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.

I got lucky and found a pillow I love when I was a young adult, and I've been using it around 15 years. Tempur Pedic makes a pillow that looks like the red Saddam Hussein meme, and in the past it was made out of very dense foam so it has retained its shape all these years. I bought a second one recently and they have cheaped out in a big way and it sucks now :(

It is notably meant for back sleeping only and is only like 4" tall and cradles the back of your head keeping your spine straight. It's so good, and I'll probably never find a replacement.

That's the same problem I have: every time I find a good one, it sucks the next time I buy it.

... How does a pillow look like a meme?

I was too lazy to go find a photo. Here is a photo of the Tempur Pedic pillow I am talking about.

Your neck rests on the larger side and your skull rests in the valley supported evenly all around. The taller side is only 4" tall on the small size, which is smaller than they recommended for my height, but the medium had too much pressure. It's been a perfect pillow.

The new models don't use the same foam density though so it's springier than it should be

Gotcha. I actually have one of those. My kid loved it because, when I got it, they fit perfectly on it. Since then they've grown a bit.
