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.

Why don't we have pop-peas?

This looks like way too much fun, we're dull here

In theory it should be not too unhealthful, right? Esp if you use a hot-air popper.

They're a great source of fibre too

You can also make kettle corn on the stove just as easily by adding sugar when the kernels start popping consistently

This sounds like a great idea!

https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/perfect_popcorn/ 4-8 kernels in a pot on med-high - wait for them to pop, then remove from heat put a layer of kernels in and count to 30. Put the pot back on the heat and wait for them all to pop. Salt and butter to taste. Perfect popcorn every time, way better than microwave bullshit and you can make it as (un) healthy as you like by adding butter/salt to taste.
