An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

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.

I think you got screwed, there's only 3 in that pack!

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Screwed by his sponge daddy 😏

[–] Bell@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Dual-sided. Sounds pretty exciting to me.

[–] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Perhaps I’ll be able to get all the soap out of these.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

sometimes them dishes like it a little rougher.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yikes, these don’t look biodegradable

[–] exothermic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

My first thoughts as well. I’ve been using a cellulose sponge that has shredded coconut husks on one side of it for scrubbing. It’s pretty good, biodegradable, and doesn’t get soft when i need it to be hard.

Either ScrubDaddy or SpongeDaddy would work well as a band name.

The original (the face) is my favorite tool to clean dishes, how do these compare?

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Bought these on the suggestion of my kid. They work great.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 3 points 2 months ago

They're not as good in my opinion. The scrub mommy and scour daddy are the 2 must have ones.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I found that the faces seemed to break down after some time (not much). Did you experience this? I don't think I would try them again based on that.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that's the sign to replace them. I've found they last longer than "normal" sponges still

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But as they're breaking down where does that plastic go?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Same as with other sponges unfortunately, down the drain

[–] amotio@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do you guys use the soft side for something special. I allways use the rough side.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

In general I use the rough side to do a first pass, getting rid of most of the grime, especially the stubborn stuff, rinse then use the soft side to do a second pass and rinse once more.

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Now you need some sponge subs for those really nasty, dirty messes

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The hard side gets harder the colder the water, and softer the warmer it is.
