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.

I always have a blast chopping wood

Nothing like chopping wood to clear your head. Well, maybe shifting snow with a snow shovel...

Back in the day, when water wasn't metered, folk would sit on a lawn chair in their garage, and water the concrete driveways. Good times!

What good does that do? The water would refreeze instantly, and then all the driveway would be good for is running a Zamboni on it, as it would become slippery to death.

So was it to create a private skating rink? 🙂

tbh, as kids/teens, we never could figure out why folks did it, as they also usually had nice lawns, gardens, and veggies, etc. so they had ample time with the hose.
But as I water my gardens nowadays, I understand better the cathartic and therapeutic effects.
