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 isn't an 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 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.

Hair conditioner shower mistake had less negative consequences than I thought (piefed.zip)

Yesterday I took a shower. I thought I'd try a tip I read about brushing conditioner through my hair with a hairbrush during the shower. I meant to put a reasonable amount of conditioner in the brush, but accidentally put way too much. (Nearing the end of the bottle, at the point where just squeezing produces nothing unless I had the bottle upside down. So I'd been leaving the bottle upside down so I could get conditioner out, and forgot how fast it would come out in this instance.) I brushed anyways, figuring my hair would look all greasy when it dried from way too much product.

Nope. It looks normal. And now instead of smelling like nothing as is normal for me, it smells nice like the conditioner. Not too strong, I only just noticed this the day after the shower, as my hair came near my face and I caught a whiff of it (and immediately came to post the story on !dullsters@dullsters.net). I still have the negative consequence of wasted conditioner, but at least my hair smells nice now and it isn't greasy-looking as I feared.

Probably relevant that my hair is long, so still a decent length to distribute product throughout.

Fun fact, you can also put some perfume in your hair. At least arab barbers like to do that. Yes, even guys can have hair that smells nice. It may seem like a feminine thing here in the West, but when a bearded guy puts flowery perfume in his beard and hair, who am I to judge?

This is how my kids condition their hair actually. I taught them to apply conditioner, then brush once it was slippery to help detangled. But they sort of evolved the process into just putting the conditioner on the brush.
