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.

I would show you a picture of the main dish, but I fear it would be too exciting.

Good call. Post was at serious risk of getting interesting.

Nice.

For me, Christmas breakfast is the big work. I'll be cooking two pounds of bacon, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, and ham-and-cheese omelettes for me and the doormen working in the building on the holiday.

Dinner is super low-effort, like frozen pizza low effort. The upside is that this particular frozen pizza is from Shakespeare's Pizza in Columbia, Missouri. It's a national treasure.

None in my family are big on breakfast, so Christmas breakfast is skipped altogether and we compensate during dinner instead. We usually also get a handful of in-laws over as well, so I'm currently "very busy" attending to "work matters" as I am typing this, hoping that people can take the hint and get the fuck out of my kitchen.

As someone who went to school in Columbia, you really like it that much? I think it is mid at best and overpriced.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

God, I love it.

And I'd add, you not liking something doesn't make it mid. Let people enjoy things. Cheers.

I’m not saying you are wrong for liking it. I just don’t. I honesty don’t get the hype.

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 7 points 2 months ago

This is entirely too exciting. I’m going to to lay down now.

They died for a good cause: Comemorating someone who quit their carpentry apprenticeship and become a famous hippie instead.

And for those of us who are agnostic or otherwise don't care: awesome annual family dinner.

You should have celebrated festivus yesterday.

I have no idea. Neither?

If it involves a fresh ham (aka uncured), you would be correct. Although those seem to provide adequate grease sauce, so please excuse my wild speculation.
