I'm not even surprised by a fanfic being the longest work of fiction ever written, I routinely see fanfic authors putting out 250,00+ word works.

116 hours on a toilet is wild 😅🚽

Damn that fanfic is The Wheel of Time long. That's freaking impressive. The Wheel of Time is so good and so long. I worked as an analyst for a small wastewater testing company and it took me over two months to listen to The Wheel of Time working 40+ hours a week. Job was crazy I would work 15-18hr days sometimes because the other analysts were lazy bastards and I just kept getting more and more stuff piled on me. I had to work a three 12+hr days culminating in a 24hr day so that I could take a two week vacation meanwhile the other two guys that worked on my side got mad at me because I didn't help bring the 3 trash cans to the road once a week. I'm putting in 15-18hr days at least once a week because of my workload, which they never once offered to help, and then they got pissed at me because I didn't help bring out the trash cans to the road. Two guys three wheeled trash cans doesn't seem like a big deal but apparently it was to these lazy bastards. I did take the trash from the interior trash cans to the outer one, often cleaning theirs without being asked, but guess that wasn't good enough. These jerks workloads were so light they could go on vacation without having to work any overtime at all just pick the pace up a little and not spend hours surfing the internet or standing around BS'ing. Eventually I got tired of the crap and quit.

I watched that Capone vault opening live. I remember my dad laughing his ass off when it opened and he saw nothing

14:33 That story of Guillaume Le Gentil has to be world record of someone with the worst luck ever.

According to my parents, I've been a waste of time for 29 years

You're forgetting the biggest waste of time: getting into an internet argument.

Bro took “gotta catch them all” to a next level😂😂😂

Respect to the man who caught them all and becoming fit and slim

To each his own. If they enjoyed doing it, then they didn't waste their time. Live your life the way you love it as long as you are not hurting anyone else.

On my Navy ship in the early 1980s, I once stayed awake and working for 54 hours straight. One does NOT tell the Captain one is going to sleep with a critical piece of equipment still broken! I finally got it fixed, and I looked and felt like the walking dead. My Seniorchief finally ordered me to "get horizontal", in other words get some sleep! I cannot believe anyone can go 90+ hours awake. Ain't gonna happen. 😒

This shouldn't be tolerated, 2.5 billion down the drain of tax payer money wasted on a hole in the ground, 20 million dollars of tax payer money and 5 years gone with a dead cat??? Wtf

I really felt bad for Guillaume De Gentil. All the guy wanted to do was track Venus and he ran into an endless amount of bad luck. What really hurt was in the end where he was declared dead and his wife remarried.

“biggest wastes of time ever: he caught them all” you sir, have just insulted millions and millions of people at once

The biggest waste of time is subjective and can vary depending on individual preferences and priorities. However, some common examples include: 1. Mindlessly scrolling through social media for hours without any meaningful engagement or purpose. 2. Procrastinating on important tasks or responsibilities instead of taking action. 3. Engaging in activities that provide little or no personal or professional growth, such as excessive gaming or binge-watching TV shows. 4. Getting caught up in gossip or drama that doesn't contribute positively to your life or relationships. 5. Holding onto grudges or dwelling on past mistakes instead of focusing on the present and moving forward. Ultimately, what constitutes a waste of time depends on your values, goals, and how you choose to spend your time. It's important to find a balance between leisure activities and productive pursuits that contribute to your overall well-being and fulfillment.

Bro just said sure I'll be back in 5 mins and then left for 37 yrs 💀

17:53 I would definitely put that highway to use, as a race track🤣🤣

Actually, talking about wasted time, my teacher told me to write a fictional story, a fantasy fiction one to be exact, and I did. I poured my heart and soul into my story, I even put a whole story line, with a very meaningful plot, and I actually wanted to use this story to help people and I wanted to sell the book, and actually make progress out of it. UNTIL the teacher force-stopped the progress of my book, with drawings and all. Then, when it was time for it to be graded, I was doomed. We did have a show and tell of our stories, but people were only allowed to look at one page of the book. And when the teacher graded it, she acted like it was never there, and even though she promised to let us finish it, she didn't give us time to, proving that what she said was a whole lie. So, no one acknowledged my hard-work. It was a waste of time, but I still plan on selling the story once I finish it.

bro took "gotta chatch 'em all" to a new level

26:17 ayyyy that's my go-to for fanfiction. Even writing one and have it published on there myself 😁

(18:04) The worst part for the guy who set out to type the names of the numbers from one to one million is that the task would have seemed like a monumental and significant task when begun in 1984...however, by the time he finished in 1998, a moderately clever child could easily write the small amount of code that would generate the list of numbers in seconds.

