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.

I walked my dog this morning (self.dull_mens_club)

This morning it was my turn to walk the dog. I took her to a nearby park with two hiking loops, which are about a mile total. Lots of folks bring their dogs here and although there are signs to keep your dog on leash, almost no one follows them. So, I let mine off whenever I go there. She enjoys being under the trees and sniffing. But, there are many squirrels and if she catches one moving, she’ll often take off running after it. Depending on how driven she is by the squirrels I might have to put her on leash so that she calms down and walks next to me. Today, there were a few other folks with their dogs, but none that my dog found appealing. Occasionally, when she meets a dog she likes, she’ll befriend them by doing zoomies in the field and getting the other dog to chase her. We finished our walk and went home.
