The Best Websites for Wasting Time on the Internet
1. Find the Invisible Cow (findtheinvisiblecow.com)
Oh, boy! This website doesn’t even need an introduction. It does exactly what the title says. You have to find the cow by listening to the audio from the page shown to you. You will realize that the audio changes when you move the mouse cursor from one side of the page to another.
Once you find the cow, you will move a level up and look for other animals. There are over 25 million animals recorded around the globe. So, we hope you have lots of spare time to waste.
2. Illustration Generator by Icons8
Illustration Generator is an online tool that helps you create consistent illustrations in five unique art styles. But it can be used not only for creative or marketing purposes but also for fun.

Experimenting with drafts is free, so you can generate as many images as you want.
