Most people live their entire lives in vain. Few make progress on the path of life.

Anything done without love for God and our fellow man can be considered a waste of time, of which we all only have a very small amount left to us.

Sin, or doing evil against our fellow man (and God), is the biggest time waster. When we do acts of unkindness, it is like we are walking the wrong way, going toward death rather than life. We will eventually have to turn around and return. The more we sin, the farther away we get from the goal, causing more redemptive work for ourselves. Sin is a waste of life and time, for ourselves and for those we hurt.

Watching re-runs.

Tick-Tok should be somewhere up there too.

The single biggest waste of time, I'd say, is casual mobile games like Candy Crush. They just don't have a single redeeming feature.

Recreational sex. Is utterly pointless. Leads to overpopulation and unwanted children being brought into this world. Is directly responsible for the porn industry and other simp-supported vices in society, like OnlyFans. Usually ruins most relationships and breaks up families. Leads to low-IQ inbred rednecks arguing to ban abortion, resulting in even more of the previously mentioned problems, along with unwanted, unloved children who have an extremely low chance to not end up mentally fucked by adulthood. And so on.

Most of the world's problems come from stupid people fucking and we as a society, would probably have cities on Mars if humanity were mentally stronger than to have cheap flings, one night stands, and casual sex with every loser they come across. (Not even saying you need to save yourself until marriage, but at least be in a committed six-month or longer relationship if you're going to engage in the physical equivalent of fast food.)
