6. F***MyLife

You think your life sucks? Here are thousands of users sharing awful anecdotes and personal venting.

7. YouTube: "Related Videos"

SFW: It's not just that these amateur and professional videos are very engaging... it's that there are thousands of them linked together. If you start to browse the column of "related videos" to the right of each clip, you'll be hooked. For example: you start watching "car reviews Honda CRV", and pretty soon, you are browsing the car reviews of every one of its competitors. Even better: search for "talking dogs" or "Einstein the Genius Bird" and you'll be laughing for hours. Addictiveness factor: 5/5
