Dull Men's Club
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 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.
I spend lots of time watching professionals at work.
People like
Cutting Edge Engineering (machinist)
Rain Man Rays Repairs (automotive mechanic)
Yourshire Car Restoration (automotive restoration)
And Bobs Decline (lineman)
I got a whole list of other automotive channels if you need.
The other two that come to mind are
And
But I'm happy to hear of others.
There's also a bunch of hobby machinists I watch, though I've not found many that show day-to-day professional work like CEE does. Maybe Abom79, but he focuses on smaller home projects, not so much industry type stuff.

Decided to learn guitar this year.
Spent the first week of the year watching nothing but Luthiers.
Guess I'm really starting from scratch then.
I love hard work, I could watch it all day.
some of the yard work guys are insane. I literally could watch them all day.
Watch Fat Electrician, he does a lot of history stuff that is well presented and entertaining. Lots of highlighting exceptional members of the military that had plot armor or were the main character. His second channel does highlights of companies like Arizona Iced Tea, Chik-Fil-a, etc.
