Inspired by the 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 isn't an 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 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.
Picture description: an image of a dining table, a cup of coffee and an electronic tablet in which is visible the reflection of the torso of a person wearing a hoodie, printed with the letters IBM in pride colors.
Good condition. What's your connection to IBM?
What is it? Not a great pic, all I see is darkness.
With a woosh did I hurry to the keyboard and sat down with a loud thud at the library otherwise so quiet, that one could hear even the hissing and the whirring and the humming of the in-door ventilation system. Clickity-clackity the keyboard said, as I began typing this reply. Barely was the murmur of the other guests at the library noticable to me, as my thumping heart beat all the faster to provide enough blood to my ever so strained fingers. I started to prespire. Drops of sweat trickled down my cheeks, dripping onto the wooden desk in the almost painfully silent library. A nearby clock's tick-tock was the only thing that eased the tormenting silence. Or so I thought. The ticks became pows, the tocks became booms, and just as I was about to faint from the overwhelming pressure, I snapped out of it as it popped into my head like a spark of genius: just be honest, bada bing, bada boom.
You are absolutely right. I'm sorry for the bad quality! Let me add in a little description. Meanwhile, it's a black hoodie with the letter "IBM" in pride colors on it.
The multi-color IBM logo predates "pride colors" by like 50 years

Cool fact! Had any dealings with them?
So you flipped the image to make it more readable? Might've worked slightly better non-flipped, tbh. Seeing mirrored letters may have prompted the thought that this is a reflection. And it's not that hard to read through big letters in reverse :)
