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 know you can clean them right?

The heat sanitizes it every time I use it so I’m not sure if it visually being pretty is worth the time or effort.

Interesting read, you're mainly correct according to this, not because it kills all the bugs, but if you don't get old food falling into your dish while it's heating, you're probably pretty ok.

.Clean your microwave and cover your food when you microwave it, don't live like an animal just because it won't kill you. It's part of being an adult.

I don’t think animals are able to use a microwave.

You could have made your point without shaming people. If indeed you want to help them change their behaviour, that is incredibly counterproductive.

Good thing they didn’t shame anyone.

It is shameful to live like this. People need to know it's not ok. This message wasn't just for him it was for anyone else thinking the can stop cleaning theirs because it's "safe".
