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.

Pasta salad lasts about 2 or 3 days well, in my opinion. It's a great option one or twice but it doesn't scale well for weeklong meal prepping.

A roster of shelf stable foods to mix up a mono-diet helps immensely. Nothing that takes more than a few minutes or steps--a case of ramen, a box of cereal, and/or some frozen foods keep thing varied and palatable regardless of whatever meal prepping system works out for you. Just as backups when you just don't want another goddamned piece of parmesan-panko-chicken, and so on.

My goto in my younger less reliably incomed days was always hardboiled eggs and dried beans I'd soak overnight and slowcook with onion the next day.
