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'm pleased that I created this space that other people enjoy and brings people together through shared experiences. I wish I had thought of the idea originally, as a true dull man I am quite unoriginal. I find myself checking for new posts frequently and I'm amazed at how things have turned out in such a short time. I hope to see it grow and see just how dull things can get.
Cold breakfast was a small price to pay for being able to drink my coffee and read the news, knowing the kitchen is done, and I don't need to get up again....
I can feel the truth of this statement in my bones. This is one of the deeper truths.
I've got a tyke under the age of two. I always let my wife eat first while I feed our kid.
If my daughter is being tough, by the time it gets frustrating my wife is done eating and I can tap her in. If my daughter is being easy, I can get her taken care of and whatever mess she makes eating cleaned up first, so I can eat in relative peace.
Unless the charming little gremlin decides she needs some of my food. "Daddy daddy, bite please! Yum! Yum! Please!"
Regardless, I can avoid feeling rushed, or like I'm putting off something.
I work from home. I love to buy the day's bread, making coffee for me and my wife, help my children eat, prepare their school bags and take them to school. After that, when I come.back to my house, my wife left for her work, and I drink my “true” coffee, that is my second one, while eating my breakfast, alone and calmly. Only then I'm ready for my work day.
Yep, that's exactly it. Quietly celebrating the mundane together.
Amelie is a masterpiece in exactly that subject, and your post is what it took for me to make the connection.
Mmmm. Bacon.
This morning, I baked a tin of pre-made vegan (dairy & egg allergy in the family) cinnamon rolls. Bacon would have been nice on the side. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow morning.
this morning I had 6 pickles and my dad got really confused about it for some reason
This should've been its own post
I had a bagel this morning and brought a big thermos of coffee to work. I vacuumed when I got home because a contractor's coming by tomorrow to do an estimate.
