Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
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.

Ha, me and my family are from Jersey (New), but if you go up the chain on my mom's side, they're all tea drinkers from mainly southern Ireland, but some north too, and they like it piping, piping hot, to the point they will microwave it if its unsat, and with milk. Black tea, steaming hot, milk.
I drink drip coffee, black, a few drops of stevia, the closer to lukewarm the better so I can chug it down quickly. Because I'm from the east coast of the US, we're all about efficiency. An anecdote I like to tell people is when my brother moved to SF in 2009, we noticed Dunkin Donuts's slogan was not "America Runs on Dunkin'" out there, it was "America's Favorite Coffee," and we surmised it was because, on the left coast, folks enjoyed the experience more, weren't in as much of a rush; whereas, on the east coast, and specifically NYC and it's surrounding areas, it was much more go-go-go, where coffee was seen as more of a utility. I do think it's changed a bit since, though.
