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.

“Why do you have a face. You can’t be coming at me with a face”

“ old man grunt my body is full of bones… you can’t have any. I counted them and it’s like 200.*

“Why are you a dog”

“Why are you a little dog when you could’ve been a big dog”

And finally if no one upvotes this post I’m going to tell her shes a sausage. She became a sausage after my dad died because nobody walked her. She knows she a sausage she just doesn’t like being reminded.

But I’ll tell her she’s a sausage if I don’t get enough upvotes!

Bonus thing I say to my dog and it’s really out there:

Now, the behavior of Andrew Beckett's employers may seem reasonable to you... but when they fired Andrew Beckett because he had AIDS, they broke the law.

Yeah. I’m kinda weird with my dog lol

A family member used to have a small dog that would get all excited if you used a happy voice, he thought he was getting something like a walk, treat or food. I used to say dumb stuff to him like, [in a super happy voice] "Are you stupid? Do you like being stupid? Are you the stupidest dog ever?" He would get so excited and it looked like he was agreeing with you. You could phrase anything in this voice & a happy face. "Do you like to fart?" "Do you want to kill the neighbors? Should we go kill the neighbors?" "Should we steal a car? A big car?" And many more unhinged things I don't want to write here. He would eventually get a treat for being so entertaining.

We had some Chihuahuas like that, it was only tone that they understood. And you could read a recipe and they'd be excited.

Now though we have a rescue dog that knows the words. When she comes to my office she will make some random vocals to get my attention, I then run through the list of what she might want and have to watch her tail and chattiness for a response.

What is it you want? Outside? ...Nothing Call mom? ...nothing Hungry? ...maybe Fishy? ...nothing Dental Bone?...nothing Sardine? ...tail going crazy, lots of talking, and excited paws

Note: not salty sardines for humans, but freeze dried ones for dogs.

Call Mom? Is a popular one in the afternoon when she's starts to miss my wife. I dial (obviously) and they chat over speaker or video call. She has also learned to say hello when my wife comes home.
