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 or advice forum.
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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
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. Not 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.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
We have a basic Roomba and that's been our game changer.
To run it well you have to do a once over, pick up socks and the like. Then when it's done it just feels a little natural to go around and tidy up a little.
This also involves picking up dishes, so my next break would be washing dishes. Then dinner prep.
All my work breaks are active, getting the house ready. The wife comes home to a decently clean house and dinner, and I was on the clock when I did it all.

I know what you're saying but I'm chuckling at the thought of you needing to pick dirty dishes up off the floor to run your vacuum robot
Do you normally just vacuum around the dirty dishes on the floor?
My current house has a central vacuum system and I don't think I can use anything else now.
It's a vacuum cleaner with a big goofy face on the front right? It works really well?
That's the one! And yeah, it really sucks!
I'm baffled by the constant good reviews I read about Henry vacuum cleaners. Either they're doing really well in convincing people that the product's good just because they expected it to be good, or you're all upgrading from really terrible hoovers.
Henry can't navigate a corner despite being round, it has so-so suction power, and it has nowhere to stash attachments (or at least, the last one I used didn't).
It does have a big smiley face on the front, though. Maybe that's the ticket.
Are you kidding me?! It sucks so hard!
There are recepticals on the back to hold the attachments.
Maybe they've improved!
