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.

Mowing the lawn like normal, I suddenly felt numerous bites or stings. I guess I stepped near a nest and came away with six stings. Annoying little things, aren't they?

Some years I'll get stung on half a dozen occasions, other years not at all. Depends on how dry it gets and how agressive they are. Yesterday I was unloading a grain bin while I had about a dozen wasps going in and out of a nest built under the edge of the bin. They only got pissy when I started banging on the bin to get the last of the loose stuff to fall. I noped the fuck out of there before they got me.

I have a spray jug loaded up with that cattle oiler stuff with permethrin. That ends them RFN.

Same . I won't get stung for 8 years then get stung on 3 separate occasions in the same summer.

I was sitting in traffic with my window down and watched a yellow jacket fly from out in the distance right into the open window and sting me right under my left eye. What the fuck you stupid fucker 😡
