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
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.

If you get a glue trap, they're stuck, and now you have to deal with a live, suffering animal. If you get a regular mouse trap, they'll almost certainly have their necks immediately, and humanely broken before you find them. I know that's still not great, but it's the better of the options available. I know of no animal-rights person that wants rats crawling over them while they sleep...
I use the snap traps, although the last time I did that, I had to execute a few mortally wounded mice, which was not fun. So many mice were coming into my old house that I resorted to rat poison there (I don't expect things to get that bad here) but glue traps are over the line for me.
We're on the same side. I had a mouse in the 3rd floor of my first apartment building, and had to humanely put it out of its ❔mystery❓ when I finally caught it. ☹️ I haven't used a glue trap since then...
*DAMN YOU, AUTOCORRECT!
I know it's a autocorrect, but "humanely put out of it's mystery" is exquisite boneappletea
That is pretty great...
They climb pretty well, because I'm 14 stories up.
Yeah, that definitely came down from one of your neighbors...
Maybe it took the stairs.
Check out the electric mouse traps. Mouse walks in, there’s a snap sound, mouse is instantly dead. Worked well for me
