An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

You take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato... baby you got a stew going!

[–] SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Don't forget the fish.

"Universe! you've done it a-gain."

I wonder what your ancestors would say if they saw you buying a stick.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes! And here is the initial layout.

You're going good ! (Also I recognize the Lego Jabba barge behind your tank and see you're a man of taste)

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Thank you! The barge was almost the last Tatooine set needed for a massive display I want to build.

  • barge
  • ucs sandcrawler
  • Mos Eisley cantina
  • landspeeder
  • Lars' homestead kitchen
  • sarlaac pit
  • various official and MOC banthas

I would like the Mos Pelgo MOC and Jabba/Boba's Palace but they can wait.

[–] xav@programming.dev 1 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Great great great. Can't wait to see that.

[–] xav@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Great ! So far I like it.

They're not rocks! They're minerals.

It's not the heat it's the HUMIDITY!

Looks like aquarium gravel so fish tank or terrarium is my guess.

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The stick is making me think reptile

[–] deepfriedchril@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I have a stick in my shrimp tank.

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] tektite@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 month ago

Maybe the stick is the pet!

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

winner!

shrimp tank prep

[–] SirKitBreaker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

For a little rock garden, maybe?

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Someone below guessed shrimp tank correctly.

[–] SchrodingersPat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Please post your aquqscape somewhere when you're finished!

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I posted it elsewhere but the starting layout is going to be this.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This was our first foray into planted tanks.

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What day did you buy these?

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Yesterday.

Oh, how my troubles seemed so far away.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

Today today.
