What is timesink?

An area of the internet where time stops, coincidentally overlapping with the site TV Tropes.

Similar to a wikicoma.

Somebody mentioned this thing called "phlebotinum;" next thing I knew, I was digging myself out of the TV Tropes timesink six hours later.

What does "timesink" mean?

Anything which takes up a lot of your time. I can be homework, a diy project, a tv show, or even a ridiculously long nap. It can be enjoyable, or even productive, but it requiers sinking a lot of time into it... therefore timesink.

I decided to start baking my own bread... didn't realise it was such a timesink.

Mad Men is great, but it is such a timesink.
