An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

But let's just say I already had been through college and established a career for myself.

At least no one had to tell me and I figured it out for myself, I guess.

In the same way it's weird how some stores and restaurants sell glued-together steak.

It doesn't really matter, it's all the same meat from one herd being treated the same way and it's all going to the same place, but it's still weird. At least to me.

Have you never had minced meat?

I can't help what feels weird to me, dude.

It’s okay, as a kid I would roll the wheels backwards on toy cars to counter out any forwards rotation I put on the wheels.

I get you. When eating (Greek) yoghurt as a kid, any separated liquid had to be mixed back in until it was perfectly homogeneous. When I saw a friend pour out the liquid instead, years later, it was gut-wrenching.

Ah, similarly when I was a kid, I didn't understand that you were supposed to mix together the kind of yogurt with fruit on the bottom. I thought that was sort of a little post-yogurt treat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I still haven't made up my mind about that one.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 2 months ago

I kind of haven't either, but when I got older, I just made my own mixed yogurt with jam and I liked it more anyway.
