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.

Ugh. Can't stand Oasis.

Did you build the electric one? What's it sound like?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm not that handy. It's a Bohemian 'Oilcan' uke. The single coil pickup and steel strings give it a real Telecaster sound. The Makai one on the right is also electric.

Edit: Pardon the extremely amateur production, but here's me doing a surprising rendition of No Suprises by Radiohead on it back in 2019 with a dear friend.

Not as tinny as I imagined it sounding. Nice cover and thanks for sharing!

I cant hear the word Ukulele without thinking of Taimane Gardner.

That's great. I've always been a bit partial to James Hill, myself.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'll have to check him out when I get home. Thanks for the suggestion.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Then there's Roy Smeck, 'The Wizard of the Strings'