I got the max cape back in the day. And yes it takes thousands of hours to get it. Was it worth it. I’d say yes. Just seeing all the people look at me when I walked passed them.

I remember watching Geraldo and Al Capone's vault! What an epic fail. Geraldo never quite lived it down. But at least the special had some interesting info about Al Capone.

The one about shinies needs to be updated because your numbers assume max odds. I’m the older games (gen 2) there’s a method to make 1/64 opposite gender hatches shiny, moving up to gen 4 you can get a 21.34% chance on all wild encounters using the cute charm glitch, and in newer games you can get odds as low as 1/100, 1/152. Also keeping in mind that a lot of players use bots to auto farm shinies for them (you can literally just leave the system plugged in and catch a few shinies every day with no effort) Not saying what the players did isn’t amazing (only caught 10 shinies in my Pokémon play through a myself), I’m just saying it’s not really that big of a waste and especially on the newer consoles I would assume they did some trading/botting

at 11:07 it kinda sounds like the CW's Flash got some inspiration from this failed attempt to make a Particle Accelerator-like project

I watched Gerald open Capone's vault live, at the time, seemed unbelievable that something on TV wasn't true... Imagine that.

Number 1 biggest waste of time ever: Watching the entirety of One Piece with a record of 17.5 days of nonstop watching to finish.

Legends day that this man in the thumbnail is still tryna catch them all

😔 I'm sad about acoustic kitty, you'd think that after 5 years they would've taught him how to maneuver through traffic.

My grandfather always said my life was one big waste of time. So far its been 46 years. I win!!!!! Thanks g pa!!!

Before this video, I thought I was a time-wasting person. Now I feel like a small ant compared to them :o

I've lost track of all my fan-fiction and original works I've written. The longest single one is 12 chapters, about 100kb in notepad each. Most of them take place across several different shorter stories though and I'm too lazy to poke through them right now, lol

For the video game ones I don’t see them as a waste of time compared to some of the other ones on this list that’s just dedication

As a person who struggles with limited mobility I have played runescape off and on for 17 years and achieved the max cape at least 4 times on RS3 now. However nowdays that is not as insane as it seems especially when compared to the insanity of the master quest cape, completionest cape and Trimmed completionest cape. Yes doing these things does require a lot of time but consider that it is a game where you can talk and play with other people and i have several friends from there who ive been friends with through multiple year long breaks on both sides. The game was where we met but the friendship has lasted for longer than our interest in the game.

I love these videos, this guys voice is deep and soothing.

I got a shiny tentacruel without even realizing it Never thought it was THAT rare 😅🙃

@22:30 The Nyan Cat animation is now more known from the Memz Trojan. When a computer is infected with this, restarting the computer will only run the Nyan Cat animation indefinitely.

I'm not surprised by a fanfiction being that long. It's the people who read it multiple times that get me. Actually it doesn't. some fans are really just that. just impressive.

For someone growing up in the 90's and 2000's, watching a marathon of your favorite cartoon or animated shows was a wonderful thing. Before there were tv collections on DVDs or streaming services, the only way you'd get your fix on your favorite tv series was to watch it in a marathon. Even recording it on tape was a thing if you wanted to watch it in the future. I think some people can understand what I'm talking about!

Lmao honestly I was ready to talk about this video too but I love all the information you give us

@13:30 bet that guy had a heart attack, when the copy paste function was developed.

I never knew there was actually someone who caught all the Pokémon, I thought that wasn’t even possible because some of them were only available in limited additions that aren’t available anymore

Be amazed is amazing

I can't believe the Revel made it on this list, a monument of wasted resources at its finest. As a carpenter there, most of my years on that job felt like a huge waste of my time. We completely finished one of the restaurants, only to demo and rebuilt it, because the chef didn't like where a trashcan was sitting. I really wish that was an exaggeration. We built the same set of walls 6 times due to problems occurring after their construction. 1st and 2nd water damage from the weather, 3rd and 4th fires, 5th crane collapse, and 6th finally nothing bad happened. In the strip club we installed floor to ceiling wainscoting and the painters painted murals on them. Because everyone looks at beautiful decorated walls in a dimly lit room with strippers.

was watching this while playing OSRS (old School Runescape) trying to get max cape, now it is listed as waste of time -.-

5:08 you failed to mention the odd modifiers like the "shinny charm" and the "matsuda method" both of which, reduce the odds of encounter significantly, now a days "shinny" hunting is pretty much an integral part of competitive players and it's no longer rare nor time consuming as it used to be.

