Dull Men's Club

A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.

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 or advice forum.
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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

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. Not 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.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

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.

Nothing to do with how many cows are involved, but...

If you mix milk that's two weeks from going bad, with milk that's two days from going bad, you now have twice as much milk that will go bad in two days.

I don't know why I held out for you to claim something like, 'If you mix the milk that's two days away from expiring, with milk that will expire in two weeks, you can essentially extend the two days away milk's shelf life.'

I swear I'm not that gullible.

That's just silly.

Everyone knows that stamping a new date on the jug is the only way to extend its shelf life.

We got a stew going

I was thinking more like having a glass of milk that's like 1/3 full and drinking that and then putting more milk in the glass from the other jug. That's what I used to do under the stupid assumption that if you mixed the milk from two different cows, something bad would happen.

Like mixing two different blood types.

That's why they're labeled with whole, 2%, 1%, and skim. Just keep same with same and the space-time continuum is fine.

I'm curious what you thought might happen?

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 2 days ago

I honestly didn't know. Just something not good. Like Rhaedas said jokingly, you don't mix two blood types.
