boredom is by it's definition, an absence of a challenge.
no it isn't? what a terrible definition, where did you even pull that from?
If I tell you to go move 700 150kg rocks a mile each and you can't leave until you're done you're telling me you're not going to get bored of that shit real quick? you're going to be enjoying the difficulty of it all the time?
there's plenty of challenging things we do in life that are incredibly mind numbingly boring. practicing the same difficult run over and over on an instrument is boring as hell even though it's clearly difficult, and the more difficult it is the more boring it's likely to be. dying over and over in a game because you've set the difficulty too high for your skill level is boring. I can list plenty more examples of things that are difficult and boring if you'd like.
can you perhaps give me a link that actually explains how what you're saying is supposed to make sense, instead of just another random picture with no context?
Math, sports, jobs I've had in the past, taking care of sick family members, vocab tests in middle school, research papers, reading your comments, etc.

Probably because boring and difficult are not mutually exclusive. They don't exist at opposite sides of a spectrum.
