Dull Men's Club
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.

I donate blood (when my iron levels are good enough), but it takes forEVER. I’m pretty pale and the people working there are always excited for the visibility of my veins, but as soon as they hit one, it collapses. I don’t know why, but wherever they end up leaving the needle suddenly has lower blood pressure than the others, regardless of how hydrated I am. Donating a pint tends to take about 90 minutes for me.
I'm a bleeder, 10 minutes tops, maybe even five.
Same, that's why I can no longer donate. They can never find the veins in one arm, and the other has a collapsed vein from my donations. It's been a while though since I've last checked, so maybe I should give it a try. Also same with how slow it takes lol.
