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.

And I love doing it so I really don't mind, unless it's those garbage Walmart things that are all serrated because they aren't knives but meat saws. I just tell em to throw them in the trash.
My go-to knife brand is sanelli. Nothing beats em imo
I've just kinda stuck with Henkels over the years for butchering and boning, and Gerber for hunting/gutting. I have a Global kitchen knife but frankly I find I use some cheapshit ceramics quite a lot, I'm very surprised how long they've lasted. I have heard of people sharpening them with carbide, but I've never bothered.
And yes, serrated knives are at best for bread, so they never need sharpening. Anyone using those for cooking needs their head examined.
