Zeitgeist.

sooperburd's avatar

Zeitgeist, the movie? ugh, too political to be any fun for me.

Magnus's avatar

Its a thrill though, like nothing else.

sooperburd's avatar

Maybe I should have defined “thrill” as something that is fun and keeps you coming back for more.

I’m sorry, but the guidelines appear to prohibit my posting pornographic links.

Fieryspoon's avatar

Watching the credit and stock markets is pretty thrilling.

sooperburd's avatar

ooohh, I totally forgot about porn. How did that happen??!?!?

Magnus's avatar

Because you had sense for a second, sooper. Sense.

Magnus's avatar

Ring ring, itmustbeken.

Nimis's avatar

Oh, man. Please tell me you’re being ironic with your avatar.

JackAdams's avatar

To whom is your comment addressed?

Nimis's avatar

(The original querer.)

sooperburd's avatar

Not ironic. It’s a tribute to the raddest, most bitchin’ dude ever to walk (er, lay) on this planet. A man with guns, guitars, belly hair, and a great clothing sense.

Nimis, what’s so cool about your avatar?

Riparian's avatar

Casual online games.

Nimis's avatar

Only had to ask because I thought your avatar was really funny.
Then I was like Oh shit. Did they mean for it to be funny?
Just wanted to double-check.

I’m not saying my avatar is cool.
Or that yours is uncool!

Though I must say all of those guns are a little unsettling.
And I’m not anti-firearms either. I think it’s the combination of?
Did you create that avatar with a particular reaction in mind?

how do you see one’s avatar in full size?

Nimis's avatar

Right click image.
[Copy image location]
[Paste]
Delete “_thumb” from URL.
[Refresh]

Voila!

poofandmook's avatar

what if I don’t have [copy image location]?

Nimis's avatar

Hmmm…how do you usually view an image?
The only difference is that you have to delete the “_thumb” part to view it full size.

How ‘bout [Properties], then location?

This is my work computer… I’ll try it when I get home to my Mozilla. Thanks!

My cheap thrill recently has been to check on my portfolio, which is looking very anorexic.

SushiBrainS's avatar

I’m a bibliophile, so my favorite cheap thrill is being able to download free PDF versions of books on my computer.

Being able to watch Zeitgeist and Jesus Camp for free on YouTube are also highly amusing to me, because I’ve always found documentaries highly entertaining.

Imagining the Tenth Dimension

I watch this every time I need to waste 10 minutes. It never fails to boggle my mind.

poofandmook's avatar

@Anaphase: I watched that while I was eating my morning English muffin. Meaning, I just woke up.

I won’t be clicking on your links during my breakfast anymore.

I’m going to watch cartoons.

www.stumbleupon.com that button just begs to be pushed everytime I sit down at my computer. It’s been ported to iPhone also but I forget the site

Bri_L's avatar

You gotta love movies in 30 sec. with bunnies

I recommend Jaws and its a wonderful life

Anaphase's avatar

@poofandmook: Haha, not one for mental stimulation in the early hours?

poofandmook's avatar

@Anaphase: Not math or science. My brain can’t process numbers… it shuts down. Science? I slept through most of my science classes. I’m a left-side-of-the-brain person.

VS's avatar

it takes a lot to scare me, but I think @sooperburd avatar did it
As to the OP’s question, I have to agree with @skabeep I love www.stumbleupon.com just for its randomness!
