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.

For a while, I was into Nerfsmithing. I built a lot of different things, but my masterpiece was a heavily modified Stampede with a Strongarm attached to it as a front grip. The Stampede would fire 8 darts per second out to around 100 feet. It was fed from a 35-round drum.
It was also designed to look as silly as possible. It had an attached laser, red dot sight, and tactical light; a folding bipod and an adjustable rifle strap; and side holders for extra darts. All of the accessories were repainted in bright nerf colors to match the original scheme.
My proudest moment was when someone decided to hold an office-wide nerf war. (There were around 300 people in our office.) They sent out an email that ended with "Everyone is invited to participate except Curious Canid ." There is no higher accolade.
You sir are mad!
It's kind of you to say so.
