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.

Has the quality of the socks decreased? My last set of those was awful. (Switched to Tesco's workman's socks, last forever)

Anecdotally, every article of Hanes clothing I have ever worn has been of remarkably poor quality.

I'm a dress socks guy, but yes, I have some old socks that were comfortable, the elasticity was perfect. New socks are either stiff, shitty elastic, bad material. I cannot find good ones anywhere, besides one brand in particular. I used to go to express or men's wearhouse and they had great socks (and boxers), and it's like those are t a thing anymore.

Boxers from Costco, the 32° COOL brand or whatever, do not disappoint.

I get kirky boxer briefs and I'm very much satisfied with them. Unfortunately I just went to Costco yesterday, and the odds I remember your suggestion the next time I go are incredibly slim, but maybe I will!

I know that struggle well. 5 years from now you'll remember the tip at a time and a Costco when you can finally use it...only to discover they've been discontinued mere months prior.

Such is life, we tried lol 🤷‍♂️

I use Tesco workman's socks (I imagine UK only) and step one underwear - really good, but have been advertising recently, so I don't know if they are enshiterfying.

Can confirm -- i have the same socks and they fucking suck. They started wearing through in like 3 or 4 months. Trying out some Duluth socks.
