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.

I mean, I've heard that this subreddits name actually has a lineage that traces back to a specific podcast. But I didn't know it was an actual club people were forming in certain locations.
So - [No]
I suppose my interest would be based on the actual point of the club. If it were actually a club of actually dull men, I probably wouldnt be interested.
But really, the whole conciet of this comm is that actually, most of the subs are quite interesting people, who happen to be doing things that would be considered "dull". In which case, honestly.... I'd be into it. I like little home rennovation and mechanical DIY projects, and it would be cool to have a local group that got together to help eachother do those things. Like "hey, I need to change my brakes and rotors, but I've never done it before - who wants to drink beer in my driveway and help me out?" And then we do that. What's weird is that I've looked for some sort of group like that before in my area, and havent found anything, which is weird, because so many people do this stuff.
