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

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

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.
