Dull Men's Club

A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.

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 or 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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

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. Not 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.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Been trying to avoid plastic containers when I can. So I'm drinking canned water when I'm not near a tap and glass.

aren't cans the same as drinking from a plastic bottle because the can is lined with plastic on the inside? maybe it's less bad, haven't looked much into it.

In a very binary thinking sort-of-way, yes.

But it's kind of like saying: Driving a motor scooter is the same as driving a bus.
Sure, they're both ICE vehicles. But it's disingenuous to say they're the same.

ah, I didn't really consider the environmental aspect. for some reason I just assumed it was due to micro plastics/health reasons. you're right, when considering the environment cans are obviously superior to single use plastic bottles.

Thanks for the analogy
