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.

I seriously do not understand the cultural reluctance to adopting the bidet. After using one it becomes instantly clear how awful the alternative is.
Hi I’m from the TP lobby, but don’t you want to smear poo around on yourself with a piece of paper that will probably rip anyway and get it all over your hand too? 🥺
American Conservatives think washing buttholes is the ghey.
I can't believe people don't want to feel their own buttholes. Smh my head.
As someone from a country where bidets are normalized, I was horrified when I learned what the toilet paper in Western cartoons was actually used for.
Wait you don't use both?
I think they mean that they didn't realise the toilet paper was used for "cleaning" instead of just for drying up after the cleaning was done.
I put off getting one for a long time just because I didn't see a problem with the way things were going. If only I had realized sooner how much better life could be.
Mostly speculation on my part and remembering conversations from decades ago, but at least in the US among men, anything touching your butthole = gay. Using a bidet is something those effeminate Europeans use and not something for manly Americans. These same men think that actually cleaning your butthole in the shower is also gay. Fortunately this mainly seems to be a mindset that older generations hang onto, as I talk to younger folks (Millennial and younger), they seem to be much more open to bidet usage. I have one installed at home and I don't feel clean if I have to do my business somewhere without one.
I've noticed this as well and have starting using bidets as a quality of life improvement flex.
Hard to pretend you're the man when you're walking around with a nasty ass and I'm over here feeling fresh as fuck on the hottest day of the summer.
Haha. If I have to do business elsewhere I'll give myself a rinse when I get home in order to freshen up.
Gay: remotely squirting water at your butt. Not gay: shoving your hand up your butt covered by the world thinnest paper.
Right! Maybe it's due to its French origin. Freedom lovers can't stand French things.
