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.

Im deeply concerned if there’s not a screw bin also.

Rest easy good sir. For it is hex-shaped.

Those are bolts and nuts? Not screws. Where's the screw bin?

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

They are clearly screws and machine screws.

That's crazy. Who keeps all of their screws in just one bin?

Have you ever played with legos? Ever felt the joy of finding that one piece you were looking for?

That exact same thing translates well to screws as well. Not exactly the most efficient way to build stuff, but it is fun as long as you don't have to search for the right screw a hundred times a day.

Did I say these were all of my screws?

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just toss them anywhere, they'll end up on that fridge

I have a long metal ruler and I stick on a bunch of ring magnets and run them over the hardwood & carpet. They are amazing for picking up lost screws.
