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.

I’m intrigued by induction but I just had a new gas stove installed because I grew up with shitty electric and gas feels so much nicer.
I also had to replace the granite because the new cooktop was an inch too big on either side. Oof.
Induction is nothing like shitty old electric stove tops, I promise you! Those were terrible, I agree.
Nice. I technically have two cooktops (main one and a kind of weird 70s indoor grill that we never use), maybe if I get rich I’ll replace the second one with an induction. Just have to run a 240 line to it, which isn’t a big deal since I have drop ceilings in the basement.
you can buy one of those induction hotplates if you want to try it out
Listen, I used to be the same, gas=best, electric if you had to, but induction changes the game. With a fully efficient pot, you can literally watch water boil, it's that fast. And they're SO MUCH easier to clean!
Very nice! I love darker countertops because they mask spills and I'm messy
