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.

non-native flatmate saw that the toilet flush didnt stop and looking at the water meter was just putting 50 liters of water literally down the drain per hour. asked me to tell our ladnlord to fix it, they couldnt bcs language barrier.

so instead of texting the landlord and waiting for 2 weeks, letting 1000 liters of water go to waste each day, i pulled of the cover and found basically one big block of chalk blocking the bobby but that closes the pipe when the tank is full.

20 minutes later and a loooot of vinegar essence izs as good as new and also the tank doesnt take like 10 minutes to fill up anymore.

I poured water down the drain.

I sure hope you are licensed to do that buddy! How did you know what water to use? How much of it?

(Nah, good job, it's a classic example!)
