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.

Are you the kind of person who would usually ask a worker / other shoppers for help finding something? My wife hates it when I do that
"excuse me, which one of these two computers are better?"
"well you see, it all started with the performance race of the 90s and millennium with the release of the pentium processor, and the competing k5. Back then you could use a potato chip and still get comperable performance... [7 hours later] I hope that answers your question"
I’ve abandoned shame long ago I searching for a specific item my wife asked me to get.
I’ll even ask customer service to direct me to other warehouses that do have the item,
I’m transitioning to old man that talks to store workers to have a conversation with humans.
Unrelated, but one time I asked for eggs, when it was the egg apocalypse. There were none on the shelf. The customer service desk stopped me on my way out, after regular check out, and sold me a carton.
They really try and help.
