Dull Men's Club
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
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.

Is it serrated? How to sharpen serrated knife?
With a round rod sharpener. It's rather tedious, but one of the saving graces with serrated knives — if you care to think of it that way, anyway — is that you don't objectively have to get the edge that refined for one to work. Insofar as they ever work, that is.
Serrated knives are for cutting bread. Using one for any other purpose is varying degrees of doing it wrong, depending on what you're doing. Otherwise, the tool you're actually looking for is probably some manner of saw.
Theyre really nor great for cutting bread, either. When im in a kitchen and going to be slicing a lot of bread, I use an extra long, (14-16") well sharpened chef knife. Most will cut through a loaf in one stroke once you get the pressure down.
Only thing I will use a serated for in a professional setting is lettuce(you actually want the tearing- it means it breaks in between cell walls, and bruises and wilts slower)
And some rare applications cutting meat while its still partially frozen, or shredding it off around the bone.
No. Those are almost impossible to properly sharpen which is why I'd never buy one.
Serrated knives are excellent for cutting items that don't dull them and are not easily cut by a sharp smooth blade. Bread, soft vegetables, and that kind of thing hasn't dulled one serrated knife I've had for a couple decades.
