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 or 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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

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. Not 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.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

I fell ya, I once went to a store and it was closed when it was supposed to be open. The sign even said "Open". Maybe they were on the toilet or something.

I can hear the disappointed tut and deep sigh in my head.

I might wash my car myself this weekend.

I'm slightly jealous. Hand-washing your car on your driveway or street is illegal here.

(Not that it makes any difference today when it's -16C and snowing.)

Do you know why it's illegal?

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Washing soap into the sewer system is a no-no. You can wash your car with plain water, but that's it.

Wash it on your lawn, assuming you have one, with biodegradable soap. Chemical Guys makes a good one.

No, western Canada. Calgary.

Ah right, similar climate I guess

I'm not going to wash my car this weekend as I don't own one

Yeah fam I went to a Cuban restaurant yesterday and it was closed, presumably bc of the holidays, but it didn't say so online. 😖

I know how you feel. I went to top off the air in my tires at the gas station only to find that the air hose had been removed.
