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.

Now I understand the hype.

This is something I’ve been wanting to do for years honestly. As you all know, here in America we wipe with cheeseburgers and bald eagles. But I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve heard or read someone extolling the virtues of the bidet, usually from a European or a converted ‘Murcan.

So I finally decided it was time…began reading product reviews, found a brand new one for cheap on an auction site but…I misjudged the fit for my particular toilet. So that one had to go back in the box. Ended up going to a local store for one because I didn’t feel like waiting any longer and I could judge the fit with my own eyes.

Got one, brought it home, installed it, and…well friends I don’t know if buttholes believe in heaven, but if they do mine surely thinks it’s died and gone there. It’s not one of the super luxury models with the remote and smartphone app, but it’s got warm water, a seat warmer, and a warm air dryer. I’m hooked. In fact when I’m at work I now get annoyed that I don’t have access to it.

I now count myself among the converted. I’ve never felt so pampered.

Very important SAFETY warning for those considering bidets: Please look into backflow prevention. If you haven’t set up adequate backflow prevention, the shit can get into the water pipe and contaminate the water that comes out of all the taps on the property. The health risks of this are harrowing for healthy people, not just those more vulnerable.

Are you shitting into the waterline?

The keyword is ‘backflow’.

This seems like a crazy anomaly unless your water main breaks. Also even then, 5 seconds of running a tap would clear this. Do you worry when they open the fire hydrants every spring? Are there any actual reported cases of this happening in the US?

Are you putting your bidet nozzle up your bum?
