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.

These kind of stories are why I reheat leftovers to 165 degrees.
Not all food poisoning is live microorganisms. Sometimes they spew toxins into the food that can't be cooked out.
Oh fun
A good example would be mushrooms. Some are edible, some are not. Some very specific species can be boiled several times to make them edible. In that case, you’re basically washing the toxins and throwing them away with the water.
Bacteria aren’t that different in this regard. Some are edible. Some are pathogens. These are the ones that out there to get you.
Some can’t really be bothered with your body, but they do produce toxins. Even if you kill every bacterial cell and spore, you’re still left with the toxins which can make you sick.
Cough meds kill me every time. Something in there is eeeevil.
. . Go on
Yay!!!
