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.

What's the point even waking up in the morning when this is the kind of shit that awaits?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 2 months ago

Somewhere there’s someone opening up a bag of monocolor rotini

My condolence

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've refrained from commenting here lately, being a woman, but I have to say, I dislike that brand of sauce and dry pasta.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Everyone can channel their inner dull man here.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you so much. I used to comment here, occasionally, then it occurred to me, if there are women only spaces, perhaps the men would like their spaces. I don't use an app, maybe I can figure out how to make a poll.

But the yellow ones are pasta flavour!

[–] Nora@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be honest, I can never taste the difference between the three. They're basically the same to me.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Green is supposed to have a slight spinach flavor.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

they are often coloured with stuff like beetroot, spinach, squid ink etc so they leave a bit of a taste but it is essentially covered up by like 90% of sauces

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

The taste is perfectly fine to me, but the similarity in smell while cooking it to fresh but wet hay always throws me a bit.

Somewhere there's a quality control engineer with tritanopia who got assigned this job one day without warning and is desperately employing the "fake it until you make it" strategy.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I guess it was more try-color rotini

[–] Fabian@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

This green triggers my natural disgust against mold

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

They making the pasta GAY??

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's what you get for buying Black Marker Brand pasta.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

What? How can they do this? This is outrageous. It's unfair!

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

This is a bigger betrayal than The Never Ending Story.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

One can flip the box over in the store and see how empty the box is.

Really though, shop based on weight.

Imagine this being how you find out you’re colorblind.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I am red-green colorblind and from the shading i do percieve 3 color.

  • plain (beige)
  • red (dark beige)
  • green

I am however unable to verify if everyone here is joking or it is in fact 2 colors and some shading variations.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's illegal.

[–] pelya@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

The injustice

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Here's a song celebrating tri colored pasta, as a way to make up for your loss
