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.

I buy exactly what I will eat for the week, and eat it all. I don't waste any food. At the end of seven days, my refrigerator is nearly empty, except for things that last me more than one week, like milk.

And is it the same meal three times a day? And how do they drink milk that's over a week old and not vomit?

Milk keeps fresh for more than two weeks if you keep the container closed, doesn't it? And after opening one container you simply use it up within several days where it stays fresh.

Never had a problem with that.

If you keep it unopened, yes, it'll definitely keep longer than a week. I gathered that OP is talking about an opened container of milk though

Resealable holds more than a week np 👍

I buy 3 one litre bags of milk every two or three weeks and they last just fine, what kind of milk are you drinking?

For those not in the know, eastern Canada has bagged milk. Look it up. I know of nowhere else that does this

The upper portion of the Midwest US used to, specifically kwik trip gas stations. They have their own line of goods, and until like 2 yrs or so ago that included bagged milk. Very disappointing it’s no longer available. They said it wasn’t worth replacing the old bagging machine.

Germany had them until the 80s. Cool concept with less trash.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Do you open all three bags when you get them and then keep using them for three weeks? I'm going to guess no, that you instead open them one at a time and use each one within a week of opening.

Milk usually lasts just over a week...

Sadly, I do not know the answer to either question. Hopefully OP comes through.

I bought fresh milk today, the use-by date is 11 December. It'll still be fine by then. It only goes off if you leave it out of the fridge.
