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.

It's solid black, I've seen it twice now. It's supposed to dip to 0°F or lower this weekend so tomorrow I'll be setting up a shelter with a heat lamp. If it decides to stick around I may try trapping it to get shots and a vet visit in the spring. I have 6 cats at present so I really don't need another but if it stays outside I don't see a problem, I like cats.

For me the best judge of character is how people treat animals. You sound really wholesome.

Thank you, I have a soft spot for animals, 5 of my cats, my dog, 2 lizards, a goose and 6 of my chickens were all given to me by people who could no longer care for them. It costs a mint to keep everyone healthy but I don't mind.

How do you make a shelter without it becoming raccoon city?

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I don't really have raccoons around here but if something else calls the shelter home, so be it I guess.
