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.

Tired to replace battery on riding lawn mower , connected it the wrong way around because fuck me they make same shape batteries with poles reversed.
Started motor would happily turn the wrong way around but not engage the flywheel because it is mechanical cog that is supposed to flung in place when spinning.
After I had figured that out and reversed the wires the new battery was pretty empty already, went to buy a battery charger.
Turns out it was completely dead by the time I got one because I had left the ignition on , charger will not even attempt in repair mode.
Well at least the original battery would want to be charged by the charger so I can try that one again
Any tips on getting a completely flat ( but new) battery to come alive again?
Jump it from the old battery to give it enough juice such that the charger is happy.
Worth a shot , see if I can find my jumper cables anywhere
