What do y'all surf/do during downtime?

Have been having a bit of downtime at work the past few days, wanted to ask what you guys read/browse/do when there's nothing to be done. I usually read WSO and dealbreaker but there's often not enough content and I find myself staring at the screens feeling my brain melt away

I wish I knew how and lived in a location that allowed me to surf. It somehow seems both exhilarating and relaxing at the same time.

There are tons of great shows on Netflix & HBO, tons of great video games that I'd never have time to play, tons of fantastic books that I bought and never got around to read, etc.

There's rarely a good excuse to be bored.
