An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

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.

“Why do you have a face. You can’t be coming at me with a face”

“ old man grunt my body is full of bones… you can’t have any. I counted them and it’s like 200.*

“Why are you a dog”

“Why are you a little dog when you could’ve been a big dog”

And finally if no one upvotes this post I’m going to tell her shes a sausage. She became a sausage after my dad died because nobody walked her. She knows she a sausage she just doesn’t like being reminded.

But I’ll tell her she’s a sausage if I don’t get enough upvotes!

Bonus thing I say to my dog and it’s really out there:

Now, the behavior of Andrew Beckett's employers may seem reasonable to you... but when they fired Andrew Beckett because he had AIDS, they broke the law.

Yeah. I’m kinda weird with my dog lol

Her face betrays her private thoughts, and they're the most insanely inappropriate things I have ever heard. Not one iota of her semihomogenous, meaty dumptruck is even close to anything that could be considered an actual dog. Everyone in this thread is burdened for having suffered through it. I award her no pets, and may Dog have mercy on her soul.

"You have so many feet. Let me count them."

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago

Which of course allows you to count how many feet they don’t have

A family member used to have a small dog that would get all excited if you used a happy voice, he thought he was getting something like a walk, treat or food. I used to say dumb stuff to him like, [in a super happy voice] "Are you stupid? Do you like being stupid? Are you the stupidest dog ever?" He would get so excited and it looked like he was agreeing with you. You could phrase anything in this voice & a happy face. "Do you like to fart?" "Do you want to kill the neighbors? Should we go kill the neighbors?" "Should we steal a car? A big car?" And many more unhinged things I don't want to write here. He would eventually get a treat for being so entertaining.

We had some Chihuahuas like that, it was only tone that they understood. And you could read a recipe and they'd be excited.

Now though we have a rescue dog that knows the words. When she comes to my office she will make some random vocals to get my attention, I then run through the list of what she might want and have to watch her tail and chattiness for a response.

What is it you want? Outside? ...Nothing Call mom? ...nothing Hungry? ...maybe Fishy? ...nothing Dental Bone?...nothing Sardine? ...tail going crazy, lots of talking, and excited paws

Note: not salty sardines for humans, but freeze dried ones for dogs.

Call Mom? Is a popular one in the afternoon when she's starts to miss my wife. I dial (obviously) and they chat over speaker or video call. She has also learned to say hello when my wife comes home.

She’s a sausage.

You can tell she knows it

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 16 hours ago

Best looking sausage I've seen in a decade!

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 25 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Also "why is dog?" Is a question asked daily in my house.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago

A lot of “why are you such a cat” and “why are you such a dog” is used interchangeable across various species in this home.

It is known.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Yeah lol I say the stupidest stuff to my pets. Half the time I don’t even know what it means.

“Why are you a dog with a face”

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 6 points 12 hours ago

This place is the delightfully garrulous quixotic mens club?

Always has been 🔫

Final guilt trip post. I’m going to tell her she going to see her friend Remus (my sisters dog) and she’s going to see Shaylee, and amber, and Austin and she’s not a sausage at all!

Or… Or…. I’m going to tell her she needs a bath, and shots, and I’m going to put on my walking outfit but tell her she can’t go but I’m going to get ice cream and she has to stay home. I normally share my ice cream but instead I’ll look her in the eye and say firmly “NO! Bad dog! None for you”

Again read all that in the saw “I’d like to play a game” voice

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

At least tell her she is a beautiful sausage.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

No. Demands are clear. I will (with enough likes) will tell her she’s a tiny dog and a pretty tiny dog who is loved and has many friends. Like Remus and Shaylee.

Or…

Or…….

I tell her she’s a sausage! Just sausageing around like a sausage and the whole internet knows it!

I hope you all read that in saw “I’d like to play a game” voice.

Good girl or suasuage the choice is yours.
