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.

We need to make a throne ... like the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones ... but made out of USB cables
Why you lying?
No one has ever lied on the internet eyes rolling at the speed of light
Impressive!
My eyes can only see at the speed of light sadly.
It was ‘this 🐟 big!’
That's nothing, I tried to plug a USB-C in the other day and failed.
Whoa there. That's too much excitement for this comm.
What? Impossible!
DULL mens club..
Get that exciting once-in-a-lifetime shit out of this sub
BURN THE WITCH!!!
So when we weigh them, do we still put a goose on the other scale? A pile of USB-As in the shape of a goose? A single USB drive with a goose shaped enclosure? Do y'all have your own torches and pitchforks? Cause I found a good deal on a bulk order....and like, it's click and collect, I could be down the shops and back in like....15...20 minutes tops?

Why is this posted here??????? Legend!!!!
I just check the port and plug in accordingly, I can't remember the last time I didn't plug it in on the first try.
My fixed wall-mounted flat screen tv just chuckled.
It was turned off.
Sounds like a good time to murder it before it becomes sentient.
I bought one yesterday and tried it for the first done in a while after being all in on C
First try — yeah that’s definitely wrong. Rotate and try again, huh? Rotate again and it worked.
I don’t understand, my first try I made sure to check and push. USB A has the craziest quantum macro phenomena.
My trick is to keep all the USB-A stuff plugged into an USB-C hub at all times. Then I just plug in that one.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
Given the improbability of plugging it in on the first try, I'm going to need to see some proof.
Even when it's first hand knowledge, I don't believe it. I plug in the usb plug. I pull it out reflexively. I try again, it doesn't go in, I confuse, I turn I try again, fail, I turn back, is ok.
Probably could have used the gru plan meme there somehow
Pics or it didn't happen!
What’s it like walking around with a dick that big?
Say what you will about type B, they have a distinct top
Not to be "that guy" but I've never understand this issue. A usb has two distinguished sides that look different from one another one side goes plug in top up and vice versa
Looks like you never used any usb devices. /s
Yeah, and most of the time, the usb ports are designed to the same orientation too.
Try plugging a USB in without looking at the device first. That's what most people do.
Pics or GTFO
Video, or it didn't happen.
Hell froze. What are the chances?!
I used to put a drop of superglue on the top side of my microUSB charging cable by my nightstand so that I never try putting it in the wrong way again, which I didn't.
Oh, that’s good for a tactile method. Ona few I used a white paint marker, but that only works if you are looking at the plug in the light.
“All you have to do” is look closely at the plug and see which side has the seam. Then look at the port and figure out which way the circuit board is using your x-ray vision. The seam, 99.9% of the time, points to the circuit board. If you’ve got at least 3 minutes to spare each time, you’ll usually get it right.
Probability for that is 1:3, because usually it's "doesn't fit" *flip* "doesn't fit" *flip* "fits" .
This is good evidence that the simulation is failing. Maybe need to reset the container.
Witchcraft!
I’ll need some proof before I can believe this. Show us this “plugged in” connection.
We all plug it incorrectly first try.
X to doubt
I have NEVER been able to do this. It always takes me 3 tries. Bravo sir.
