About You
Let’s face it, you’re here to waste time. You’re either bored to death by work, have endless chapters of academia to study, or a multitude of chores that simply will not get done on their own. The common denominator? You’re supposed to be doing something else. After all, could you really waste time if you had nothing to do?
About Us
We at DTW applaud your independent spirit. We respect your courage to defy and outright ignore rigid timetables, deadlines, routines or schedules. We support you in your quest to free yourselves from the bonds of modern-day conformist ideologies that want nothing more than to submit you to their will. These obstacles are often collectively known as the Man.
The biggest problem facing the lethargic masses has always been how to distract themselves from the needs of the Man. We have scoured the Internet (the Man’s single greatest accomplishment, and consequently, his greatest threat) to find you the best, highest-quality, time wasting entertainment available, all compiled into one easy to navigate resource.
We are motivated by our most primal urge to produce and contribute as little as possible, all the while appearing to be efficient and industrious worker bees. All empirical evidence has revealed that being glued to the computer screen dramatically increases the opinion of others as to one’s perceived productivity and fosters a positive attitude towards one’s work habits. We take great pride in knowing that the opposite is true. If anything, an abundance of free time should indicate that one is exceedingly good at what they do, managing their time so as not to become burnt out or otherwise occupationally impaired. But in the real world, business (directly related to busy-ness) demands that we work, or at least appear to work, for a whole 8 hours and beyond. This is simply not possible. Hence you have found your way to our site.
As with any new and exciting development in time wasting, DTW has discovered that a limited set of drawbacks exist, threatening our time wasting values and way of life. Because we have the time, we shall take a few moments to discuss the most pertinent of these concerns.
Human interaction
This is generally considered as healthy and essential to ‘normal’ emotional development. While we acknowledge that much time can be wasted in large groups, the perceived work benefits of diligent isolation (discussed above) far outweigh any need to speak or even look at another human being.
Halitosis
One cannot always predict when human interaction will be necessary, so it is important to understand that one should take the time to at least brush their teeth in the morning. I know what you’re saying, “but cleaning sounds like a chore”, and you’re right, but take a look at it this way … if four out of five dentists recommend brushing your teeth with any given paste, then at least one out of five believes that it is a waste of time. To illustrate, consider this: there are over 16,000 dentists in Canada alone (source). That means that at least 3,200 dentists think that brushing is a waste of time. 3,200 dentists can’t be wrong.
Vitamin D
Science suggests that vitamin D, an essential nutrient to help our bodies absorb calcium, is best obtained by limited exposure to sun light, specifically UV rays. While we at DTW believe the jury is still out, we recommend that you purchase a UV light box* and station it near or above your computer. But be warned, the same scientists also say that too much UV can be bad for your skin (make up your minds!), so please follow the instructions on the packaging … you know, the ones that are usually in Chinese or Swedish and are generally a waste of time.
Again, we congratulate you in your determination to ‘stick it to the Man’ and ‘fight the power’, and other clichéd anti-establishment sentiments. Keep reading, writing and playing for your own benefit, not His.
And if you haven’t guessed by now, this too was a complete waste of time.
* DTW has no medical training or moral authority to recommend any health-related device or service. Consult your doctor before installing a UV light box and waste his/her time.
