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.

Pixel 8, 2 or 3 years old, got a pink line on one side of the screen. Used it like that before I thought about repair, and it turns out my phone was valid for an extended warranty.

Drove an hour to my easiest repair centre, got it done with zero required documentation I spent hours trying to get an I'm now the happy owner of a shiny new screen.

I wish i could have saved the petrol money and fixed it myself, but at least I got a £175-ish repair done for free, and a fresh warranty on the screen to boot!

Oh wow, I got my phone replaced too! Except the new replacement is having battery issues already. I had the phone shut off without warning around 10% and just today I had the phone drop from 9% to 0 in the span of a few minutes. Had to work without my music :/

I dont know what to do now. My warranty expires on the 25th and I spent so long in hell/purgatory trying to get FedEx to just properly deliver my phone too for 5 days straight. The driver wouldn't knock and would just leave a note instantly. Had to spend an hour on the phone just to get them to hold the package.

Ugh I didn't think getting my phone replacement would be this difficult and involved. I'm stressed over it. Don't buy a foldable phone, the screen protector peels after a year or so and the screen ends up getting damaged if you don't replace the screen protector in time...
