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.

Gotta break out the ol' rain bibbs, jacket, galoshes, and gloves to get up on a ladder and clean them out. Because I am worried about the foundation getting more damaged by the water runoff not being directed at least a few feet away from the house.

What's with the getup? All you need is a ladder and your Speedo. Hop to it!

Yeah, I got tired of doing this so installed gutter guards. They make it harder to clean the gutters, but now that task only needs to be done every five or ten years.

Be careful. Have someone with you. My buddy recently broke both of his arms trying to get down off his roof and the ladder toppled. He was alone and had no one to call for help with bones sticking out.

Well he'll always have his mom

sounds like you might need to increase your downspout size or add more downspouts.
