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 or 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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
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. Not 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.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Nice. Thanks for the information. I'll just keep using HEPA filters then. Speaking of which, it's time to buy a new one. QQ
it feels like it's ALWAYS time to replace the dsng filter
and i rent so i have to email a management company repeatedly to get it replaced 😭
We just didn't use a filter at all in our last rental. I know it's bad for the ducts, but the landlord was an asshole, and I wasn't about to spend my money to protect their investment.
good. fuck 'em. if i ever got desperate enough to replace one in my unit i'd keep the old one and put it back when i moved out lmao
Why can’t you just replace it yourself?
There's potentially a rule against it depending on who you rent from (idk w/ my current landlord corporation, would have to ask) and if they're feeling particularly vindictive they could try to use evidence of your "unauthorized repairs" to withhold security deposit.
ymmv depending on how sneakily you can replace an air filter
