The first suggestion that appeared for me was “Trying CBD”. Is that really a “unique activity idea for the holiday break”?

haha mine was "lockpicking"

I make custom lock picks was member of TOOOL - and have a few cool tricks up my sleeve:

More exciting than mine, "doing an expense report" or "checking your subscriptions".

"contemplate how that spider you can see in the corner when youre on the toilet, can survive so long without any critters in her web?"

"spend ten minutes attempting to come up with a name for your dying plant, because if you just remember to talk to it - it wont leave you like everyone else has"

"Promise yourself youll fold the laundry after you rest your eyes for a few minutes"

I'm pretty good at this game!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Didn't HN just get in an uproar over T Mobile disallowing marketing texts where the topic was illegal in one state but legal in another? So do we want legal-in-some states items or not?

Who is "we"? There's more than one person commenting on HN and they don't always agree.

The people who I describe, which were a bunch.

Some things I noticed: The list is fairly short (70 activities total). Once filtered it would be easier to simply display all matching activities. Many of the "Low" cost activities have significant upfront costs. I wouldn't describe Archery as "low cost", nor describe Astronomy or a board game night as Free activities! It was easier just to read the raw JSON than browse the site. ( The activities are https://www.what…

> a board game night as Free activities! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamecategory/1120/print-play & https://boardgamegeek.com/forum/974620/bgg/design-contests BGGs site is always a bit confusing to me to navigate, but searching for "pnp" or "print and play" and a contest year will probably surface a lot of good "free" (or at least, free to print....) You can at least certainly get a bunch printed for cheaper than…

Besides, board games are dirt cheap entertainment. Assuming a cost of 50 of your local currency, split between four people for entertainment for perhaps six to ten hours is hard to beat. And you can typically sell the games to recover 50% of what you paid.

In fact, if you buy used, and resell when you're bored of the game, if can be pretty much free.

Really cool can definitely use something like this, thanks! Even more activities would be great. Suggestions: - Perhaps a way to view all activities? or activities within the specified selections rather than having to use the suprise - I noticed repeating activities before hitting the 70 limit, perhaps some memory?

Thanks! Wait, you tried to see ALL of them? That's some commitment. Yes, unfortunately you'll get repeated activities. We set a limit to not repeat an activity you've already seen in the previous 3 cards, but for some filter combinations there's not enough of them

This list includes taking drugs? Do you think it should have an age acceptance for terms and conditions?

I think not, I'm not selling drugs. The only two related activities are trying CBD (which is legal in many countries, and depends on the THC amount), and space cake. I'm just giving suggestions, if it's illegal in your location or you don't like it, just ignore it. Terms and conditions sounds like an overkill to me, but let me know if there's something I'm overlooking here.
