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.

Nice .... I should really buy some new ones myself.
I bought one about ten years ago. It broke in half, so I rounded the corners, sanded it and made two smaller boards that are easier to use and store.
I’ve been using the same single cutting board for a while now, and realized that I could you know, buy more at any time. I’m not sure why I do that with things.
Consumerism .... we're all conditioned to think that we need to keep buying things in order to function. Our ancient ancestors used to build and make things to last a lifetime. I'm Indigenous Canadian and I grew up poor and I remember seeing old people in my family collect and save plastic garbage bags and plastic bags because they were so amazed that this useful material was available everywhere. I grew up being taught that you have make everything last as long as possible and save everything you come across because you never know when you will live without these things.
