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

wait, do all of you wash your coffee cup regularly?
Daily dishwasher.
I wash mine every few months. In between washes I sometimes pick off the lip gunk. I know The navy takes it a little more seriously though.
My wife uses approximately eleventy mugs a day for who knows what purpose, and fills up the top dishwasher rack.
I like to drink coffee from a posh glass. I use a clean one each time. My wife dislikes the practice but I often tell her, if this is my most incongruent habit then things are pretty great honestly.
And then she’s like “if this was your most incongruent habit….”
We have a rack of coffee mugs and wash them in the dishwasher after each use like other dishes. Sometimes I handwash one to use again.
A rinse and maybe a wipe.
I've found that a quick spin on the lathe every six months or so is totally sufficient. It's usually time when I start to notice that the remaining volume is down to one or two espressos and the cup is able to provide a good cup of Joe despite only receiving hot water.
Yes I am kidding.
But yes, for science I've also cleaned a stainless steel cup that way.
i had a hearty chuckle
If it's not had a warm coffee in it for approximately 4h, it's dirty and I need a new cup.
If I happen to regularly have coffees in the same cup over 12h and I'm going for another, the mug is still fine
I don't make the rules
I am not gonna go overboard and call what I do a "wash". Soap usually doesn't enter the picture.
Yeah, I like a little creamer in mine, so that whole “it’ll be part of tomorrows coffee” thing means old dried dairy 🤢
Coffee cheese!
Creamer is actually non-dairy. Not that I’m advocating not cleaning it out of your cup, but an interesting tidbit nonetheless.
Once a week.
Nah, once every few days is sufficient.
