Dull Men's Club
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.

Back during the Afghanistan war, Stealth Bombers coming back from missions would use Fenway Park in Boston as a waypoint.
One day a buddy and I were sitting in his car at a traffic light when we looked up and saw one fly over.
One of the cooler things I've ever seen.
It's pretty crazy that they fly all that distance to drop a couple bombs and then fly all the way back.
I knew some guys in the air national guard; for their drill weekends they would have the planes prepped Friday, fly all day Saturday, refilling in the air, drop bombs, turn around, and fly back Sunday, in time to go to their normal jobs on Monday. That was their drill weekend. In the air for almost the entire time.
Meanwhile I'm in the army national guard and we are just looking over some humvees and sitting in some shitty admin briefings all day.
