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.

This is this year's haul. It's not much, but I managed to pick them just when they were ripe enough to not turn into useless mush.
The bushes are completely empty. Nothing left for the birds this year 🙂
Thank you for helping us understand the currant state.
Hey look: we let the ducks pick all our blueberries - mostly because we can get blueberries at the supermarket and they can't, and we like the duckies. But the currants are for us!
What are you making with them? Jam? Jelly? Some kind of cordial?
We eat the gooseberries as-is: the bowl is near the kitchen, and whenever we go there, we pick a couple. It'll be gone soon.
As for the currants, my wife doesn't like the bitterness. So I freeze them, then every once in a while, I break off a slab, put it in a bowl, let it thaw some, then add some yogurt and sugar to make a bowl of "ice cream": it tastes good and it's low-effort enough for lazy me 🙂
Sounds delicious.
