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.

What's the point of raking leaves?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

If you have sparse leaves, by all means leave them.

My yard gets hella leaves. Too many leaves. This kills the grass unless dealt with.

I live in the woods. Critters have tons of places nearby to thrive.

I'm not arguing against it, just never bothered to do it, while living out of the city, at most clear up a walkway a bit while walking. 😄

Yes! They are called leaves for a reason.

Right? If you wait long enough they'll just blow into someone else's yard.

Protect the lawn, let bugs hang out and develop (apparently fireflies like lawn leaves).

Bugs means spiders therefore rake the leafs until there's no bugs

Don't rake leaves, fallen leaves are an improvement part of the ecosystem.

They house bees!

When I had leaves, I'd just mow them up and leave them.
