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.

Became bored during family gathering. Convinced son to go on a short walk by stating "Perhaps we find some mushrooms". Well... (discuss.tchncs.de)

We had a family gathering to celebrate a Birthday last weekend.
The usual: having barbecue, hanging around, eating cake.

I became really bored in the afternoon and my increasingly sluggish body clearly desired a little walk.

But I didn't like to walk alone, so I tried to get my son to join me, but he thought that idea to be even duller than hanging around in the garden.

So I half jokingly suggested that we might look out for mushrooms to have something more interesting for dinner than just barbecue leftovers.

He was instantly convinced and I was happy to have a walking partner.

But little did I know what had happened in the woods overnight...
Turned out, we not only secured dinner, but next day's lunch on top of it!

Funnily it was me who found the first one without actually looking, a tiny Hexenröhrling growing right in the middle of the road.
After that, we entered a slight dip, which was a little more humid and must have been full of mushrooms in the morning (we saw what the wild boars did to the ground there... still enough left for us!)
