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 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.

I drove the speed limit, arrived 2 minutes early, and had a glass of water.

I love the idea of celebrating this kind of behaviour. I personally thoroughly enjoy being a little early to everything, so I can be chill on my way there and enjoy a nice walk, no stress if I can't find the place right away, and I get to build a reputation of not being late to stuff.

Awesome work, keep it up!

I agree, but don't get too enthusiastic. This is dull men's club. Energetic men's club is later, after we've all gone to bed.

At a reasonable time, surely.

After doing the same yesterday I had a little rebellion this morning - turned off the alarm and slept an extra 30 minutes. Still going to work on time, just had to skip the coffee ritual and had a Dr. Pepper instead.

Good job! Now do it again tomorrow! You got this (⁀ᗢ⁀)

It’s always nice to be up properly on time. Not early, not late, but just the right amount of time where you’re not experiencing any excess stress making your way to work.

Still looking but not looking forward to whole getting up and getting there on time thing.

I got up late, but it's only ten minutes from home to work so I'll be ok.
