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.

For those of you for whom this is not dull enough, fear not, for this weekend I shall be swapping out an ignition coil in my vehicle and I’ll be sure to share every unthrilling moment.
Ok.
Ok.
That helps.
If you can follow that up with maybe moving a couple of boxes of nails or something, to a different shelf, I think I can make it through this.
Jokes on you. Ignition coils are my jam... my sexy, sexy jam!!!
Terrible post, this is the least dull part of my day so far!
-theyre so smol aaaaaaaahhh-
Omg they're so ugly I love them. Have you named them?
I nominate Scout, Jem, Atticus, Mayella, and Ham
In college my dreams group had Halloween costume contests. One year it was "who can be the best Ham". I lost to my dear friend Madam Pitt the Elder.
I had 5 finch babies on my porch last month. I set up a camera to watch them. They were a few days away from their maiden flights when a cat jumped up and got to them all at like midnight one night. The video is kinda traumatizing. My wife refuses to watch it, for good reason...
"Finch Babies" being the title of of an ill-conceived, never-aired 1980s children's animated TV show based on To Kill A Mockingbird.
