Terry Pratchets take on boredom.

When I'm bored I find that whats really going on with me is that theres something in my brain blocking the other parts of my brain that usually enjoy and/or take interest in what I'm doing.

With me it's usually repressed anger.

I'm bored with excitement...
Ants must have the most boring job on earth, and yet they always seem so enthusiastic about it.
I think much of my religious understanding comes from ants.

I think I'm tired of the hamster wheel...

A lot of the time when I think something's going to be boring it turns out to be the exact opposite, just like when I think something's going to be interesting, etc.

Think everything will be boring, so you can have fun all the time!

For a while I ran out of things to watch on prime video, and everything I tried that looked really good turned out to be a dud.

So as a semi last resort I started watching documentaries expecting to be bored. A lot of them just sucked me right in.

I think it turned a part of my brain back on that had been petrified for a while.

I pretty much watch whatever the kids have going...

That baby monkey's kinda funny.

But I usually make them change it when its grown men playing with toys.

What baby monkey is that?
A little monkey that seems to spend a lot of time grocery shopping, and then spending a lot of time on the toilet.

It makes sense.

Its a real monkey... the scenes are just ridiculous.
That can be a problem, depending on the context.
I feel its a problem in any context, but acknowledge the severity of the problem can vary greatly.
