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.

Usually we have a strict rule around here to never pick up used furniture, as it's entirely possibly infested with bedbugs. But this was a bit different, this was donated from a ~~church~~ school (my bad). It looks basically brand spanking new, save for a small hole in the left arm of it.

Yeah it got half soaked in the rain, but no big deal, it's at my mom's place now drying out. Here in a couple or few days whenever she tells me it's dry enough, we're gonna haul her old beat up couch away.

Edit: Photo added, cushions are off to the side still drying.

Isn't that more or less just straight up carbon dioxide, or is there more to it than that? Either way, yeah dangerous deadly stuff..

Nope, they used to use Kerosene or Gasoline, ow they use Perc which is a neurotoxin and forever chemical iirc.

The professional way to get rid of them is to heat the building and its contents up to 150f for a few hours to kill the bugs and their eggs.

Yep, true that.

And the unprofessional way is to throw out half your furniture and use X-Rid spray, or whatever the fuck they call it, the stuff just works, but is extremely toxic..
