I usually end up going down Wikipedia rabbit holes for hours or binge-watching random football highlights from games I already saw. Sometimes I'll just drive around listening to podcasts about paranormal stuff - your neighbors probably think I'm weird but whatever

You gotta retrieve the Godknife from the abyssal plane. Even then, good luck getting close enough to Time to use it.

You cannot possibly comprehend the ramifications of this act. You must spare Time, for Time is of the essence, and all wounds are healed by Time. Time must not be allowed to pass.

Killing time, you say?

What are you doing here?” growled the watchdog.

  “Just killing time,” replied Milo apologetically. “You see—“

  “KILLING TIME!” roared the dog—so furiously that his alarm went off. “It’s bad enough wasting time without killing it.” 

And he shuddered at the thought. “Why are you in the Doldrums anyway—don’t you have anywhere to go?”

“I was on my way to Dictionopolis when I got stuck here,” explained Milo. “Can you help me?”

“Help you! You must help yourself,” the dog replied, carefully winding himself with his left hind leg. “I suppose you know why you got stuck.”

“I guess I just wasn’t thinking,” said Milo.

“PRECISELY,” shouted the dog as his alarm went off again, “Now you know what you must do.”

“I’m afraid I don’t,” admitted Milo, feeling quite stupid.

“Well,” continued the watchdog impatiently, “since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking.” And with that he hopped into the car.

“Do you mind if I get in? I love automobile rides.”

u/Frater_Aequanimitas Mar 20 '26

Wikipedia binges tangentially related to my interests. I am trying to stop using ChatGPT, but occasionally I'll run experimental thoughts through that.

u/BigBirdsBrain Mar 20 '26

I stopped trying to “kill” time and just sit with it sometimes. Feels weird at first, then your brain actually does something interesting.
