;p
