An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

Just bought a new phone after almost eight years with my current phone. The battery is knackered and the charging port died for the third time. This phone has been great, thank you buddy.

My new phone came in a 31*31*16cm package. It's over 29,000x the volume of the phone it's transporting. Seems incredibly wasteful to me. But despite all of that empty space, there's no charger! Wtf?! Is this a thing now, that you don't get a charger? Or am I just being ripped off?

I went straight to Motorola because my current phone from them is so good, now I'm feeling a bit scammed honestly

EDIT: It seems like I'm getting old, apparently you just don't get a charger any more. It's pretty standard. Helps cut down on packaging apparently(!) I guess I approve in principle, but when you ship it in a massive box anyway and I'll need to buy a new charger to get the best out of the new phone anyway, it just means I have to spend even more than I budgeted for and have a second package delivered to me at even more cost and environmental impact. Yay I guess.

Motorola G57 Power. Upgrading from a G7 Power, so it's literally 50 better! Although so far I like my old phone a lot more 😢 there's just a lot of bullshit to set up and turn off. No phone, I do not need AI this or suggested that or steal-my-data other. I don't want you to randomly turn on WiFi or connect to other people's devices. And also the swipe controls are different which is less problematic but more annoying
