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.

Get a “Nose Frieda.” Or something like that; my kids are in upper elementary, I don’t remember what it’s called. It looks horrific but when your kid is congested, it is a lifesaver. I think the same company makes something for gas, and I used a crazy amount of them on my second kid before figuring out that she was allergic to dairy at about 3 months.
Baby Frida is the brand the product is just called a nose sucker. We also had several boxes of "Windy"s (the fart straw). Putting those up my son's butt was an ordeal but nothing helped him sleep like a good fart
Ah yes thanks! For sure, using these products is not “fun” but honestly, parenting strengthens your stomach and your resolve in lots of ways!
