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

Let’s see the tip of the band please!
~~If it’s the same loosy-goosy metal catch that’s sort of dangles on a rivet, you’re always going to be 2-3 mm wrong regardless of the precision of the tape itself.~~
Edit: I now know that didnt know how to use a measuring tape and I feel enlightened, relieved and somewhat embarrassed - thanks all for helping learn something new.
That loosy-goosy end is there for a reason: it gives the right reading when hooked on the outside of an object and is pulled out, but also when put on the inside (of a corner, for instance) and is pushed in.
If yours has a fixed one then it's less accurate than any other one with a loose end.
It's loose for a reason. It moves back and forth exactly the thickness of the clip itself.
