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.

Seriously no wonder people abuse this stuff. I have gotten so much absolutely back breaking work done today and I'm not even slightly tired. I cleared the rest of the BS blizzard snow from the rest of my driveway (had only shoveled the sidewalk before), plus the curb all the way to the nearest storm drain. I rearanged my living room, reorganized my whole service van, I finally swapped in that new clothes dryer that has been sitting in the garage for a month, and all that is after a full day of physical work. I would have normally been tired 3 times over by now. I'm am resting right now not because I feel like I need to but because I don't want to accidentally actually cripple myself by acting like I'm superman. If only this stuff didn't completely destroy your body in the long term.

Exactly right. I didn't ask them for advice. They just assumed I was some schlub needing steroids because I can't take care of my body. I'm taking it for inner ear inflamation of all things. I work a very physical job and I don't know the last time I've had an issue with even moderate physical pain other than from blatant injuries from things like accidentally smashing my finger. I spend most of my day climbing ladders with 80lbs of gear strapped to my back without issue. A bit insulting to have some rando come in and assume I'm not taking care of myself because I'm on a certain medication.
