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.

Got them at Costco because I’m dull.

But on the way home my car went into limp mode with a check engine light and a computer error light.

Called Costco and they said “we just did the tires” but when I reset the system by disconnecting the battery the traction control, power steering, and tire pressure lights came on.

And it’s still in limp mode.

Taking her to my guy later today.

Thanks Costco.

ETA: Turns out my coil packs and spark plugs went bad, it was just a coincidence that it happened after the tires.

ETA II: My guy said the spark plugs were all the wrong kind.

I just joined and visited Costco for the first time this weekend. I also cancelled my membership the same day.

Not worth all the hype, but the hot dogs are pretty good.

I’ve been getting tires there for years because it’s almost always the cheapest and they do a decent job.

An Irishman on YT has me convinced they broke a wheel position sensor.

And I didn’t even get a hot dog

Costco is pretty far from my house, so that was a major factor when we decided it wasn't worth making that trip once a month.

I only ever use them via Instacart and for tires. Though maybe not even that anymore.

If you have a gift card they will let you in, even if the gift card doesn't cover the whole purchase.

News I can use, I know what to ask for on my Christmas wish list.
