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.

Took me a second to realize these are locked behind glass.

Maybe I’m alone on this, but if I see a product that’s locked up, which usually isn’t locked up, then I’m not asking for assistance - I’m just buying it somewhere else.

I was at a store that had those hanger locks on the batteries and chargers so you couldn't get the items off the hook thing. All of the items were packaged in cardboard...

In my local Target and Walmart, the underwear section is a mess with all packaging scattered amongst the various walls. I can tell when they're short staffed by how disorganized it is. I buy stuff from CostCo now for better quality and that section as well as ALL the clothing tables are kept in order.

Yeah, we deffo wouldn't want people to steal.. cheap mens underwear?

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

Its honestly probably one of the most shoplifted items because its one of the most necessary, and people who are struggling can't afford it. There's a reason underwear and socks are the most requested items at shelters.

To me this is similar to putting those bars on street benches so that people can't sleep on them. It's very much a "fuck you" to those who are already struggling the most.

This is literally the underwear index. If people are opting to steal men's underwear instead of purchase, we are in some deep, DEEP shit already.

I'm pretty sure that employee hates the whole situation as much if not more than you do.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

briefs are the way to go if you hate having your balls touch you leg, boxer briefs ride up and you have to pay extra for good cradling

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 14 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I try to be conscious of lifestyle creep as I get older and somewhat more financially stable (lol), but good underpants are a big one.

Good boxer briefs don't ride up, and if you get the ones with a special pouch for your meat and potatoes it's very hard to go back!

[–] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

There's always free-balling it.

That has been my preference since childhood, though obviously it isn't suitable for all occasions.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

It's not really the quality of underwear that would stop the riding up it would more come down to me losing maybe ten pounds to keep my thighs from rubbing together so much, I don't have that problem with briefs but I normally get the smallest comfortable I can so it's pretty much only pouch

I tried a pair of the Duluth Buck Naked with the bullpen and the seam started coming apart in the ball pouch after one wash. My regular Buck nakeds last 5 years or more until the elastic starts giving out. That's far longer than any other kind I've found.

[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

I'm a convert to Saxx - still got my original pair from four odd years back which are still amazingly comfy.

Can you make meth out of underwear?

More of a dare
