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.

I work on my feet almost every day, so I wear through socks like nobody's business. Jogging is one of my main forms of physical activity, and that certainly does not help my socks last either. Around the house I'm always wearing socks. I need a new pack of socks nearly once a month just to keep up. Prices are going up too, and I don't want to buy socks like this anymore.

I received some wool socks for my birthday that lasted notably longer than cotton socks, but I tore through these too in a few weeks. Finally, after wearing through another pack of ten, I decided to try some purpose-built work crew socks.

Here you might expect me to write about how much better these socks are, but I don't know yet. I hope they will last longer.

I am currently pondering setting up an alarm notification in my calendar app for a couple of months from now.