I'll tell ya worst waste of time. Depression!! I should of counted the endless hours I was stuck just laying there in bed being paralyzed not even interested in watching my favorite KZfaq channel "Be Amazed" there were times I did manage to get up and go lay on the couch,but still did nothing but try to sleep it away. The 2nd suckiest part of depression is you never know when it will hit you and never knowing when it will go away. So I say godspeed to any and all others that have or is going through it at the moment. Of course if you're going through it right now then you'll most likely not be in KZfaq comments wasting your life reading other people's posts. Just remember,there are better times ahead and don't take for granted and appreciate the hell out of your non- depression moments of your life!! ❤

Acoustic kitty....give me a break! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

After much research about Simeon the Stylites, his habit was not a waste of time and did not end up in vain. His preaching conveyed temperance and compassion, and was marked with common sense and freedom from fanaticism. And especially taught against profanity and usury. Even the monks told him to stay where he was. One of the miracle I learned was that once when Simeon was ill, Theodosius sent three bishops to beg him to come down and allow himself to be attended by physicians. But Simeon preferred to leave his cure in the hands of God, and before long he recovered. And when his mother died, he asked that his mother's coffin be brought to him. And bid farewell. Not even his own mother could visit him and she embraces the monastic life style and knowing the statement which follows, "If we are worthy, we shall see one another in the life to come." Same principle stated in the bible for sure.

11:33 oh man, I haven't heard of the superconducting super collider since I was a kid... It used to be in the news every so often in the 80s and early 90s.

1. That electron tunnel does exist in Switzerland and functional, Americans just unable to make it 2. Alphabetical numbers do use in Notarial Documents and/or documents issued by Consular/Foreign affairs by some countries

The last one is wild. 37 years doing nothing 😂 bro became an adult and said I ain't doing this 😂😂😂

At least watching this video is not a waste of time at all! Love your videos! Merry Christmas!

22:01 OMG THIS DROVE ME CRAZY I THOUGHT MY DISCORD WAS GLITCHED OR SOMTHIN

Less than 100 hours binge watching... . That's easy. But if said binge watch doesn't allow toilet break and preparing/eating meal while watching, then that's just not good. . I remember starting my anime watching with a two week anime binge just a month after graduating highschool. Friends finally convinced me to watch anime when I missed them talking about them so much.

“In the 1960’s I acted their craziest ever schEME”😂 6:50

I will never get this time of my life back

My biggest waste of time is making a plan, not sticking to the plan, and then spending time making another plan 🤣🤣 Btw, love your videos! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄❤️

RuneScape is still going strong btw 8:54 just so you know

The fanfic one where the people read it multiple times isn’t really that crazy I myself am able to read 300000 word books in a single day with large breaks and distractions so if you really put your mind to it you could probably read a 500000 word book in a day with breaks of course so to read the entire fan fic bible you would need at least 2 weeks with breaks and school with stuff between

I waste my whole life doing stupid things like talking to people

'For the love of God people look after your wallet' 😂😂killed me laughing

Not finishing the super collider is probably the biggest scientific failure in American history

Granted, with the new shiny odds and options like Cute Charm, filling your shiny dex doesn't take as long as one might think. But it's still a shit ton of work.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Wandering Inn was up there with longest works of fiction. Author puts out about 40k-50k words every single week and has done so for literally years with no end in sight.

I’ve stayed up late watching all one thousand Be Amazed videos!

You're one reason I stayed on KZfaq, and movies reviews.

I forced my friend and I through a ten hour loop of nyan cat. I literally got flashbacks while typing this. 😂💀

15:45 that is kinda humiliating

Crazy part of TV series marathons, most now don't show every episode in the show

37 Years doing nothing.... That's not a Saint, that's a Politician....

6:54 LMAO

That's probably the most informative video I've scene in a long time, thanks guys!

