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.

The last several months, I’ve started watching YouTube.

I tried looking at what I’ve been watching:

  • lawn mowing
  • drain clearing
  • dog grooming

I spend lots of time watching professionals at work.

People like

Cutting Edge Engineering (machinist)

Rain Man Rays Repairs (automotive mechanic)

Yourshire Car Restoration (automotive restoration)

And Bobs Decline (lineman)

Decided to learn guitar this year.

Spent the first week of the year watching nothing but Luthiers.

Guess I'm really starting from scratch then.

I got a whole list of other automotive channels if you need.

The other two that come to mind are

South Main Auto

And

I Do Cars

But I'm happy to hear of others.

There's also a bunch of hobby machinists I watch, though I've not found many that show day-to-day professional work like CEE does. Maybe Abom79, but he focuses on smaller home projects, not so much industry type stuff.
