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.

You could try using a kitchen scale, but just one limb at a time, and one ass cheek at a time

The Dahmer Method

Dewey in Malcolm in the Middle putting his head on the scale, lifting his head up to see the number, and saying "Zero!"

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Finally a reasonable solution!

Or set up a seesaw and use the kitchen scale to weigh yourself in one go. With a bit of clever physics, you can prevent the scale from maxing out, and with a little bit of mathematics, you can convert the reading to your actual weight.

Weigh your house then step outside and weigh it again. Calculate the difference.

In other words, this image is not to scale

Use a banana.

If this is a cry for help please don't respond.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 6 days ago

Clearly you don't weigh enough to fall through the floor. Congrats!

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I do. You can borrow it if you need.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

That's very generous my friend, but right now there are whispers of fulcrums.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

So much room for activities!

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Then how do you find out how much your last poo weighed?

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

compare it to a glass of milk

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

You don’t look a byte above 5MB

Unless my wife got rid of them, I think we have ... 4? If we still have extra, you're welcome to a couple!

[We had one. My wife's mom died and her scale looked more sophisticated, so we took it to verify it works and compare it to ours. It ended up in a box in the basement. Before we had a chance to go through those boxes, my brother died. For some reason, he had two scales and we brought them home to compare with the other two. But I haven't done it yet (this was miss my wife's project) and I some know if she has either. But if we have spares, you'd be welcome to them!]

I’ll support a fellow dull man and send you one.

Use a thermometer instead.
