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.

Make sure you start that new bar before the old one gets too small, so you can incorporate that tiny bit into the new one and don't accidentally drop it down the drain

There was a soap specifically designed to merge with the old bar. New bars are molded in such a way to socket onto the old bar. I don't know what to search to find it again.

Wont the soaps just lose shape by the time they are to be put into a socket of the new bar?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

If you're anything like me, you wait until the old bar is less than 1/8" before introducing a new one and trying to fuse them together. This was designed to go together when the bar was like 1/2" thick so you never end up with a sliver of soap.

I'm half remembering this from years ago; it may have been a kickstarter or something. You'd buy bars of soap that had a concave top that the old bar would plug into. And I cannot for the life of me find this again.

I don't know if it's the brand that I've been using, but they haven't been merging properly, even when I compress them well.

This is the way.

Soap bar was looking skinny but I thought it would last awhile longer.

Went to take a shower this morning and found someone else had replaced it so, decision made I guess!

If you really want to stretch your soap bars out, you can get small bags that collect small bits of soap. Cheap hosiery also works great (if don't want to be seen buying it, order the cheapest set off Amazon). These are great for camping!

I’ve had some in the middle was almost like plastic.

[–] itsathursday 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah what’s up with that. It’s like trying to squeeze blood from a rock getting small bars to lather let alone fuse with any new bar.
