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.

Took the time to get a replacement and redo it instead of throwing the whole thing out. Sitting in it feels better than ever.

Very impressive. I was going to ask how you did all the little rivet holes until I saw you ordered it

The kits for them are cheap, they go in with a hammer.
Punching a couple eyelets is easy. That many? No way.

They make "guns" for them too which are like pliers. Even easier than the hammer and faster.

I definitely would have replaced it if I had to punch my own holes haha

I think I have this exact chair. Nice work!

Interestingly, usually the metal frame would usually go bad and rust before the fabric would go bad

The frame is a little rusty, but still solid. The fabric did its best, but it doesn't help that I'm close to 3 bills and have been using it for years.

It's some sort of sturdy, rough, probably synthetic canvas. Meant for enduring outdoor conditions for sure.

Fake. People in zero gravity don't need chairs, especially this one. /s
