What the hell am I going to do all day?

Because of the corona pandemic, I / my fellow human beings are locked up.

I'm only allowed to use my PC in the evening, and only for 2 hours.

I'm on my laptop all the time and don't know what to do.

We have a garden, but I don't want to go out.

Does anyone have tips on what to do about boredom?

Must neither go out nor be on the PC.

I have no idea, just spend the time being addicted to cell phones: /. Do you have any hobbies or anything?

Gu

No

E: Possibly Taking photos. But I can hardly do that because I'm not allowed out haha

Gl

Well… Probably welcome to the club 😂

You could cook or bake something, read something, do sports at home, tidy up or muck out, draw or paint, play board games with your fellow humans, talk on the phone with friends, etc.

Probably something "old school", but something different than you might otherwise do.

(You could also research a topic on the internet that you have always been interested in and watch documentaries or listen to podcasts.)

Gu

Baking and cooking is something for women, I could do some cleaning up, yes.

Di

Let's see how long you can get away with this setting. Should be times in life when you have no woman in the kitchen.

Hope I could help you anyway.

I'm disappointed with today's generation.

Photography is a good start. You can do this quite well indoors.

Take a look on the Internet, Instagram or on the websites of photographers to see what they can conjure up from a boring house item. If you really put it into Zene it can be really fun and you will get a great result.

I'm sorry but Instagarm is below my level.

But I'll try Thank you so much!

Gu

'' Then get bored for a change ''

Okay thank you very much.

Za

With pleasure.

Seriously, just try a variety of things without finding them stupid from the start, because only daddling is cool. Then you have a double effect: Maybe you will find a new hobby like this and if not it will make the time go faster than crouching

Did you write the whole thing or is it copy and paste?

da

I put it together years ago. And since this question comes up several times a day, I started to paste at some point.

Gu

Okay thank you very much.

Di

Funny, me too.

De

However, many of the suggestions that are currently not possible are prohibited. Maybe you should take them out of the list, otherwise it sounds a lot cynical.

De

Funny, the most famous top chefs are all men! There are also a lot of hobby chefs who are not too good to pursue this creative activity and keep improving. Sure, a little something you should have in your brain… Not just stupid prejudices and even stupid sayings.

See if the
Indoor activities are something for you:

What exactly did you not understand about the introductory sentence to the list?

De

What did you not understand about the restrictions imposed? You list a number of indoor activities that are currently not possible. Or do you just attend street theater performances to call a theater or museum visit an outdoor activity? These are just two examples from your list. "Indoor" doesn't just mean at home in a quiet closet!

I can only use my PC in the evening, and only for 2 hours.

I'm on my laptop all the time

I do not understand. What is a PC different from a laptop? Ultimately, both are computers and both can be used to access the Internet. Or can you only play with the PC?

Gu

Thank you very much for the comment

Gu

I can only play with the PC.
I'm a professional gambler, play Fortnite Battle Royale lol. No joke.
