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.

Correct. Almost everyone in the comments here saying that the costco membership is worth it on a financial basis is deluding themselves. Unless you are buying for some kind of organization or you have a Mormon-sized family, CostCo is costing you money - that's how they make money.
The reality is, what CostCo actually sells is a Premium Experience. You walk in the door, and you don't have the experience of feeling bad about buying store-brand junk food that is far cheaper than name brand, because costco only stocks name brand (Or Kirkland, which is comparable). The shopping carts are enourmous, and you get a thrill when you purchase 20lbs of organic, grass-fed steak like it is a normal thing. A nice old lady offers you a free sample of something. You get to treat yourself to a slice of pizza or a hot dog on the way out. And most importantly.... everyone else also paid for a CostCo card for the right to be in the store. Ie, the biggest benefit to CostCo is that you don't have to be in the presence of poor people.
