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.
My son wanted Mario and my daughter wanted foxes. I thought my solution tying them together was clever, but no one at the party seemed sufficiently impressed.
edit: I should have specified, these are mini sandwiches, not cookies. The colors are from food dye markers.
For when your son wants a Mario party and your daughter wants a Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0 party.
My last job (this year) is still actively developing in VFP. Yeah
This is awesome, definitely pushing the boundaries of dullsters.
Pleasantly surprised that the themes were simply wolves and Mario and not two political dogwhistle codes I wasn't aware of.
but no one at the party seemed sufficiently impressed.
Sorry to hear that. I am impressed. My parents never put that much effort into anything like that for me.
My parents are great, and they did a lot for me, but they didn't put in any extra effort on things like birthdays.
I go all out for my kids' birthdays. Like for my daughter's third birthday, I transformed the house into Elsa's ice palace. I built the exterior out of cardboard and a roll of blue plastic tablecloth, two stories tall, hanging from our indoor balcony. Then I bathed the living in blue light, covered it in snowflake decorations, and turned the AC way down.
It's star fox! Also Nintendo.
Nicely done, just the same.
TIL that food due comes in markers now.
I'd just learned about it too. They were super easy to use. I'm going to have a lot of fun making my kids lunch.
OH. I didn't zoom in and thought they were sugar cookies. Still I could go for some pbj about now
:O
You can make foxes or wolves from stars? The only cookie cutter set I have is also star shapes. This is useful info for me.
I loooveee these! I'd have been so happy if my parents had done this
Post reported: Too cool to be dull.
those foxes look awesome! those people at the party are the real dullsters.
I was looking at the orange one, trying to figure out what it was. Then you said 'fox' and it all came together. Looks exactly like a face. Maybe a small line of icing on the edge of the sugar would help define it?
Is that sugar? It looks like it has the texture of sandwich + food marker
Edit: oop, refreshed the page and saw OP said that’s what it is
Those look amazing. What's in the layer in between?
They're actually PB&J sandwiches. Kids party.
Well there are terrific! Not only are the design very pretty but the use of a single cookie cutter make it very smart.
Butter knife. Cut the two extra angles off, profit.
Plus you get a ton of cookie scraps to eat
I think that's bread not cookies. It looks like they're sandwiches cut into shape.
Mmmm, cookie scrap.
What extra angles? Foxes have ears and whiskers
They look awesome. Well done. I have to ask, because the texture is throwing me off. Are they mini sandwiches or cookies? The closer I look the less sure I am. Well done anyway. I could tell what they were right off the bat.
I just finished decorating a Mario cake last night for my child. It is safely in the freezer well in advance.
They're peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with food dye marker on them.
I was planning to do cookies the same way, but ran out of time.
Cool! What a great idea!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant.
