An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
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.

Tell you a story my dad related from his time in Marine boot.
Guy was putting on his socks, pulled them up like he was wearing panty hose. Know what I mean? Stretching and working them up rather than straight yanking.
"Why are you putting on your socks like a woman?"
"Doesn't make the hair stick out and itch."
Non-hairy dad: OK, I'll save that info in case I have a barbarian son.
It works! I spent years with itchy calves until I heard that story!
This is valuable. I thank that boot, your dad and you. Honor to your house and your calves.
When did I get so hairy?
Think back and ask yourself when was the last time that you found yourself out on the moors during a full moon?
We should all reflect on this, from time to time.
Can't, no reflection.
Scrape most of the water off with your hands after you turn the shower off and you’ll dry faster.
Air hose
A pro life hack I learnt once was to "wring myself out" with my hands before exiting the shower. It helps a lot.
To clarify, this means to run your hands down your body to brush the water off, like a squeegee. Not to twist your skin like some kind of playground punishment.
And it's a game changer. Not only do you dry faster, but your towel dries faster, too.
Dude. Uncool.
Either he WAS smart enough to know not to contort his body into bone crunching positions...
OR
.......he might have tried. And we could have laughed.
Well NOW we'll never know. You took that from us.
You're right. In fact, I take it back. Crossing your legs, putting one arm behind your back, and using the other hand to give yourself a titty twister makes you dry faster. Don't ask me how it works, but it does. Send a video so we can tell you if you did it right.
This was life changing when I started doing it. My towels went from soaked to moist after the shower
How hairy are you lycanthropes?! I've done that, but it didn't make a meaningful difference.
I remember that day. It was over the summer of 2022 and just seemed to happen overnight.
Personally, I think it looks good on you. Oh, and would you mind turning your couch back the way it used to be? It kind of blocks the view of the hall now.
Dark! You know what else is dark? Peri-menopause hairs on my frggin chin and cheeks! They don't look anything, in texture or color, like any other hair on my personage. Do men get these, too? Like weird little goat whiskers, but only one at a time?
Yes, but they start coming in about 30 years earlier.
the only cosmetic procedure I've ever considered is full body lazer hair removal.
You could try shaving. I do it regularly because im also hairy if I dont. I do sleep better, dry faster, im cooler in warm weather, and maybe a couple other benefits i cannot remember
Shaving exfoliates your skin, women shave their faces to exfoliate, even if they don't have facial hair that is bothersome.
Probably most of it during puberty, though it can still gain density in some parts until it eventually can start to fade, in some parts, or not, depending mostly on genetics.
When I get out of the shower it’s like trying to dry a wet towel with a towel.
I make my dog shake a couple times before getting out of the shower for this very reason, she finds it much more amusing than me scrunching her like a sponge.
How do you make a dog shake?
One dog, two scoops of ice cream and a splash of milk.
Treats. Loud, high pitched praise.
Grab it's paw while saying "shake" and give it a treat until it hands you their paw just for saying "shake."
Oh, simpler than I expected. Cool…
Hey wait a second…
