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.

Sure it's fun, but why not just make popcorn in a pot? Less waste plus it's as healthy as you want it to be.

My apartment doesn’t have a dishwasher, and I loathe hand washing dishes. It’s my lazy treat and I want that fake butter.

Mmmm. I have multiple ways to make popcorn, but Jiffy Pop has such a delicious and unique flavor and it's fun AF.

Sometimes you just want to Jiffy Pop!

LOL! If you don't wash the pot there will be no washing dishes. I have a designated popcorn pot that is just wiped out and left for the next batch.

I advise not doing that on the basis of gross. Use soap on a vessel after popping corn in it or transporting popcorn in it. It's oil, starch, and steam without super high temperatures.

Yeah I found a page explaining how to make perfect popcorn like 10 years ago and it's pretty easy.
