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.

Contents packed in an old Q-Tip container:

  • 1 Sterile pad, 2 inches by 2 inches
  • About 2 feet of medical tape, flattened out to fit
  • 1 large bandage
  • 2 average size bandages
  • 2 mini bandages
  • 1 Antiseptic towelette
  • 3 Alcohol prep pads
  • 1 packet of triple antibiotic ointment
  • 1 dose packet of aspirin
  • 1 dose packet of acetaminophen
  • 1 dose packet of benadryl
  • 2 chewable pepto bismol tablets
  • 1 packet of BC powder

I think that's everything I put in there anyways, hopefully nobody ever needs to use it, but it's destined to go in our glove box.

Edited because I just added 2 sealed pepto bismol tablets, because why not, they fit neatly in there too.

Edit 2: I added a packet of BC powder. Aside from the typical headache or body pain, they're also good as a fever reducer.

Edit 3: I added 2 additional alcohol prep pads for a total of 3, easy fit.

LMFAO! I hear ya there, but I work on vehicles and ride BMX flatland, not much funny business for me these days.

Though, you do have something of a point, aside from the intended use for a condom, they can also be used for off-label purposes such as transporting water or even in a pinch at least try to half-ass fix a leaking vacuum line or some shit..

I dunno, I might actually consider that, if I can fit anything else in there anyways...

It's not a first-aid thing, more a survival thing, but:

You can blow up a condom very large and use it as a floatie in an emergency.

Yet another interesting alternate use scenario, thanks for sharing 👍
