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 isn't an advice forum

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.

That's pretty much it. I love it.

I've been making bread at home since covid. Used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer with the dough hook until now, but that always left a huge mess to clean up. Now I prep a week's worth of dry ingredients in ziplock bags and only have to clean up one mess. I use butter powder rather than regular, and that makes things super convenient.

Before I go to bed, I dump in the water and one of the ziplock bags, set the timer, and have fresh bread waiting for me in the morning.

I don’t think I’ll ever buy one, the idea of an appliance that takes up that much space and only does a small number of things I already do without it doesn’t appeal that much to me.

Although I want to point out these machines make more than just bread. Off the top of my head you can make jam with it, when some fruits are going out of season and going for cheap it definitely looks like less cleanup than making jam the regular way.
