When boredom hits, what do you do?

When you find yourself bored as hell and none of your usual activities/hobbies really seem interesting at the moment or don't feel motivated to do one of them, what mindless thing do you find yourself usually doing to kill the time/boredom?
I usually find myself reading some random off the wall shit, like Wiki articles on completely obscure things, or looking up the full details of certain events and the like.

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 find myself frantically building coils and watching build & review videos.

I like to read wiki articles/surf shroomery, read about history, mushrooms, psychology.
I get stuck in a wiki binge sometime, that's kinda fun.
Listen to music a lot as well.

Wikipedia binges. This one repetitive but simple and fun computer game called QuakeLIVE. Contemplate the universe, outside, usually at night in the garden. Think about girls I have a crush on and imagine being with them. Go hug mum. Have a cup of coffee. Have a cup of green tea. Smoke meth.

Seems theres a common thread going on here. For me its wikipedia binges, or I sit down and plug away at the massive backlog of crafting I need to do (usually some of the more mindless stuff if i'm not feeling creative at the moment) or I sleep. or masturbate.

Either porn or reading papers on pubmed.
If that doesn't help I'll go for a drive.

Reading about aliens, government conspiracies, watching porn, wikipedia binges, etc. If I'm really bored, I just get drunk or high, or both.

Does almost everyone go to wiki when they're bored and just need some mindless thing to do? I knew it was kinda common, I didn't think it'd be this common though.
For me it often starts out as some random thought that popped in my head, and then that thought will branch off and I'll wonder about some other related thing, at some point through this process I'll think of something I really don't know the answer to already and decide to go look it up. Then I do and start reading and all kinds of new shit will pop up in the article, which I then have to investigate piece by piece. I usually end up killing a couple of hours through this random reading.
I really could end up doing it all day, but I have to stop myself at about the 45 min-hour mark and promise not to open any more pages and just read all that I have open already.

Definitely on board with google/wiki search binges. And sometimes
When my hand starts to cramp I also like to read or kill time with some video games.
I'll also spend some time on those search binges wondering how I got from A to B. Like how did I start reading about the Fukashima (sp?) disaster and wind up reading about penguins vascular systems? Dafauq?
