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.

I’ve never been a big vegetables person (I’m a young adult) but so far have expanded my pallet quite a bit (beyond just veggies) to stuff like mushrooms, peas(sometimes, in fried rice), lettuce, peppers, tomatoes (used to hate), spinach, eggs (hated scrambled eggs, now make it sunny side up), carrots (still not my favorite), and now celery. I’ve been eating celery for two weeks now and I feel so much better mentally. I used to have some issues with my bowels not moving at all, but that has cleared up. I’ve always had trouble finding a vegetable to eat daily, since I lose appetite in them and they just sit in my fridge. Lettuce used to be my go-to, but I realized I simply hated the taste and texture of it after it sat in the fridge for a day. It usually got damp and soggy over time depending on the leafiness and I never liked the taste. Meanwhile, celery doesn’t really have those issues of becoming damp and tastes sweet/good without anything added to it. Though, I always add PB to make it taste better. Has to be thoroughly washed since it is one of the “dirty” vegetables, though.

Well, anyways, that’s my dull men’s post.

Try baby carrots with roasted cashews. You don't need to cook them, just eat them together. They were made for each other. If you like to cook, though, carrot cashew soup is delicious.

I used to eat baby carrots dipped in this stuff, but I needed to cut down on the salt, so I stopped:

Peanut butter on celery is a classic snack.

I've never cared much for celery, it has very little nutritional value. But, the seeds are supposed to help with high uric acid, so I started eating it. It's okay cooked, and I even started liking it. But, I decided it was taking up space that I could use for something more nutritious, so dropped celery in favor of brussel sprouts. Now, I just use ground celery seed as a spice.
