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

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

Was not aware we were supposed to compare shoe size to age.

Just make sure you use metric units or the whole system falls apart

The whole system is, in fact, falling apart

edit: this is about the US, right?

I don't really follow the US news that much, but I have been watching some legal eagle videos from time to time. It's been pretty wild. Seems to me that laws don't really matter any more.

Well, recently I also saw a news headlines about federal courts ruling that certain executive orders were illegal etc. I guess you may still have some hope.

“System” makes me assume it’s the simulation in which you and I reside

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Maybe that’s the root cause of our current situation: we are all 11 years old

[–] lemmyman@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

I think he's playing on the saying "act your age, not your shoe size," hinting that he knows it's a silly/childish thing to do, but excusing it because his feet are enormous.

For a better ageing experience, you should start to regularly work out before you get older than your shoe size.
