What is your go to activity when you're bored?

I find myself feeling bored frequently even though I have a pretty busy life. I keep myself busy with all sorts of things, even though they're not always very productive. What do you guys do when you're feeling bored. Or how do you overcome the feeling?
What I do now-
I suck my wife's titties whenever I am bored...and that boredome soon ends into something that I am quite interested in. And at times when I am so tired that I fall asleep while sucking on her titts, my wife wakes me up for her own good.

What I used to do back when I was way younger-

Throwing firecrackers down my neighbour's chimney schute,

Making my dog pee in his garden infront of him.

Flirting with his wife infront of him, all so that he gets jealous, and if his wife smiled too much while conversing with me (which most women do), the pleasure in knowing that he fr sure had a fight with her later on.

Or plain old fist fights, man. Here in London 20 years back, I used to do that. Whosoever got injured, got the benefit of having to skip school for a day or two. Not that the injuries were ever severe- just some bruises here and there, enough to get a GP's certificate and that would be enough to justify the absence.

Or just weed and beer. With friends, at sunset. £10 and we could buy enough for 3 people to get really high on. Add in another 20 and that'd be enough to take care of the hunger that immediately followed, plus enough gas to have a long drive to-and-fro the countryside and still be home by 1 in the morning.

We also had a delapidated old mansion nearby, which was at that time free of squatters (if you'd enter there today, you'd be lucky if you come out without being stabbed by a homeless criminal). The plumbing was still functional and though the lights were long cut-off by that time, we used to light candles and make it an excellent place to sit and drink.

The very odd day, once every month maybe less when I have a day to myself I'll paint or draw. I can sketch a face on a napkin better than some people that has gone to school for art. It was a hobby for years. When covid kicked off I took 2 maybe 3 months off and taught myself how to paint with water color as well. I'm working on a mixed media piece of my children right now.

For the past few years my GF and I have made a house for Halloween or Christmas. The Christmas ones look like nightmare before Christmas, still spooky themed. Go to is Michaels balsa wood house, then layer it with oven bake polymer clay and paint it. Mini everything. Got great ideas this year.

Concrete creations, coffee tables, counter tops, yard sculptures ect. Made quite a few of these for people.

There's no money in being an artist as far as I can see, all just hobbies when time permits.
 
A staple has always been playing videogames but sometimes I get fed up and don't touch them for months.

Of course there is masturbation but that kills about 10 minutes of boredom.

These past 2 years I started smoking weed regularly again, that kills boredom right there, but after a while it made me extremely depressed (wich was why I stopped before in the first place).

When I got depressed because of the weed I started driving around in my car while drinking beers and listening to music. This destroys boredom, along with your mental and physical health so I don't recommend it.

Luckily about a month ago I snapped out of it and stopped smoking weed and drinking beers.

Recently I got into watching interrogations in youtube. Usually from murderers of all kind: cannibals, serial killers, derranged meth-heads,... you name it. Problem is I'm getting out of videos to watch already.
 
Read some philosophy, study finances, enjoy some museums... don't just waste away with video games and screen time.

I watch these too when I can. I was hooked on that Karen Read trial.
 
I drive to nearby town and study stuff in cafes while sipping the cheapest shit I can buy
They probably know you already everywhere you go: "oh is this roided freak again, sipping his drink while pretending to study" :p

Back when covid I joked about farting in public because people couldn't recognize me with the mask on, and a guy told me something to the effect of: "yeah... like people don't recognize a guy looking like you from a mile away". I had a "oh shit" moment, and from then on I actually became kind of self-consciouss in public.
