Are you stressed out and looking for something to do to take your mind off your worries? Here are 10 most interesting things to do online just to unwind.
This is the first in a series of articles, which will focus on fun and interesting things to do on the Internet. The websites and activities must be incredibly interesting and rather unique to qualify for one of the articles in this series. So, prepare to unwind your mind and have a little fun at the same time.
Digital Films
Let your creative juices flow at DigitalFilms.com as you prepare to produce your very own digital movie that you can email or share with your friends and family. Choose your own background scene, characters, animated actions, dialog, introduction and ending credits and everything that you will need to produce your own digital film for free. Let your creativity shine online and share your creation with the world.
Food Fighting
Start a food fight online among your family and friends by throwing virtual food at them via email. Simply select the type of food you wish to toss their way from red ripe tomatoes to cream pies without having to clean up any mess. This concept is simple, but fun when more people get involved.
Strange Reports
We all know someone who likes playing practical jokes and pranks on unsuspecting people. Now get ready for some sweet payback by creating a virtual prank with their name written all over it. Send a fake news report with your victim named as the sole suspect that the police are looking for via email. You create the news report using the tools that StrangeReports.com provides and then you simply forward the report to your victim’s email address and let the fun begin.
Folding U.S. Paper Money
After stumbling across this interesting money folding activity on Bored.com, I knew that this one activity that would blow your mind. You can fold U.S. paper money using the techniques shown on this website to see the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center on fire or you can see Osama in The Pentagon and so, much more by simply folding your money correctly. This exercise will blow your mind. I promise.
The Dialectizer
This website lets visitors convert any English text into several comic dialects from Pig Latin to Redneck and several other dialects. Simply type the URL of any website written in the English language, select the dialect of your choice, and then click Dialectize, so you can see your favorite websites converted into the language that you selected.
Cave of Magic
Originally I had my doubts about this mind control magic trick, but admittedly it blew my mind, because it worked. Cave of Magic is a card trick that guides visitors through a series of short exercises, before it has you pick a single card, and then Simeon (your guide) mysteriously reads your mind and picks the card that you have selected. It’s wild, weird and most importantly, it really works.
Crazy Images
This is a must see website that offers its visitors a wide selection of amazing interactive activities that will keep you busily entertained for hours. Choose from image menu an activity that you want to see, and then using your mouse take control making the images change right before your eyes. Hidden within some of the images are nuggets of treasures that will reveal more websites and activities that will blow your mind. I’ll leave finding these Easter Eggs embedded within some of the activities on this website up to you to discover, because it is part of the fun.
Fortune Teller
Just for fun, let’s see what your fortune has in store for your future. You can choose from nine different kinds of readings that are each focused on a different aspect of your life. Similar to tarot card readings, but using a regular deck of playing cards these readings are pretty dare accurate.
Match Age
Try to accurately guess the real ages of the people shown on this site using only the photograph that the user has provided or upload your own photo and let other people try to guess your age. This is an extremely addictive activity, so you might want to avoid visiting this site until you have more free time available.
Get Makeovers
Have you been considering changing the natural color of your hair or getting a new hairstyle, but are a little nervous about what the changes might do to your look, then before you do anything too extreme checkout this website first. You can upload your photo and change your hairstyle, makeup, glasses, and many other things until you discover the best new look for you and before you actually do anything to yourself in real life. This is a really useful website as well as a lot of fun to unwind while using.

You forgot to mention the wonderful world of microblogging including Twitter and Plurk.

Fantastic information, but thevillage.com should be considered for your next article. Thevillage.com is a social network that allows the average joe or jane to build their own social network that is kind of like Myspace. It’s a pretty cool tool if you have the time to set everything up.

O enjoyed this article but encountered a problem with the web page for the “STRANGE REPORTS” (#3) item. After I linked over to it there was nowhere on that site to link to the next site to begin. So essentially it didn’t work. Which was a shame because it struck me as the most interesting thing to do of all ten listed.

Cave of magic doesnt just take away your car. It takes away all of the cards, it keeps the numbers and changes the suits.. not so amazed
But i do like the age guesser one

The match age thing, and as a matter of fact most of the things here are for children.
This is dumb.
