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’m looking for a dull man’s gift guide for Christmas. Any suggestions? What dull gifts are on y’all’s wish list this year?

Fuck I hate getting socks for Christmas. Or any clothes for that matter. I have specific ones I like and when I need new ones I buy them. Also other people's tastes aren't mine

This is why socks & jocks work. No one can see them most of the time and they wear out annually.

Annually? Are you made of sandpaper or are you buying crap clothes?

How long do socks last on you?

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I rotate a half dozen pairs and am on my feet a lot. I need 3ish pairs per year. Probably a lot different if you're at a desk most of the day.

My apologies, my calculations were off, we can wash once every two week here so i have like 20ish pairs of underwear and socks, so wear is less concentrated and clothes last longer. In average your wear rates match mine.
