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.

Not pictured are a dozen eggs and a 5lb sack of spuds under the cilantro.
I'm to that age where I take great joy in comparative shopping. I'm sure I could have saved a few more bucks if I had shopped around a bit more, but this wasn't bad.
Total was $66.64.
Some highlights I think are great value
$1.99/lb chicken breast $0.33 per avocado $2.99 per Red Baron pizza $0.79 per can of tuna
I used to work there, I agree on all points. No judgement for going there, we gotta make the budget work somehow
I feel for their workers. They're always so pleasant despite all the hats they wear.
Hmmmm.......I usually don't see the workers at my Aldis wear any hats. Maybe 1 hat, and I don't remember it, because that doesn't stick out in my mind as out of place.
But certainly nobody wearing 17 hats or anything. I'd take a picture of that, and ask them "Hey man, why are you wearing so many hats???"
Unless it leads to more profit somehow, I couldn't see Aldi spending money on hats for their employees lol
It's an American idiom, probably emerging about 60 years ago but n-grams dates first usages in print to around 1947.
To wear many hats is to do many different jobs or have many different responsibilities.
Right, I was making reference to the owners of Aldi being notoriously cheap lol
