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 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.

Make sure you start that new bar before the old one gets too small, so you can incorporate that tiny bit into the new one and don't accidentally drop it down the drain

There was a soap specifically designed to merge with the old bar. New bars are molded in such a way to socket onto the old bar. I don't know what to search to find it again.

Wont the soaps just lose shape by the time they are to be put into a socket of the new bar?

If you're anything like me, you wait until the old bar is less than 1/8" before introducing a new one and trying to fuse them together. This was designed to go together when the bar was like 1/2" thick so you never end up with a sliver of soap.

I'm half remembering this from years ago; it may have been a kickstarter or something. You'd buy bars of soap that had a concave top that the old bar would plug into. And I cannot for the life of me find this again.

I don't know if it's the brand that I've been using, but they haven't been merging properly, even when I compress them well.

This is the way.
