Inspired by the 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 isn't an 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 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.

I moved out of my parents house when I was 20, to a one-room student apartment. Living with my parents was a major struggle with large amounts of friction, so I was excited about this liberation. On my first day of having moved in, I was quickly struck by the realisation that I owned way too few things to make life work on my own, and hence, I went to the supermarket to supply myself.
One of the first purchases I made was the most basic model of cutlery - three spoons, three forks and three knives. They are the cheapest type of metal cutlery you can buy in Sweden generally speaking and you can find them in cheaply supplied places everywhere.
They are still by far my favourite cutlery. I prefer it over the fancier ones that my grandma gave me, even though those are also very nice, perhaps because of what they mean to me - moving out and living on my own.
