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.

It's good advice.
But it's loo literally a few hundreds gb. And if an image says more than a thousand words, then I'd be here writing until next millenia.
I'm just trying to think that it didn't really have any important pictures even if it had a lot of them.
But yeah, I should probably write down at least what I remember from the past few years. That's a good tip, thank you.
Yeah people usually manage to keep their memories, usually with the aid of people to remember them with or someone to tell the memories to.
I've got neither.
So it sort of feels like even if I have the memories, they're not "real" unless I could show someone. I might as well be inventing shit. So it's sort of depersonalisation I'm feeling I guess.
I didn't even lose everything, just a lot of dumb photos of nothing in particular. But it was like serving as my memory sort of.
Eh. I'll get over it. Maybe.
I just feels like I was just 26, someone hit me over the head with a frying pan and now I'm almost 40. And like that phone could've at least show what I've been doing for all that time.
Eh. Maybe I will remove this post so as not get reminded more of my stupidity.
You're welcome.
Maybe it could be very useful to someone else reading it.
This is true, yeah. And definitely it will be a reminder for me to use better backups.
