Inspired by the 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 isn't an advice forum
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.
Let’s see you got the batteries that may or may not have charge, bottle of pills, you got the dried up tube of superglue, loose fixed blade knife…
Yeah looks like you got all the basics.
I’d recommend thou that some of those screws should be lose and rattling around the drawer, and see if you can’t get a key to an old Chrysler to throw in as well. Or maybe some pogs ( or a Pokémon card. The rarer the better)
Oh definitely. I did notice you’re missing a couple of rubber bands that are so old they’re kind of - melted? Or something?
If you want the melted rubber bands you got to throw in the bottle of goo-gone that’s just coated in oil. The rubber bands should be stuck to that bottle.
Fair point. Oh, and the ancient ziploc with ??? in it.
The baggie needs to need worn enough to get opaque, so any time you want to remember what’s in it you have to open it and look again.
pogs
Wow, it has been a very long time since I've heard or seen any mention if those
I had the make you’re own pog machine growing up. It was pretty awesome.
Same! I made some cool custom pogs from magazine cutouts
what if instead of a wine and art class there was a place you just go with your friends, make a bunch of pogs, drink beer and play pogs again.
Are those two identical potato mashers? Those will do very nicely to eventually fill the roll of “why the fuck won’t this drawer open??”
Nay, ‘tis a set of poultry lifters! The masher is in the main utensil drawer.
I did not know such a device existed. Here I’ve been lifting poultry with my hands like a sucker.
Yep, and he even remembered a loose knife! That way when you’re fishing your fingers under to try to get the drawer unblocked you can slice your hand open.
Classic junk drawer.
TIL there are people who don't have a junk drawer in their kitchen.
What's next? Having a fridge without a freezer? A bathroom without a towel rack? A bedroom without a closet?
I assume these are lizard people. Or skin sacks full of spider aliens like Ted Cruz
Very nice but you realize it's going to grow, right? I recently repacked my junk armoire to make some space for actual clothes.
I went all junk drawers a few years ago. Every drawer in the house. It might be an adhd thing
I do, and I’m ok with it 😂
That’s a terrible junk drawer. Totally needs a few rubber bands, some paper clips, a thumb tack and a small screwdriver that won’t fit any actual screws. The anti-diarrhea medicine is on point though.
It's also missing appliance manuals, screwdrivers and a hammer, plus random fast food sauce packets and straws.
And bread ties, I wouldn’t keep sauce packets in my home junk drawer though but I hear you on the straws
Hey I don't intentionally put them there. They just end up there sometimes, okay? :P
That said, I know someone who intentionally puts their sauce packets in the junk drawer. But FWIW they stick them in plastic zipper bags first.
Needs a light bulb.
Dude. Now I know where to put my light bulbs!
No no, not actual light bulbs - ridiculous ones you’ll never use like that spare incandescent Maglite one from 1992. Oh and the night light one from ?? Both of which have a 30% chance of working.
30% is generous
It's not realistic.
Kudos on the loose, sharp knife.
You need to make sure that the macerator is in such a position that you'll never be able to get the drawer back open.
My secret is, all my drawers are junk drawers
[Scrolling back to make sure I upvoted.]
Also get a big jar and throw in a bunch of small random metal objects like nails, screws, nuts, bolts, washers, and anything else that looks like it could hang out in this crowd. If you assemble IKEA furniture, just use this jar as a dumping place for all the spare parts and hex keys.
Good attempt, though the hand blender needs to go at the back of the corner cupboard, just near enough that you can still see it, but far enough back that it's a pain to get out without removing several other items. Pills go in the medicine cupboard.
My medicine cupboard is very small, and needs to be replaced, and is very full
Ah, overspill, it's just perfect then.
Get some dividers in there for the big stuff and it'll almost be organised
I have the same stick blender, it works pretty well - spouse made me use it to make coffee foam today even.
It's great for caesar dressing, and other emulsions.
Needs 82 random hardware pieces from IKEA furniture.
On it
So this is just me being paranoid, but, try to keep those batteries separate. It's very unlikely, but, I've seen the aftermath of a battery fire and its crazy.
Otherwise nice drawer, you've graduated to pro when you can't get I open lol
One of us! One of us!
got a pen or lighter in there?
I actually have all my pens and markers in a holder on my desk. But I could put one in there. I’ll have to see if have any lighters. So far I don’t have anything that requires combustion.
Why are pencils in that draw? Get them into that holder
Done and done
