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.

Again, one of those things I should've bought 15 years ago. I just didn't know these even exist. This is the second most exited I've even been about a bucket only narrowly topped by the time I found two for free.
Life hack I figured out, impromptu bucket, for oil changes and draining fluids. Get a cardboard box that fits and line it with a garbage bag. Drain oil into bag. Tie up up bag and put box and bag into another bag for transport. Or you can cut the corner of full bag to drain into a jug with out making a mess or funnels. Hell got no funnel? Pour the clean oil into a clean bag and cut the corner of and fill engine.
That's what I do if I need to carry extra gasoline around too. Just get a few bags for thickness, pump it right in there, and tie the top.
Not gona lie brother, that's fucking wild. They don't start to dissolve on you?
Pretty sure it's a joke. Might be a reference to some video of Appalachia US during a hurricane season of a couple pumping into grocery bags. There was fear of a gas shortage
Holy shit, how have I not realized that could be done. Thanks man!
I had to do my trany solenoids like a few months back and got desperate cause I had no drain pan. Desperation is the mother of invention.
How often does this happen to you?
Well I owned as of 2 days ago, a ram with a cummins so... alot more than I'd ever liked. Hope the chevy will keep me from crawling on my back on the regular.
Yeah if you have to improvise, sounds like you know what you're doing. I have a Honda that has horrible oil filter placement. They make a funnel specifically for it to magnetically attach to the frame and redirect the flow once the filter is removed. Otherwise it dribbles all the way down the frame. The funnel was way overpriced but it was either that or waste a ton of trash bags.
Yeah that sounds like a pay once, cry once situation. More than once I've spent cussing under a truck or car with oil dribbling down my arm trying to get it to not make a mess. All in vain regardless. Here's a free one, dishwasher powdered detergent is the best for pulling oil stains out of your driveway.
I used liquid laundry detergent and a stiff brush with decent success. I'll try the powder if it happens again. Thanks!
