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.

I bought one just to check equipment after I've run it all day. Checking the baler and combine for bad bearings periodically will hopefully prevent an expensive fire.

Coolest thing to look at is running tap water, switch from hot to cold

The water coming out of the shower head or faucet when it’s warm enough to be comfortable, but not so hot that it’s scalding.

I would have endless amounts of fun with this

I really wish this was how the thermometer on the pixel phones worked, I'd actually use it then.

I mean it's nice not having to keep track of a dedicated thermometer, but it's such a hastle to use.

Write "HI" with sunscreen on your chest and take a pic of your shirtless self with the heat camera

Wouldn't that work for a UV camera, not an IR camera?

As an armchair scientist .... I have no idea what I'm talking about ... but you're probably right.

Check for the cabels and outlets to see if there is anything wrong with the electrics in your home

Pixel8 has a thermometer built in.

Shit. Now I want an 8. It'd help me figure out where the drafts are coming from in the house
