There are many weird things about the internet, the main one being how many weird things you can actually do on there, and as such, we thought it would be fun to make a list of some of the most weird and wonderful things you can do.
Whether you’re bored at home or looking for a way to pass the time at work, here are eight weird and wonderful things you can try online right now.
Play chess against a computer
Chess is a difficult game and trying to remember how all the different pieces move around the board can make it even worse. So, why not test your skills, practise your plays, and play a game of chess against a computer.
The chances are, they’ll beat you every single time, but at least next time you play against a human you might have a chance of winning.
Book a reading with a psychic online
Going to a psychic might not be something you have tried before, and now that you can do it online, it is really accessible. So, if you’ve always wanted to have a reading, now is your chance. You can find tons of cheap psychics to help you book a reading right now.
Many people find that seeing a psychic helps them to build focus in their life and experience closure from past events.
Follow a shark as they swim around the ocean
Did you know that there are websites and apps dedicated to following sharks around the ocean? These sites use the tags on some wild sharks and allow you to essentially follow the creatures for the day or night.
If you’ve always wondered how far a shark can swim in a night, or where they go to chill out, well, now is your chance. Who knew the internet would let us stalk wild creatures from our sofa, right?
Get yourself in a Wikipedia wormhole
If you want to learn a bunch of weird and pointless facts about the world, then a Wikipedia wormhole is calling your name. A Wikipedia wormhole is essentially when you log on to one Wikipedia page and then find yourself, hours later, on a totally unrelated page with no idea of how you ended up there. All you need to do is keep clicking on the interesting internal links on each of the pages.
Learn to knit socks
This one probably isn’t suitable for the office but is a great idea if you’re looking to gift people homemade presents this Christmas. Learning to knit is super easy online now. There are tonnes of YouTube tutorials and dedicated sites that guide you through each step. Make sure you use yarn from Mary Maxim for the best results.
