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.

Oh that's good to know about door ice makers. This ice maker is actually a sealed compartment in the refrigerator, but it is supposed to dispense from the outside of the door. It has never worked since we got it. I tried to defrost it so I can open it and inspect it, but it beeped every 10 seconds for 15 minutes, and we eventually decided it was too aggravating to continue. Whoever made the decision to make it constantly beep while defrosting is an asshole.
That’s part of what they were getting at. Anytime you want to freeze something, it should be in the freezer. Attempting to over engineer a hack to put it in a warmer space sets it up to fail.
I'll certainly remember that when it's time to replace this one. Thank you. Hopefully that time is far away, because I don't want to spend thousands of dollars when I don't have to. I refuse to replace it with something equally shitty, so its replacement will be expensive.
