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.

“Spearheaded efforts focusing on optimizing environment to enable collaboration and synergy between various teams.”

They are the only person in the office so they have at least earned “Self-Starter” too.

For a while, I was into Nerfsmithing. I built a lot of different things, but my masterpiece was a heavily modified Stampede with a Strongarm attached to it as a front grip. The Stampede would fire 8 darts per second out to around 100 feet. It was fed from a 35-round drum.

It was also designed to look as silly as possible. It had an attached laser, red dot sight, and tactical light; a folding bipod and an adjustable rifle strap; and side holders for extra darts. All of the accessories were repainted in bright nerf colors to match the original scheme.

My proudest moment was when someone decided to hold an office-wide nerf war. (There were around 300 people in our office.) They sent out an email that ended with "Everyone is invited to participate except Curious Canid ." There is no higher accolade.

It's kind of you to say so.

I was into modding for a while! I kinda miss it. My favorite creation was a Long Strike that I ripped out the internals from and put in a pneumatic system from a different blaster paired with a long PVC barrel. That thing could shoot over 100 feet, shooting level not arched.

[–] Curious_Canid@piefed.ca 2 points 5 days ago

That's a very nice build.

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This looks absolutely amazing. The front grip being a side arm is pure genius.

[–] Curious_Canid@piefed.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Thank you!

Actually, I liked the idea so much that I designed a general-purpose bracket that would let me put almost any handgun up there.

Oh, and I also added a bracket so I could mount the Nerf "Machete". It wasn't useful, but it did make the thing look even sillier.

Nobody appreciates all the work that goes into preparing John Wick for his revenge.

"It's going to be a bloodbath when they come".

Time to pull a nerf heist

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm not sure I'd call finding and loading all the nerf guns dull 😂

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm wondering what kind of office you're working at. I've only ever work in 5S compliant officies

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the 'F' in 5S stands for Fun?

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Exactly... 🥲

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thought the one in back was a Bug-A-Salt

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We haven't had a lot of people come in with full autos, but let me tell you, hearing the motor whirring from the corridor before darts start flying is as powerful as a battle cry.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I've got an old water with D batteries that emptied the clip (magazine? not a gun guy) in seconds. Tempted to see if it still works...

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

The nerf smg jams really easily and is all bark and no bite. Those little bolt-action “barking cricket” type pistols, on the other hand, are alarmingly powerful and we always worried they’d take out an expensive monitor.
