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.

This plunger is very good for clearing out a clogged sink. Much better than any other plunger I've tried before.

Everyone knows this is a dildo with an airbag to prevent it going too far up the ass. But I’m glad you found a second use for it.

I’m just kidding, leave me alone.

Have you ever tried one of these? I always use them for hair in bathroom sinks

That just seems painful. Also not sure the handle on those is wide enough to be considered a flaired base.

Plungers like that tend to make short work of any bathroom clog.

[–] oshu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

True! I prefer the version with the long handle for the toilet however.

I thought this was something very different when I saw the top, and before I read the title.

Came here looking for comments about how firmly he holds it and whether he plunges hard and fast, or slow and gentle.

He really just meant plunging.

i had one of these when i was growing up - it was awesome.

now i am 40 and fondly remember that one while using the shitty wooden stick with a rubber dome.

where did you find this beauty?

Check your fave online store or search engine for "luigi plunger"

eta: this is the real name, not a joke

It’s important to remember to seal the air vent with tape before plunging.

How does your sink get clogged? It isn't something I've experienced.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Oil, mucus, toothpaste, soap, and hair stick to the plunger part of the drain stopper over time. I've never had a temporary clog where I’ve need to plunge the sink though.

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Food or grease, tooth paste from a child, bar soap...

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Shaving, and in my case, shaving soap containing tallow.

[–] oshu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know but this plunger gets it fixed very quickly

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Those are great for sinks.

But toilets are the realm of the closet snake. Way more effective, less splashing, usually significantly faster as well. Plungers often just shove a clog deeper, with the goal of getting it to sections where things are smoother or wider. A closet snake breaks up the clog.

I was hoping for pinball chat :(
