An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

Why is that so impressive? Those things are like three bites at most and NOT filling

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can really taste the bees! I think, I don't quite know what beeswax is.

I thought that was honey. Plus, there's also royal jelly?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I think bees wax is bee shit. You're thinking of bee puke

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

mmmmmmmmm....cherry chapstick.......

And they give my colon the lubrication it needs to poop.

[–] henchman2019@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have NEVER accomplished this. They're either lost or ran through the dryer to destroy a load of clothes.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've never had it destroy a load of clothes. It's a tiny amount of mostly Vaseline.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 1 month ago

Or beeswax, in the case of Burt's Bees.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

You call that finished?! It’s just getting started. Get your finger down in there and dig out the rest. Another several weeks of soft lips await you.

[ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED] - Responsible Chapsticker

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's easy I left a tube of chapstick in the car once and I was able to use the entire thing without opening it.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

If I do that here in the south, it just melts in the summer. Constantly buying new ones in the summertime because I take them inside to not melt, then forget them at home.

[–] gasgiant@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

I thought this place was supposed to be dull.

The rare exciting news of a finished Chapstick (rather than lost, wrecked in the washing machine, etc ..) is certainly not dull!

I'm going to go and reorganise my screw boxes to calm down a bit.

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Damn, only time I accomplished this was when i lost and found it multiple times. Bit like bic lighters

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I am about to finish my third tube of Aquaphor branded lip balm. It’s the only brand I have done this with

Not OP but i have also unlocked this achievement.
Step 1: Use it.
Step 2: don't lose it.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Can you teach this skill to my gf please? She constantly has around 3 in rotation and keeps needing to swap in new ones because they just disappear.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Surely this is a sign of the coming apocalypse.

[–] filtoid@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Does it still taste as good at the end as the beginning?

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Hell has officially frozen over.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Counterpoint: that's burt's bees (bee's?) lip balm, thus so far chapstick still has never been successfully conquered.

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This is right up there with running a pen out of ink.

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I have five or six on the go. Can't tell if I've ever lost one. Win-win!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

There should be some sort of title bestowed upon people that make this accomplishment .... beautifully done, I am in awe.

[–] brlemworld@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I do this all the time
