What is the most trivial use you made of your internet connection ?

I just went online to look for how to make ordinary "microwaved" custard (we had thrown the packet with the instructions out)

What have you searched for in such a trivial vein

Regards

hehe plenty. Word meanings primarily other than recipes. I look up word meanings a whole lot, or even idioms and phrases. Find it extremely quick & handy in this regard.

I think you guys have done this and it’s more trivial than looking for things.
Go on line just to see if you site is up, click the link then get off if it loads.

I got bored at school one day so I opened up ie and just clicked on the pop-ups until the computer froze and died...yeah...all I can say is that was before I realized that turning the proxy server off would turn off the filter they used.

I was bored at school one day... supposed to be doing internet research but I didn't feel like it.

So, I visited the school's website and noticed a hit counter at the bottom. Then I rallied together with some other bored kids and we decided to raise the hit counter to its limit - "99999". It started at something like "01500". We got to about 8500 when the teacher noticed and made us stop.

Very stupid, and also very entertaining.
