When theres time to kill and the shroomery is dead?
I go on reddit until im all caught up. Then i check yahoo news like 10 times for no reason, just keep switvhing between this nothing and that nothing.
Go on the BBC, see theres nothing there. Come back to the shroomery, check yahoo.
The cycle continues
What do you guys do for entertainment when youre killing time?

When I find myself on here for too long, I go for a walk or drive or go to khanacademy or read a book - anything remotely beneficial

I'm basically just killing time from the moment I wake up til I finally go to bed. I binge watch TV and check shroomery in between it. Might play a game or something to break up the monotony. Rarely I check Yahoo for news. Mostly though if I'm not watching something and just trying to kill time I'm sitting here refreshing the page until something of interest comes up. That really only ever happens when I know I'm going to be going to bed soon and don't want to get interested in watching anything but am not quite ready to go to sleep just yet.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I try to learn stuff. I try to code at least a bit in my spare time everyday. So many resources, open source projects to get involved in, and more that I'm never running out of stuff to do in that regard. I'll also go to pinterest and behance for inspiration. Even if you're not into that, you can pretty much learn anything or a significant bit about anything you want to online. Try and pick up a new hobby.
Another thing I like doing is reading about stuff, particularly history. /r/askhistorians is one of my favorite subreddits. I also go online window shopping a lot haha. ThisiswhyImbroke.com and other sites like it are great to peruse for that kind of stuff.
Sometimes if I've got time to kill then I'll decide to go to the store and spend a couple hours making dinner from scratch instead of throwing something together, or work on art, sew, etc.
I used to be really active, and if I had time to kill I'd go on bike rides, exercise, walk around town and check out galleries - but lately I've been dealing with some medical issues and am constantly fighting off depression and the two combined have drained me completely. A lot of times I find myself sleeping in my spare time because I just can't get enough of it recently.
I really hope I start feeling better soon.

The gym if it's open and I'm not too hung over. House shows if there's a good band playing. Friends.
Other than that it's running errands, sleeping, or watching Netflix.

This. Whether on wiki, a different news source or just watching Jeopardy(2X a day sometimes ). I look up practically anything I hear or question, every movie before I watch it, any 'new' drug I never heard of(crazy, right? )...
I used to have to go to the library or use an encyclopedia to look shit up. You kids are spoiled. I was 30 something before I found the interwebz...

If it's nice out I run, cycle, or look for interesting things to photograph, although recently I have not been photographing anything since I have been focusing on running after I take a ride, would like to incorporate some swimming in there too for the whole triathlete thing but am stuck on 2 for now, usually to pooped after that to get out and photograph anything.
If I am inside I read history or science/nature stuff online, I really need to get better at identifying mushrooms which I have learned a lot from people here, especially Alan who has linked numerous fascinating reads on current taxonomy which keep me engaged for hours.
Music is always playing, and I am always looking for new EDM or jam bands to broaden my horizon.

I stare endlessly at the screen while endlessly refreshing desperately hoping someone comments so I can feel worthwhile and engaged.
The shroomery is love, the shroomery is life.

House shows are awesome. I love a good underground music scene. I used to go to warehouse parties, house shows, and a lot of weird ass shit that got thrown by art and music collectives like showings up 2001:A Space Odyssey with live music. Way more fun than the usual night out at a bar.
There's also usually a ton of free music and events going on in most cities if you look for it, from open jam sessions to outdoor concerts that you can chill in the grass and drink and enjoy. Right now I'm just too tired to do much, it's a bummer, I can't wait to get back to actually doing things.
Another thing I used to do to kill time was just wander the city. There's a lot of really cool hole in the wall type places, and I live in a really historic area, so there's always a ton of stuff to explore and stumble across the country's oldest botany garden is here and it's basically this oasis of a meadow and garden and old structures where they sell seeds for lots of veggies and plants that's in the middle of a complete concrete jungle. I've also got a giant three story barnes and noble by me and sometimes it's cool to just go find an aisle in the corner of the store and go sit on the floor and read a book(it's more acceptable to just chill on the floor because the cafe's normally crowded as fuck, I get that it's weird otherwise).
