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
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.

Sigh it’s off center. I didn’t manage them well this time.

Guess I’ll be taking it apart and reassembling it after all, as soon as the wife sees the issue…

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You have a beautiful house

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You don't think about 100 of those little furniture sliders would do it? Lol

[–] nick@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago

We had to move the rug as well, and it had a pad underneath to prevent sliding.

It wasn’t really hard to do the rearranging once I figured out the clip system

Are you certain that you have enough candles in the house?

[–] nick@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

😂 I’ll ask my wife she’s the candle boss

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

Smart move delegating that department. Coming from the guy that once mentioned that I liked one certain candle in the presence of some family from my girlfriends side, and now we have switched to those transparent IKEA containers for storing all the birthday and Christmas gift candles.

At least, all of that is going to make a spectacular bonfire one day.

Yup…that would really bug me. Cant un-see it now

You ain’t wrong. Drives me nuts

I have a pull down TV mount for my TV that is above the fireplace. Works really well and it swivels too.

[–] nick@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago

I’m getting flak from friends about the tv now, so I may look into that arm that lowers it. Seems smart

Thanks! Hell of a lot of oak, hoping oak comes back into style someday 😂

Your house would work great as a horror movie location.

[–] daryashkoh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I like how you turned that confessional booth into a media center. Bold interior design.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you ever throw those parachute army guys off the balcony?

Growing up our house had a similar balcony and my brothers and I would spend all day making parachutes and throwing them or airplanes off of it.

[–] nick@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh man that’s be great. i have girls though so they don’t care for cool toys like that. They have no idea what they’re missing out on

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Parachutes fit on dolls too, after all GI Joes are just dolls for boys.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Your living room is sweet

[–] will_a113@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is that the one from Costco? I sat in something very similar there last week.

[–] nick@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago

Arhaus! It’s hydrophobic but still soft

That rug really ties the room together.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Love your void on top of the cabinet. Does it jump up to the 2nd floor from there?

[–] nick@midwest.social 5 points 2 days ago

She does yeah. She gargoyles like that whenever any strangers are here

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did your cat jump from the balcony? How did it get up there?

[–] nick@midwest.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Down from the balcony, then to get back she jumps up to it. Through the railing supports, which always makes me nervous

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

That is terrifying. Cats are so wild

[–] Ingiald 4 points 2 days ago

Also works better with the sockets in the floor when centred

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

What's that thing in the floor? Looks like a brass mounting point for something..

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In floor electrical socket I think.
