A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.

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.

Ah, the elusive happens alot. A somewhat rare species.

In any case, there are definitely not too many holidays. In fact, I make it a principle to observe as many as possible. These are best announced to random coworkers as a way to strike up conversations when they seem excessively frustrated.

Why did clicking on those hype links feel like diving into a rabbit hole each time? Wild.

I'm pleased to have welcomed you into some deep wells of both internet history and holiday recognition. These sorts of esoteric knowledge are core to our shared persona.

That said, on the precipice of national computer security day, I feel compelled to remind everyone of the importance of knowing if a link is safe before clicking on it.

My company has decided there are too many holidays so they just give us hours we can use whenever. This would be cool except I've maxed out my vacation hours and I never use the holiday hours.

I hope your trip to pick up the prescription is excellent and you maybe see some cool birds or a pretty girl on the way.

Let's be inclusive. I hope he sees cool birds and an attractive person of his preferred gender on the way.

I don't miss those "flex holiday hours". Just give me a day off.

Ironically I also ordered a prescription refill today expecting it to maybe be ready next week, however I got a notification that it was ready today. I guess they made some poor pharmacist work today.
