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.

Moved my kitchen cabinets and found this catalog shoved between cabinets and the wall. Early 60s house, US, California
Why would you want to throw dust on your garden, let alone want it so badly that you need a dedicated machine to do it?
Dispensing pesticide aka dusting. Like crop dusting
Ah, I understand
Seems like a great way to die horribly fifteen years later. Or if you hate your family maybe.
Well, there are reasons why the average life expectancy went up over the last decades. People back then just didn't give a fuck about a lot of things.
To keep the midgets living there from getting eaten by insects or deer.
Please. They're called "little people garden dusters."
"Mildew King" sounds like a boss in Dark Souls / Elden Ring / etc.
I redid a room recently, and found that this brick wall behind the wood was lined with nazi propaganda from ww2 as insulation. Yes, my house is much older than that.
This old idea of dumping horrible chemicals everywhere is why I can only grow food out of containers. See: https://youtu.be/Hll_BoVK03A
Is it for small gardens though?
Is that a Jackson & Perkins catalog? Had a rose-crazy gardener of an aunt eons ago and she swore by them. Cool find!
Yea it is
