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
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've found that kids' games should accomplish as many of these as possible:
Sounds like you found a game that does all 4. Congrats!
Spot on! I'd only add that it's key to give them some control over the situation. Let them feel they're making choices that have consequences and they'll fart around all day. :)
60/70 years from now: "man, I miss my uncle, he was such a good man." 🥺
So he's Rick Rolling you???
That sounds fun
When you introduce him to Arch in the very near future, be sure to explain logrotate
Oh this is so helpful, I had no idea this existed
I've seen logs at work do this but didn't know it was a built in feature.
I bet I can guess what distro you use, btw
It's Slackware, for the record.
You can be damn sure that kids learning Arch. I usually just pressure children into installing Mint, but I know his dad and that kids going to be grepping before he’s in double digits.
Did you win?
I think he did: Entertaining a child while laying on the floor seems like a win to me.
Lmaoo good point
It's funny because little kids don't have much of an attention span for most things....but then they'll randomly get sucked into one activity and not get bored of it for such a prolonged period of time.
Wrap yourself up in something sticky and get him to roll your around your non carpeted floors, get some cleaning and fun in.
