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.

I used to have one of these where the lid could latch on. So you could just tip the whole thing upside down, didn't even need to worry about the lid coming off. 10/10 peak convenience

This doesn't belong here. Too powerful.

Italian here...with long pasta you just pull it out of the water, with small pasta, a strainer spoon. Prevents drying out the pasta with straining.

This is like how the Costco cling wrap has a nifty little zipper to cut the wrap with, and it’s clearly the better solution, but the rest of the market hasn’t adapted.

Why did you ever get rid of it?

[–] a_gee_dizzle@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

I can't remember why exactly. I think I dropped it and it got all banged up and didn't work as well, so the misses got rid of it when we moved
