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 peeled and diced 8 potatoes, 3 onions, a parsnip, 3 cloves of garlic and a thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger.
Put all of it in a pot with 3 table spoons of sunflower oil, and let it braise till the veggies browned a bit.
Then I deglazed it with 200g of crème fraîche, 4 tea spoons of vegetable broth powder, and boiling water till it was all covered.

Added copious amounts of freshly-ground black pepper, nutmeg, turmeric, and something a Moroccan street trader sold to my sister-in-law as "lazy wives' spice" ("you won't need anything else to make your husband happy").

When the potatoes were boiled soft, I blended the soup to a creamy consistency and served it with a dash of Sriracha sauce.

They liked it.
