What is this community?
Dull Men's Club
A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.
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 or 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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
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. Not 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.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
A place to post about the mundane things in your life.
Woah boy, this is too eventful for it to be in the dull men's club
I get way too stressed whenever I have family over
The lazy wifes' spice is certainly Ras el-Hanout
Yes, definitely.
But Ras el-Hanout is pretty varied, this variety I got is definitely strong on the cumin and anise.
Sounds like the potato leek soup I make though with more spices. One time the grocery was out of leeks so I used shallots.
Leeks would work well, too.
But spices are key.
You really want a variety of hot, savoury, earthy and sweet flavors in there.
Cause the root veggies are kind of bland by themselves.
My wife makes the best potato soup. She found some recipe for "loaded potato soup" that called for basically all the same stuff you'd put in a good loaded potato and then added her own spin to it.
I offered a bowl to my neighbor and he declined with a weird look, like "why would you ever offer potato soup to somebody?"
I brought him a small bowl anyway. Potato soup topped with sour cream, crispy bacon, and green onions. He said it was the best soup he'd ever had, and he didn't realize potato soup could taste like that.

I'm sorry, friend, but no, she doesn't.
I respectfully disagree and refer you to the evidence below:
Your potato soup: 👍
My wife's potato soup: 👍👍
That sounds great.
Is a clove of garlic one of the "wedges" or the whole papery enchilada? I always forget.
I'm not a native speaker, but I meant 3 toes, not 3 feet.
This is hilariously clear
Got it, thank you!
Your English is excellent, don't worry.
Potato is life. Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew, or make soup.
