How easy do you waste time on Wikipedia?
So many times I have been reading a wikipedia page about.....lets say...history and end up with about 10 tabs waiting to be looked at which all link to subjects I know I'll find interesting which leads to another 3-4 tabs.
I could spend hours just reading.

Time you enjoy wasting isn't time wasted.
-
Yeah I end up just reading a lot of it until I snap outta it
-
See, it either ends up just reading endless interesting articles, or doing wikipedia races with friends. Ex: start on ebola and make your way to Kanye West or something, and see who can do it first

6 RepliesI bet I can guess what your Wiki tabs are about.

To fully understand an article on Wikipedia, one must read all the linked articles in that article. Therefore to successfully read the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light]Light[/url] article one must first read and/or understand the basics of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation]Electromagnetic radiation[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception]Visual perception[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye]Human eye[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength]Wavelength[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanometre]Nanometre[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_light]Infrared[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_light]Ultraviolet light[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensity_(physics)]Intensity[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency]Frequency[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength]Wavelength[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum]Spectrum[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(waves)]Polarization[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light]Speed of light[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_constant]Mathematical constant[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon]Photon[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave]Wave[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics]Particle physics[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality]Wave-particle duality[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics]Optics[/url], [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics]Physics[/url] articles (and more).

Not really, but it happens with tvtropes for me.
-
Hell yeah.
-
Pretty easily, although recently I've found myself having 15+ tabs of music on Youtube open. And let's not even get started on TV Tropes.

1 ReplyNah More like YouTube Ooo That related video looks interesting
-
I usually play a hopscotch paddy-whack with Wikipedia, clicking into one page after another.
-
If I look up something on Wikipedia (especially if it is quantum physics or something) I usually have a bunch of tabs open to try to understand all the new terms.

It's very easy; the Hitler game is pretty fun too.

THAT AINT KANYE THATS MONTANA

Edited by SexyPiranha: 7/6/2014 1:51:35 AMI can easily kill several hours with 9-10 tabs open, mostly theoretical physics and cosmology. That and the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

1 ReplyHistory, huh? Let me guess, it's your glorious british empire right?

6 RepliesWhen I was busy trying to kill time at school, I could easily spend 5-6 hours just reading tabs on everything from Dolphin brain structure to chemical compositions of whatever medicine came to mind <.< Having a reduced timetable with compulsory attendance days was... dull...
-
Same here, I love reading web articles about scientific/historical information.
-
2 RepliesI don't go on the Wiki much. Only when I'm proving someone wrong or something. Reading in general? I usually set goals. For example, I would start reading at chapter one, and depending on if I'm tired or not, I'd read until chapter ten.

Same. I have several bookmarked pages that I still haven't looked at.
-
Staring at a computer screen for too long strains my eyes, so I can't say I've ever done this.

Edited by Alphy : 7/5/2014 10:33:12 PMVery easy. I can go from skeletons to trains to lightning to Soviet Union somehow But I usually only read interesting parts or look at the pictures lol.
