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.

During a boat trip, I stored my sunglasses at the bottom of a bag, without a case, along with everything else. A spot of glue ended up on one of the lenses. I tried every gentle product I could think of : dish soap, alcohol wipes, but nothing worked. It was impossible to remove.

Yesterday, I forgot this pair of sunglasses in my car under the sun. They became very hot, and I noticed that the glue had started to bead. When I ran my finger over it, the glue came off easily.

This is the level of dull I want from this community.

Hats off to those blokes who achieve something interesting, but THIS is content.

These are the kinds of problems I like the most: I once squirted some ketchup on my new shoes while we were out drinking. Ignored it, the next day when it was dry I could pull it off without even a discoloration. If I had used a towel to wipe it off, the shoes would have been ruined.

Less work, more results, that's what I like

Any problem properly ignored will go away

A lucky discovery! And it's always better to be lucky than good.

You can look up the expansion coefficient of materials to see what will work well with that, freezing can also work too.
