Dull Men's Club
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.

The turtle in question
This photo does an excellent job at highlighting the idea that turtles are basically sandwiches
More like calzones
How did you drive that all the way to the vet? There's barely any room to sit. I don't even see an engine.
I had to take one of my turtles to the vet because of lump just like that. Most of the vets here were like "Uh, we don't know anything about turtles". Until one agreed to try to give him a shot of antibiotics. The lump went away and he lived another 4-5 years, but his attitude changed completely after that. He turned into a cranky old man overnight.
Its an ear infection, seen a bunch of video on how they remove the infection. Easy procedure that needs to be done for the turtles sake.
Did you tell them you'll come back to release it back in the wild? You can't release turtles anywhere. They will die walking trying to find home, the rescue/rehab said they have to be released withing a mile of where you found them.
The turtles I have brought in all went right back to where I found them (except not on the road). All of them were hit by cars w/ busted shells, it amazing how tough they are!
They said the rehab would contact me to arrange the release
Perfect, the kids are gonna love that day! I know I did as a boring old guy :)
I bet she did a bunch of Air Jail-trying-to-walk shenanigans the entire time she was held aloft in the sky 😆
