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.

Also, this cat is absolutely destroying my thigh by making biscuits on it. But I'm really strong and loving, and I never have insane reactions to mild situations regardless of the state of the chemical balance in my brain or any external factors, nor do I lie or speak facetiously and with hyperbole.

For I am a dull man.

Sorry, sometimes I start writing and then I black out for a while and just say stuff.

This picture doesn't convey that that at all. Lol

Sorry to hear about your arm, fam, hope it gets better.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Thanks Sergio

Biscuits with blades are always a mixed bag. Love you cat, but oww!

On a side note, I believe I have that same frog microfiber, I made mine into a gigantic blanket for my bed years ago.

Haha, that's cool. This one was my son's, and then my mom turned it into a throw pillow

Why are you wearing your dirty shoes inside?

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Sorry, I just saw your comment.

It's because my life and house are both treated as a workshop, with projects occurring everywhere all the time, and I'm just a fuckin' antisocial little troll thing that grew up in the woods, near a pig farm, playing in an open sewer like a wormy little rat, and now I wear shoes inside, but not all the time - just if I was already wearing them and I'm in my own home and I don't feel like taking them off. And when sounding like "ay," as in "neighbor" and "weigh," and on Christmas and weekends that take place in May.

I also wear them when cleaning the litter boxes, but those stay outside anyway unless there's bad weather. And after "C."

I've got the bookshelf version of that console cabinet. Sauder brand, right. I recognize the bevel and construction. Mine also bows on every shelf and on top. Frickin MDF wood...I feel your pain. Sweet table though-- could probably be stripped and varnished dark into something fancy. Check out those curved table legs and carved feet.

I'll be honest with ya, I bought the console at Walmart about a decade ago and don't remember anything about the branding, but you're correct on every other aspect, lmao. I've put it through some shit, though.

And thanks on the table :-). I really should do something with it, as it will be passed down to my son. Along with the TV stand 🤣
