Description
Nothing Hours is a collective internet experiment in doing absolutely nothing. Stay on the page and your time is added to a shared global counter. The goal is to collectively do nothing for 1,000,000 hours. There are no accounts, feeds, likes, rankings or achievements. Just a personal timer, a global timer, and other people doing nothing with you. No ads. No feed. No purpose.
