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.

Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.
Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.
I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.
Best it has looked in 5 years.
P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.
I'm working in a workshop where grease gets everywhere. So we have this big vat of industrial soap. I swear to god u never realised how weak regular household soap was till using that shit.
IDK, we used Dawn on the rigs when we got covered in oil. There's some shit called rig wash, was never as good at cutting that stuff. I've kept using it in the shop and it outperforms the garbage I've bought from Permatex or that red Fred's stuff.
Except the old Permatex, I had a couple tubs of the original stuff I got at an auction, and it was seriously excellent. Always kinda wondered what cancerous shit was in it that they stopped making it that way. Only thing that worked that good is gasoline.
The stuff we have comes as a dry powder and u just put water in it making a thick slurry that cuts right through all the shit. Its also got like sand abrasive shit in it.
