Dull Men's Club
A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.
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've just been using the same brand of socks for ~15 years 🤷♂️ I just get like one pack every year and have never had to match anything since. I also have never understood the fancy-/patterned-sock craze, so that's a non-issue.
I had this system for a few decades - I only owned identical black socks with a few white and grey stripes at the top. Any two socks was a pair.
It was unfortunately ruined by a well-meaning present, then destroyed when the shop they used to come from closed down.
Now I live in sock chaos.
I've been using the same couple packs of the same sock for almost ten years I think. I never walk in them without shoes, wash on delicate, have fine some really minor repairs on two or three socks, and they still look fine. Just regular puma socks, I dunno why they have lasted so long. It makes me unreasonably happy NOT to buy new clothes.
