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.

The shop also had regular sprink bottles with the same cologne, but this bottle is shaped like a fuel can, so it looked manlier to me. It contains 80% alcohol, so it's also a disinfectant and an after-shave.

Yeah, that is mostly used for disinfection, the smell doesn't stay long.

Source: I am turkish and that is what we use it for.

translation starting from top:

  • Rick buddy... Dont mean to intrude in your business but the Turk in this scenario is kind of absurd. Maybe you should change it for the sake of the story's integrity.

  • No I did it on purpose. They get excited and pay more attention to the film. Lets keep it as it is.

  • Skati (Scotty pronounced using Turkish phonetics) bought the goods from a Turk in Istanbul boss.

  • Oh Shit! He said Istanbul ehe ehe.

AUUUUU TRTRTRRTRTR 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

You can also probably put it in your moped.

I would welcome a two stroke road block that at least leaves a trail of lemon scent.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I just use scented body soap. I smell nice to my partner, who gets very close, but not to the person sitting next to me. After a 1+h bus ride sitting next to a guy with way too much cologne, it's very important to me that I not offend the olfactory systems of others.

It's not so much the smell or the metallic taste, it's the burning sensation in the eyes that makes me wish some people would at least use a smaller bucket of the stuff in the morning.

I don't, wouldn't it be manlier if it was shaped like a fist or repressed mental health issues?

[–] pelya 9 points 2 days ago

That's way too manly, we're trying to be dull here.

[–] barcaxavi 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Anyone else thinking about this? (Midly NSFW)

[–] BreadOven 1 points 2 days ago

I was not. But I sure am now hahaha. Nice bicep haha.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just as long as you don't put it all on at once.

[–] fartsparkles 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unless you’ve got a hot date

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

As long as they're not hot enough to have an open flame or produce sparks.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've had the same bottle of cologne that my grandma gave me when I was 16....I'm in my 30s

[–] bhamlin 5 points 3 days ago

Heirloom cologne. Nice.

[–] TheGiantKorean 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I thought it was lemonade.

[–] pelya 2 points 2 days ago

I guess you could drink it, if you're adventurous enough.
