#12I think once you are features in a guardian article, you arent dull anymore. Building model airplanes in a shed is dull. Being so good at building them that journalists take time to visit you is not.
I don’t think building model airplanes is dull. I’d say doom scrolling and para-social behavior are the modern dull things
This is pretty true. Brilliance is marked at many levels by not doing what everyone else does, after all.
It's also marked by doing what other people do better than they do.
Lonerly contrarianism is not a cornerstone of brilliance.

#13Aw man, this sounded like just my kind of place. But... > It’s a sentiment eagerly embraced by The Dull Men’s Club. Several million members in a number of connected Facebook groups strive to cause dullness in others on a daily basis. Apparently I'm too dull to even have a FB account. I know it's a bit tongue in cheek, but in the name of maximum dullness, something with UX closer to this site seems much more appropria…
I guess this explains my affinity for nocss.club

#14One of my most favorite places in nearby oregon is the community of Boring, OR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring,_Oregon. Exceptionally lovely place. I've yet to visit it's sister town of Dull in Scotland, but I hope someday to remedy that, albeit with measured levels of excitement

#15Reminds me of the proof that all natural numbers are interesting. If there is some set of uninteresting natural numbers, there must be a minimal element of that set. It being the smallest uninteresting number is interesting which is a contradiction.

#16> The over or under toilet paper debate raged (politely) for two and a half weeks.
i found this particularly confusing because we all know that “over” is the only sane choice.

#17if you're interested in the opposite, finding the intrigue or fascinating in the seemingly mundane, you might be a candidate for the RR&R. The most recent topic was an elaborate history of a Oklahoma state senator based on some old telegrams found in a junk shop.

Only if you don't have cats. If you have cats, "under" is the only sane choice.

#20The Dull Men's Club group of facebook is actually oddly interesting. I would classify it more as a group who point out the very small oddities of every day life that are not very interesting. There is a post where someone saw two geese with 42 bay geese, another where the rental company fixed a door with a piece of pool noodle. Its more like a "huh that's kind of weird I guess" group.
It's a bit like reading this site...
