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.

Recipe:

  1. Burn the corners off of one sheet of paper with a lighter. I used A4, but I'm sure US Letter works too.
  2. Crumple it some and then straighten it out.
  3. Make some black coffee, any temperature and pour it into something that can fit the paper laying flat
  4. Bathe the paper until properly stained (or to taste, I guess)
  5. Roast the paper on 100 degrees C for 30 minutes with the convector fan running

The result is a perfect "treasure map" for use as a D&D prop during tonight's session with my kids.

You had me worried. Reading the headline I thought this post was going to be such a dull man thing bordering on psychotic if they are making paper to eat.

I'm a dull man but not so dull as to want to eat paper.

Happy to see it wasn't the case and that you made something neat.

But I am dull enough that watching wallpaper yellowing is close to extreme sports for me.