Imagine watching him everyday and then going to school telling friends about it all Literally me 🤣🤣🤣

about the max cape: That cape is not even the hardest one to get nowadays. There is also something thats called the completionist cape. For that one you need to have not only gotten all skills ln lvl 99 but several skills at lvl 120. And you need to have mastered every single minigame, finished every quest in the game. Found all the lore and several other really obnoxious timewasting requirements. If you think mastering mini games or finding all lore is easy you are oh so wrong. For the lore thing: you have a skill called dungeoneering that is a roquelike thing. You need to find every lorebook in there but its completly random wich one you get and there are over 100 different ones. If you are unlucky just that part can already take over 1000 hours. For the minigame you need to have cleared every minigame a certain amount off time. Some spam in the the thousands off times you need to clear them. And there are over 20 different ones. This also takes 10s off thousands hours to do. And this is all on top off the already ridiculous max cape requirements since you also do need to have the max cape to even be able to buy the completionist cape.

6:30 These guys r the very best like no one ever was 🤣🤣

"The time we enjoy wasting, is not 'wasted time'" ~ Ott

"hell yeah" *clicks replay* that man is a legend

imagine becoming more skinny by catching them all in a pixel game 💀💀

The pokemon 1 is worse than you think You have legendarys that are hard to catch so even if you find a shiny have to actually catch it You have pokemon like abra who will teleport on their first turn Pokemon that only hatch from eggs And of course the 3 starters in each game

Thumbnail: $4,000,000,000 NEVER USED Also thumbnail: A car using it

Man we need more parts😂😂😂this was awesome

My biggest waste of time is writing a story about my own Skyrim character. It began when I spent over a thousand hours (about a month and 11 days) playing the game normally and beating it many times. Then I decided to learn how to mod the game. Knowing about as much about computers as a chimpanzee, I spent a total of 12 hours learning to mod the game. Over time, I spent another 7 months creating a load order for my mods. That was when I decided to actually write a story about her (my character’s) life, from start to finish, which took another 6 months. In total, I spent over a whole year and 2 months playing Skyrim (the Special Edition, to be precise), creating a character, learning to mod Skyrim, and then writing a story that no one but me will ever see. I’m still proud of it regardless.

20:55 when the captions completely spoil the surprise

The fact that the last one was a waste of time bc the end goal was enlightenment 😂😂😂 I love this take.

Pokémon is a hobby he could’ve been shiny hunting when he had free time.

Well... I can pretty much say that almost my entire 20s was a complete waste of time and life due to a pain pill and Adderall addiction. I definitely didn't accomplish anything new that was worthwhile during that time period. Plus a lot of the great things that I had accomplished prior to that time period I managed to plow into the ground and destroy. So I can pretty confidently say that I was at one time an expert and professional at wasting time and life! However... the best part is that in a few days on 3/21/2022 it will mark 6 years of freedom from that wasted decade of my time and life!!! During those 6 years I haven't wasted any time, have accomplished all kinds of great things, and am well on my way to restoring myself to the former glory that I had before that wasted decade. In some ways during the past 6 years i have already surpassed many of the things and accomplishments that I had prior to that wasted decade. Anyways I just figured I would tell a little about the time period when I definitely learned a huge lesson about wasting time and life!

If someone made a 100 or 10,000,000 hour video it will definitely brake world record for the super duper long video

the thumbnail wasn't a waste it was a man being a legend

Three years is *nothing* when you're looking to truly ~Shine~ at being The Very Best at catching them all!~ 🖤💜🖤💜🖤

25:00 Imagine that being an entire animated episode on tv

19:25 Thats fucking impressive! So he's a writer, author, and architect.

Sometimes I don’t go to sleep until 3 AM

I've been utilizing Time Management skills for so long, I can't find ways to waste time

To the dudes who got the shiny dexes They earn my total respect and should earn the respect of every single Pokémon player, every single person who has touched a game, who has played Pokémon go, or is even played the trading card game everyone should respect those two men

I’d like to see someone watch all of Be Amazed. Every episode. Honestly, it wouldn’t really be a challenge, because these are so great to watch!!!

11:37 is just aperture science from portal

21:23 I had 10 hours long video on before, but only as a music for when I'm sleeping to hopefully get a better dream. And before anyone ask, why don't I just do it on a loop instead? I do that too. 10 hour long music video on a loop. But I never thought someone would actually sit there and watch the whole thing though, lol XD

16:00 dayumm whatd he do in his last life..

The Pokémon one was dedication. Not a waste of time. True fans will understand.
