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.

Where'd you find it? I was looking in the wallymart ahead of a camping trip but couldn't find it.
My Wally World has it. I don’t have a microwave, so I get it pretty regularly.
Obtain raw popping corn kernels. In a medium saucepan with a lid, lay down enough kernels to cover the pan's bottom. Then add just enough oil to cover. Heat on medium-low to medium heat. Make sure to do this with the pan's lid on. Now simply wait for the kernels to pop. Audibly monitor the popping rate of the kernels. When popping slows, remove from heat. Add toppings and serve.
Experiment with different oils. Canola and peanut are good starting points. But even olive oil has its own nice flavor profile to it.
Save yourself some money, learn the skill, and open up an entire universe of popcorn discovery. Try different oils. Try frying in butter. Try using different varieties of popping corn. Experiment with different cooking temperatures and thresholds of completion. A whole world awaits you. Put away the Jiffy-Pop and see what wonders await!
That's all great in its way but sometimes you just want to see that aluminum toque puff up and up
That's so hard bro this way much easier
Yeah, it takes a little bit of effort, but no more time than using jiffy pop. You're paying more, generating a bunch of waste, and not saving any time.
Probably better for you anyway. Microwave popcorn is loaded with PFAS chemicals nowadays. It's put in the liner of the bag.
