philosurfing 

v. A strange phenomena that usually occurs late at night when you are surfing the web. You are very tired or in an altered state of mind and feeling very zen, meditative. As you surf, you find yourself pondering deep questions about yourself, life, other people, and the world around you; you search for answers; use the internet to search your soul
Last night I was really, really tired and on the internet... I had this wicked philosurfing session.

I found out why I am depressed... then stared at hundreds of random pictures and pondered who created them; what they mean in a different person's eyes. What do they mean to me? I took 23 quizzes that made me realize things about me that I never even realized. I laughed; I cried. Then, when I eventually slumped off to bed, heart racing fast and unable to sleep, I realized I had just gone to another realm of reality. No drugs attached.

I searched the web as I searched myself, man

philosotainment 

Word created and defined by Scott Adams

"Philosophy for the sole purpose of entertainment, not enlightenment"

"It doesn’t try to be right, or further our understanding of reality. In fact, the best arguments of philosotainment are clearly wrong, but no two people can agree why. Sorting it out is the point. The fun of philosotainment is in finding out something about your own thinking compared to your fellow humans. The particular topic of discussion is nothing but the vehicle for that journey."
"My first commercial philosotainment was my book, God’s Debris. The readers that understood what it was usually enjoyed it. The philosophy majors who wondered why it didn’t further their understandings of the universe were literally furious."

philososlut

philosotainment 

The art form first used to great effect by Socrates and leading to his death, this invention of Scott Adams (author of "Dilbert" comics) is the art of
"asking humorously provocative questions that are designed to make your dogmatic friends (turn into a) showcase of dancing monkeys...It’s evil, but it’s fun. I call it philosotainment."
"I told a dirty joke at the party, and Alice got all sanctimonious on me. So I asked her 'if she's such a good Christian, shouldn't she forgive me?'"

Oh, so -that's- what made her trash the living room!"

Yep: that was some good philosotainment, there."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
