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've been trying to add more color in my life and not just automatically buy the black things.
I bought some blue-green golf balls, partly because they were $10 off. But I'm wondering, if I lose them faster than the white ones, did I really save any money?
I never really thought much about color for most of my life, then I had a kid. For as long as they've been able to kind of hold a conversation their default question to get to know someone has been "what's your favorite color?"
My answer was generally blue because I'm male and that's a pretty generic answer for men, but once they got me thinking on the subject, I realized that all of my favorite things were green. My favorite shirt (to the extent that it's now basically disintegrated), my favorite watchband, hell, even my favorite underwear.
So now my favorite color is green and, since the kid knows that, I have a lot more green stuff. It's very sweet that when they go shopping with their mom they see something green and automatically say "we should get that for Dad!"
