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.

It turns out that some sides of magnets will not stick together. We have forgotten this fact and rediscovered it multiple times in the last thirty minutes, and this scientific discovery is not at all appreciated.

Admittedly, I had a similar reaction to Biot-Savert’s law back in E&M. I did manage to not throw things at the time.

May I suggest a snack and/or a nap. My little one went mental for little things when he was hungry

Is this advice for OP? Or for the toddler they are watching? Or both? I mean, nobody can really go wrong having a snack and a nap.

There's studies showing adults too are more generous/reasonable after eating something and much less generous or reasonable when hungry.

They were looking at judges. You really want a verdict after lunch.

They've used this to try and schedule meetings with Trump when he's the most agreeable and focused.

Then they should probably try for times after he's eaten a giant hamberder and just come out of a pre teen pageant dressing room

I'm not even involved, but I'd take a snack and a nap
