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.

I would like some boiled eggs :(
Please send a self-addressed envelope. It will have to be inside another envelope. But that one should have my address—the one on the outside.
I can’t give you my address, but I’m on one of the continents and via process of elimination, you’ll get it eventually.
It might take a while, so you should probably remind me by including a note that you want the boiled eggs.
It might sound like you would end up sending letters asking for eggs to everyone on earth, but unless I’m the last address you send to, that seems pretty unlikely.
I promise fast boiled-egg shipping once I receive the self-addressed envelope (inside the envelope with my address that arrives at my address). You may need to plan to receive other eggs from other people at other addresses, if they respond to your boiled-egg request attempts.
Apologies in advance, I have a policy of not dealing in hollandaise.
And as a reminder, USPS first class mail letter rules are:
up to 3.5oz in weight Minimum Size: 3½ inches by 5 inches Maximum Size: 6⅛ inches by 11½ inches Thickness: 0.009 inch to ¼ inch
First-Class Mail Flats (Large Envelopes) rules: Maximum weight: 13 ounces – Additional ounces above one ounce have a separate per ounce price Flats that are for the round-trip mailings of a disc and that weigh up to 2 ounces can be mailed at the postage price of a 1 ounce Flat. Round-trip mailing of a disc is mailing, under specific criteria, from a mailer who expects to receive the disc back from a subscriber. Large Envelopes (Flats) that exceed 13 ounces are mailed at the Priority Mail® rate
Size Requirements: Minimum Size: 6⅛ inches by 11½ inches Maximum Size: 12 inches by 15 inches Thickness: ¼ inch to ¾ inch
You will need to slice the eggs in order to place them in the envelope.
You are the hero this topic needs, if not the one it deserves.
