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.

Stuff we should get? Or features on some items?

Things to you wish you knew or had done before the baby arrived?

Any and all advice is welcome :)

You won't smell of milk all the time, so it is easier for you to put the baby to sleep. Try memorizing like 10 songs that you like and will be able to sing over and over again. The baby will figure out, that it is time to sleep when you sing these.

Learn how to exercise/strach baby. You don't want to do this with a newborn. But there won't be a lot of time after birth to look this up. Be gentile. It's good for the baby and makes them fart and shit, easing stomach pain.

Look up baby first aid videos just in case. It is very different than adult first aid.

The first song that came to mind was from bigxtheplug, maybe try for 10 appropriate songs.

Nahhh... don't sweat it. My son's favorite is an old school '90 punk-rock song about "sometimes I miss marijuana". You can get away with it for quite a while. Than you replace the inappropriate parts with jellybeans and tulips or whatever.
