While the confinement lasts to avoid contagions by COVID-19, it is better to maintain the Internet. And it is that it gives us life every time a viral appears, a challenge or something new with which to entertain ourselves and spread our mind. Of course, it is not just a matter of being locked up. These contents that travel through WhatsApp, Twitter, forums and other social networks have been accompanying us for a long time. Or is it that you no longer remember the cinnamon challenge?
We are going to collect a few so that you can spend time in a more pleasant way. Some you will know, but others you surely do not remember. You can always share it with your contacts to see their reactions and create debate and controversy . Or do you have something better to do?
Yanny or Laurel
He was the last to arrive, and it seemed like a breath of fresh air in this confinement. Despite being a challenge that became famous already in 2018. The thing is, do you listen to Yanny or Laurel in this audio? The most interesting thing is to send it to all your friends and family and ask them what they are listening to. And surprise you by the answer, of course. There will be something for everyone, even if you hear something very clearly .
I urgently need to know what you guys are hearing: Yanny or Laurel? #YoEscuchoYanny pic.twitter.com/XKswjCRcfw

We already know what the correct answer is, but the most interesting thing is to know why the perception of each person with this audio is different. In any case it is content to have a good time .
What is the color of the dress?
It is the other great challenge of the Internet that divided the entire world. It is probably the best known challenge on this list, but for that reason it could not be missed. What color is the dress? Again, the perception of each person will make a difference, with ideas that will seem like a real madness to some. Is it not clearly seen that it is blue? Or is it white?
From this day on, the world will be divided into two people. Blue & black, or white & gold. //t.co/xJeR7GldwP pic.twitter.com/i6BwVzPzSZ

There is no correct answer here (well yes, the dress is known to have been blue and black originally). And it is that the quality of the image, the white balance and especially the perception of each user is what dictates what their eyes see. And that's not why it's bad .
The multicolored slipper
The story surrounding the photography of this shoe is not very different . Again the light situation, the camera and the representation of the colors played a trick on the average Internet user in 2017. It looks like a photo of an ordinary white sneaker with phosphorescent green details and laces, but medium to dark. Or is it actually pink and white?

We return to the same: the perception of each person is different. Not only because their visual and color comprehension capabilities are somewhat different, but because of how the photo looks on different screens of different devices. But again, the fun is in the reactions , not the content.
Ice Bucket Challenge
We radically change the third in this of the Internet challenges that go viral on WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook and other social networks. The Ice Bucket Challenge was a before and after in achieving world trends focused on solidarity and awareness of realities. This challenge, which consisted of throwing an ice cube on top, donating money to the cause, and sharing it, focused on making people around the world feel the disease of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in their own flesh.
Of course, soon videos began to appear that tried to complete this challenge and that ended in an accident . Very funny but very foreboding: don't do everything you see on the Internet.
The cinnamon challenge
First of all: don't try it at home . It is another of those viral challenges, rather arisen from YouTube, a few years ago. It is as simple as it is effective: eat cinnamon. And yes, you will think that it can be easy to carry out, but the results are not positive at all. And you can get a good scare and drown for being funny.
In this case the challenge was purely leisure. To entertain and amuse the reactions of those who dared to put a whole spoonful of cinnamon in their mouths and automatically spit it out the second later . Neither social cause nor anything. But hey, they were other times ...
Riddles with emoticons
It is another type of challenge to be very entertained in quarantine. It just takes some expertise, a bit of inspiration, and a good understanding of the social tools you have at your disposal. We talk about the games, riddles and challenges that can be shared by WhatsApp, Twitter or even Instagram .
They are less famous than these viral cases, but we already assure you that they cause a sensation among followers, family and friends. Especially when you are bored. It consists of posing challenges and minigames for all audiences. They can range from guessing the title of a movie represented by Emoji emoticons, to posing riddles on Instagram Stories and offering multi-choice for participation. It is not the most current in the world, but it is still very fashionable due to this situation. It is easy to carry out and you always have a good time. Here are some suggestions.
Instagram Stories Templates
More recent and viral are also the activities that are being seen these days in the most visual social networks. We are talking about Instagram and TikTok, where there are all kinds of resources to hang out and share moments with others.
On Instagram, for example, there are templates. Some challenges in which to fill in certain information about your life, your tastes or what you are doing these days of confinement. The interesting thing is to nominate other people so that the chain continues.
Impossible choreographies from TikTok
For its part, TikTok is posing all kinds of challenges thanks to fun filters. The #dedoschallenge was one of the most viral a few weeks ago. But there are many others. From videos where you can put on a t-shirt while doing a handstand, to other funnier things like dances and choreography.

Draw on Instagram
Perhaps the Pictionary is not your thing, but if you nominated this challenge can only continue. It consists of repeating a drawing in which you have been mentioned, but doing it your way. Add creativity to draw attention to those of your friends and do not forget to mention more friends to continue this whole story, of course.
Riddles with no solution
Surely you have fallen into more than one in your WhatsApp status or Instagram Stories. It consists of a very simple riddle. So much so that you smell that the trap is anywhere. Something like "What is the first thing I do when I get up in the morning?" . Any answer can be false, so prepare your excuse for that person to publish the same content by mentioning you on their social networks. It is a way to promote yourself on other accounts and play with your followers.
I said, a non-stop of Internet content at our fingertips . Even when we are locked up.
