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.

Using a riding lawnmower as a kid was how I found out that some bees lived in the ground. My face was so swollen due to all of the stings.
To top it off my uncle had disabled the safety switch that turns the mower off when you stand up so that stupid thing just kept going as I ran to the house. Stupid kid me ran back to the mower to turn it off which meant I got stung even more!
I had a story like this, but funnier ……
At one point when we were kids, we were grounded for whatever reason and really really wanted to go play in the woods behind our house.
I made it first and ducked behind the compost pile for cover. Apparently I woke the hive
My little brother almost made it but stopped short and started swatting at his pants
My other younger brother started screaming and ran off toward the house.
Yeah, my older brother and I were the little shits laughing at our brothers’ pain
