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.

I'm getting kind of sick of my dental implant button (sh.itjust.works)

I had dental surgery like, a month ago. Posted about it here. Instead of a front tooth I've got a metal (titanium I think?) cap sticking out of my gums. The tip of my tongue constantly touches it and I'm really over it.

The weirdest part is every time I brush my teeth it feels cold for like an hour. The button has a female drive to it (I think it's Torx?) and it holds onto toothpaste.

At least I'm off my no biting things diet. There's stuff that's still impractical to eat but I can have sandwiches now.

Could you use dental wax/silicone to cover the post for now? This is commonly used to temporarily cover for orthodontic brackets in your mouth to prevent gum/check irritation. The stuff is cheap too. $2 will get you a pack in the dental section of your local pharmacy/grocery store.

I suppose I could wear my prosthetic. They actually gave me two, one is kind of mouthguard style and the other is basically a denture, and I much prefer the former.
