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.

We had rehabbed a century old house from the Addams family house to a museum piece, only to have a mouse breakout happen in our yard. Then they started to get in the house, and that was a serious problem. I tried traps, but I could literally set 10 around the back steps, and in an hour they would all be sprung, with about half of them with a dead mouse.
He were starting worry about it, when a stray cat showed up at our house, and decided it was a nice place, with nice people, and the added bonus of a yard full of mice to kill. Fun!
He was such a sweet guy, but he had the heart of serial killer. Within a couple of weeks, we weren't seeing any mice, and I couldn't walk across the backyeard without finding a headless mouse corpse. After he had things under control, he decided the place was good enough now, and invited his beautiful Siamese girlfriend and their three kittens to live with us. No humans were consulted in any of these decisions.
So if you've got mice around your house, a cat is your very best extermination strategy.
