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 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.

One that doesn't wear so quickly. I like the ones with the suction cup and scraper. However, I have yet to find one that lasts longer than a couple of months. Any suggestions?

I purchased one of these a while ago, and I am loving it so far. It's made out of coconut coir, the shape is fantastic for most jobs, the bristles are super scrubby without scratching, and it's easy to clean. Although I am not sure how long it will last as I have only had it a few months myself. But I have never loved a dish brush as much as this one, and it's a bit more of a greener option as a bonus

Yeah I use a wooden/fiber brush:

They last like 4 or 6 months, and cost less than €1, so I consider this a solved problem.

Ah, I think a couple months is fine. I just get some green scrubbers like Scotch pads for tough scrubbing and otherwise use a wash rag.

A chainmail scrubber is great for cast iron, steel, and ceramic. I’ve had the same one for eight years. I still use sponges too and go through one a month.
