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.

That's a lot of miles in a day ;)

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You don't think that van is moving at roughly 11x the speed of sound?

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They were good back then. They don’t make them like they used to.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

First they came for the hypersonic vans then they came for the carburetor, have they no decency

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 4 days ago

Probably counting the Earth's orbit around the sun.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I thought "rolled over" meant something else, but that would have been far too not-dull.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s an old timey parlance from the days of mechanical odometers.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Somewhere out in the west, there's a town with a lone van rolling with the tumbleweeds. Makes the shootouts all the more interesting

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Exactly: not dull

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

This is aggressively not dull

Hell yeah, here’s to 200k more

[–] MigratingApe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, maybe we should have very short term bans, just for the lulz

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How is that dull, though? It’s a dilemma inside a conundrum . .

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah having short term bans for not being dull enough, is in itself not a dull thing to

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

"I hwish Peggy were here to see this"

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

I got you beat. I put 16,000 miles on my car in the eight years I've owned it. I don't go out much since I retired. That's how you do dull.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

That's why you should apply the parking brake before leaving. You're lucky nobody were injured!


I sold my 30 year old faithful Volvo 940. The odometer was around 450000km

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

I have a 2002 Ford F-150 7700 4×4 with about 320,000 km on it. I should be up in the 450k range right about 2032, assuming civilization hasn’t collapsed and fuel is still broadly available.

It was my father’s truck, so I am quite invested in keeping it in good repair. About the only things not working are the AC, the rear window trim (when it rains), and the radio (haven’t been arsed to track down the fuse that blew). Everything else is in decent to great condition for a truck just shy of a quarter century. Runs like a dream, not a single leak on the engine.

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wow it must have been going really fast, the day isn't even over yet. See if you can keep it rolling.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Like so the brakes not work? I don't understand

[–] Sarcasmo@piefed.social 9 points 4 days ago

Trying to catch up...

[–] RedC@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Still going lol

[–] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 6 points 4 days ago

I really hoped it will get back to 0

Congratulations!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Back in the day, 100K was a piece of shit, no one would touch it. Powertrain warranties were 36K. Cars are amazing these days, but I loathe the maintenance.

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Just replaced a car with 256k on it, it is still in the family though. Old Lexus.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

Should have put the parking brake on.

[–] ptc075@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Always glad to see. What's your maintenance look like? Any advice for the rest of us?

[–] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 3 days ago
  1. Get a Honda or Toyota
  2. change oil every 5-10k miles
  3. If it aint broke dont fix it
  4. wash it once a year (optional. DO NOT WAX- its bad karma)
[–] gladflag@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] Steve@startrek.website 4 points 4 days ago

I know, right?

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

What a wee baby! Onwards towards 1000000!

[–] Smart_Penicillin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago
[–] David_Eight@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What car is it? What type if maintenance schedule?

[–] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Honda, 2001, If it aint broke dont fix it

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Wh00t! Giddyap!

[–] Lembot_0006@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

Why rolling? Don't you have wheels?

[–] jode@pawb.social 2 points 4 days ago

I just missed 123,456 on my new to me GTI :C
