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.

“Why do you have a face. You can’t be coming at me with a face”

“ old man grunt my body is full of bones… you can’t have any. I counted them and it’s like 200.*

“Why are you a dog”

“Why are you a little dog when you could’ve been a big dog”

And finally if no one upvotes this post I’m going to tell her shes a sausage. She became a sausage after my dad died because nobody walked her. She knows she a sausage she just doesn’t like being reminded.

But I’ll tell her she’s a sausage if I don’t get enough upvotes!

Bonus thing I say to my dog and it’s really out there:

Now, the behavior of Andrew Beckett's employers may seem reasonable to you... but when they fired Andrew Beckett because he had AIDS, they broke the law.

Yeah. I’m kinda weird with my dog lol

When we first got our dog, it was such a novelty having a dog around the house, and my wife would constantly say to him, "Reggie, you are a small dog, and you live in our house." She would say it like 50 times a day. I still say it sometimes 4 years later because I think it's hilarious. He still thinks it is high praise.

To be fair it is kinda high praise. Imagine your wife saying

You a real man and you live in our home.

If she said that randomly it would feel pretty good I’d think.
