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.

The old one was looking kinda sad. I'll keep it around for extra dirty cleaning jobs though.

put the sponge in the dishwasher when you run a load

Yeah, some people find that helps with the smell. My sponge was falling apart and irredeemably dirty.

I cut a corner off the old sponges, like they do for passports.

It means I don't attempt to clean dishes with the ones that have been used for cleaning floors, toilets, etc.

[–] lettruthout@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh, that makes sense. I may start doing that too.

How old was the sponge? We blow through one or two a month.

(We cook more than most, and none of the cookware can go in the dishwasher.)

I guess I‘m dull at dishwashing too - mine last a couple of months.
