A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.

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 or advice forum.
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, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

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. Not 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.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

I boiled two eggs. I would have boiled more eggs, but when I asked if anyone else wanted boiled eggs, they said they did not want boiled eggs. (lemmy.ml)

What’s your process? I like to put the eggs in the pot first. Then I bring it to the sink and cover them with cold water. I put it on the stove and heat it up on high. When it boils I put the lid on and turn the heat off, and set a timer for 11 minutes. Now you may be thinking that’s way too hard, but the temperature is dropping without heat. Yolk is just barely solid in the center. Then I chill them with cold water and dry them off while they’re still warm, and put them in the fridge.

I figured out how to boil farm fresh eggs that peel easily. Bring water to boil, let eggs warm up on the counter. Once boiling put the eggs gently into the pot with a spoon. Bring back to a boil, cover pot, turn off heat, and let sit for 15 minutes for medium or 18 minutes for hard. While waiting, fill a big bowl with ice and water. Once eggs are done, spoon them immediately into ice water bath. They’re done when they’re cool to the touch.
