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.

You vs the guy your wife told you not to worry about.

Plot twist: she prefers a fine point.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

It's nice that she told you that.

One for the front, one for the back

The front cover of the book "Learning to put things up your bum: Amateur to Professional"

"Never talk to me or my son ever again"

guess where both are going?

That's how you write in capslock

these are great. I used them in steel workshops where everything had some residue or other that would permanently ruin a sharpie

This is exactly the (hobbyist) motivation that led me to pick it up when I saw it in a store. I don't need it frequently enough for hobby projects to justify getting dykem/layout fluid, but this will work in a pinch and has alternative uses.

... I used it yesterday to mark some wood that needed to be routered flush to take off a high spot.

Is a fun website

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

That would be perfect for poster making. I need to get one for the kids' projects.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

If those smell like other ones I've used, you'll REALLY enjoy your projects now.

Damn. I've only seen Sharpies (and rando graffiti pen brands) with markers that big.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How long is the longest part of the tip? I've been using Sharpie magnums, but I may switch!

[–] clif@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Approximately 1.5cm. I'm attaching a picture but with skew, perspective, scale, lighting, etc it's not a perfect example.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 2 points 18 hours ago

That's a big bigger than the Sharpie, and likely cheaper - I'll probably switch. Thank you for letting me know about this!
