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.

You have my respect. I do the same, for the same reason. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Although, when I started, I drove a really popular car in a really popular color. There was often 3 of the exact model and color in any random parking lot.
So I realized - rather than having to remember which of the three was mine, and at worst walk to all three if I can't remember...
If I always park next to one of the other two, then I only have to remember that mine is one of the pair parked together.
Edit: Oh, and one time, the statistically usual other two matching cars were improbably parked with exactly one empty space between them. Naturally I parked there - to create three in a row! It was glorious!
Now I drive a much less common car (thankfully here's typically only one match per parking lot, and the trim difference is usually enough to tell which is mine), but I've maintained the habit, because I imagine I make people wonder if there's an enthusiast convention for my boring still kind of common car model. Probably doesn't work, but it makes me giggle.
