If you are truly bored, generate your own task using this formula: bordem v2

[Number] + [Object] + [Verb] + [Constraint] Current UI/UX design exploits Boredom V2 by offering

Roll a virtual die (or pick 1-6) for each column: If you are truly bored, generate your own

| Roll | Number | Object | Verb | Constraint | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | 3 | Spoons | Balance | Using only your left hand | | 2 | 5 | Shoes | Arrange | In alphabetical order by smell | | 3 | 10 | Coins | Stack | Without them falling for 30 seconds | | 4 | 2 | Books | Narrate | In the voice of a movie trailer | | 5 | 4 | Drawers | Close | In a specific rhythm (clap, close, clap) | | 6 | 1 | Window | Stare | Until you see a bird or a cat |

Example Result: (Roll 2, 4, 4, 4) = "5 Books, Narrate, In the voice of a movie trailer." Go.


Boredom V2 is characterized by three interacting sub-mechanisms:
