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
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.

Ok, I kinda want to share my x-ray of my resorbed tooth. Mine was way in the back, though.
It had been a minute since I'd been to the dentist. Probably two years. The hygenist who took the x-ray asked if "that back tooth had been bothering you." And I was like "uh... not really? Should it be?"
I didn't get to see the x-ray until the dentist showed me. He said that a) it wasn't because I didn't brush/floss/whatever b) just looking at the tooth, with his eyes, it looked like a perfectly healthy tooth - only the x-ray revealed any problem c) it was either caused by COVID or it was a complete fluke d) it wasn't terribly unusual for resorptions to be asymptomatic for a good while e) I was absolutely going to lose that tooth and there was no fixing it f) if I had to lose a tooth, that's probably the tooth you'd least mind losing g) it would be about three months before the oral surgeon would be able to actually do the extraction h) by the time I actually got it extracted, I'd really want it out.
He was right on all counts so far as I can tell. The extraction was quite a relief. I ate a lot of liverwurst for a week or two after. Heh.
Never heard of this before, unexpectedly fascinating.
