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.

Ahead of a christmas baking session, decided to clean the oven

Pulled out the front glass and the inside ribs, smothered it in brown soap and put them in a plastic bag to soak outside overnight. Smothered the inside of the oven in brown soap, covered the bottom of the oven in a damp cloth to let the soap do all the hard work. This morning, scrubbed out all the soap from inside the oven and rinsed the glass and ribs in ample hot water under the tab. Put the glass back in and ran the pyrolysis function on the oven. After it cooled, ran a damp cloth over the inside of the oven and remounted the ribs. Clean as new

I don’t know, “brown soap” sounds kind of exotic….

Taking out and cleaning both glass panes (my oven has double glass in the door) is so satisfying. I'm tempted to clean the oven now, too, although it's not really dirty.
