I bought these reusable glass straws from Aldi. I threw out the packaging and I was wondering if anyone knew if they are made of borosilicate glass?
I wanted to use it in hot coffee but after reading about certain years of Pyrex exploding due to the change in materials used to make them, I was curious about the straws. I know hot coffee isn’t going to be near oven temps but I rather err on the side of caution.
I do love these though, esp that it is easy to clean.

Walked away from my Stanley for a minute and someone priced it and it was in a lady’s cart. That lady really thought she came up. My son was like that’s my mom’s cup. She had a whole attitude like I found it. And yes it still had my ice cold drink in it. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Probably too dull for this group but this is my third free chocolate chip cookie today. I had a dentist appointment this morning and when I was finished, they offered me a chocolate chip cookie.

Afterwards, to avoid going to work I went to Panera and found I had a free cookie coupon. Why not? I'll have two cookies

Id forgot that a couple weeks ago my workplace scheduled jersey Mike's catering and in the box, low and behold: Another free Chocolate chip cookie

Will update again if I receive another free cookie from a different source

Photo I took of Boulby Mine, North Yorkshire, North-East England. Known to locals as Potash (i.e. “my brother works down Potash”) as it used to mainly mine that for fertilizer but since 2016 polyhalite mining commenced. It is the deepest mine in Great Britain, going down 1400 metres. It has an underground laboratory which is the UK’s deepest science laboratory at 1100 metres below ground. The mine extends several kilometers under the North Sea, with its network of underground roads totaling around 1,000 kilometers.
It’s just inland from Boulby cliffs, which standing at 203 metres make them the highest on the east coast of England.
Anyway I was telling a couple of lambs this information and they thought it was so dull that they’d rather urinate on my bike...

Today after 13 years, I quit my job in the aerospace composite industry. I guess you could say things got dull in my world. This was my resignation letter. They say do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The blatant disrespect the new owners have shown not only myself but other employees as well, could no longer be tolerated. Tuesday I start a new job making significantly more money. Male, 40, size 9.5. No banana for scale.

I have been in hospital for almost 2 weeks now, and they decided today to give me some compression stockings.
Much to my surprise, they are a lovely green, as opposed to the standard white ones.
I must say this was the most perfectly dull thing for me today and has brightened my mood significantly.

Strawberry for scale as I do not like bananas.

I am a dull man, and I have dull chores. I carefully organise the spice rack in alphabetical order, I meticulously untangle the garden hose after every use, and I fold the laundry with military precision even though it’s all mostly just my T-shirts, underwear and socks.

But the job I find the dullest, the most soul-draining, the Everest of tedium, is brushing my German Shepherd.

Even though my latest is a short-haired one we rescued 2 years ago, he sheds as if he’s training to be a woolly mammoth.

Despite brushing him a few times a week, I do a big deep-clean brush once a month.

This morning, Dougal had his monthly intense brushing, and as I gathered up enough loose fur to construct a second dog, I wondered, yet again, what I could actually do with it.

1> I could make my own pillows with a matching duvet ("comforter" for our American friends)

2> Start an artisanal line of German Shepherd wigs for bald Chihuahuas

3> Open a luxury boutique selling "100% Organic German Shepherd Wool" scarves

4> Knit myself a full-body dog hair suit, so Dougal can finally see what it feels like to be covered in his own fluff

Alas, I have never acted on these geni-ass ideas.

I once ran them by my wife, and she stared at me in silence for a solid ten seconds before calmly asking if I sustained a recent head injury.

So instead, I just brush and vacuum them up.

Again.

As someone who has been on the planet for over 45 years, I now seem to have reached that age where I often get the urge to impart my knowledge upon others. I often do this without being asked, much to my wife’s chagrin.

I shall do so thus: Instead of risking an expensive fracture to a windscreen by using boiling water - which then later freezes on the ground, or using lots of chemicals to defrost one’s vehicle, I fill up a Zip-locking bag with warm water from the tap and the ice melts like magic.

Safe travels.

My sons came to find me saying one of them had smashed a plate on the lounge.

What I found was WAY more interesting.

One of them had thrown a Nintendo Switch game case at the other, who was holding the plate.

When I collected the pieces, I found that the plate had shattered from the edge almost perfectly symmetrically! 🔥🤓

I got super excited and don’t know where else to post.

Parked in the supermarket. Came back 30 minutes later and the car on the right was parked next to me.

Same car. Same colour. One number off.

While attending a blues festival in Kent last weekend I observed what is, without doubt, the most potentially catastrophic toilet seat defect I have ever seen.

As pressure was placed on the seat the crack would open and upon standing it would snap shut. Luckily I recognised the danger and protected the relevant items as I mounted and dismounted.

Male, 51, banana was kept well away for safety.

This most undull thing happened.
I noticed a swamp smell emanating from my fridge for several days, though I couldn’t fathom why. My fridge was recently divested of anything smelly, vegetabally, or old.
Then I saw two bean-sprouts, only I don’t buy or eat those. To my utter amazement I found a small undull frog, who, by calculations had been there for the same three days it smelled swampy.
The undull frog was stretched out, dried out, and mostly stuck to the glass. I picked it up to throw it away, gagging the whole time, but I noticed the faintest heartbeat.
This undull frog was also undead.
Do I want a frog? No. But “life finds a way” - thanks Jurassic Park. And who am I to stomp out that life after it’s managed to live for three days in a cold refrigerator.
I put it in a bowl with slightly tepid water to provide comfort as it slipped its mortal coils. (Are frogs mortal? They aren’t immortal so I guess so.)
And to my utter amazement over the next four hours, it rehydrated and pulled in three of its four legs. The last leg looked like it was going to atrophy. Then more undull amazement as the last leg pulled up and worked!
I took the bowl outside so this undead, undull frog could see the sunshine. I pondered whether I should release him because I’m pretty sure it’s an invasive frog. He looked at me; I looked at him. Then this undead, undull frog fully grasped my reticence to release him, and sprang forth from the bowl into the great beyond.
My mind-reading undead undull frog might be immortal after all ! Size 9 women’s, no banana cuz I’m a recovering banana addict.

My Mrs asked me this evening 'why are you taking a banana upstairs?'
'For scale' I replied.
Judging by her expression, I realise that may be strange to people unaware of our dull group.

For almost a year now small white pieces of textily-paper have sporadically appeared on the bedroom floor with no pattern or obvious reason.
Initially a full mouse hunt began but we had a cat at the time, so we discounted that. He would've found something. There was also no droppings from possible rodent.

The next suspect was the curtains. Possibly a layer between the fabric breaking down?
Nope. No layer between the fabrics.

Maybe the bed frame? Nope, wrong colour.

Maybe the ceiling? Nope, no missing pieces.

So today the largest piece so far appeared accompanied with more tiny pieces.

I will monitor the situation. Surely whatever it is will eventually all end up on the floor and we will notice something missing.

Banana for scale.

Edit: I have cleaned in, around and under the radiator. I can confirm it's not coming from that.

Well my dull husband thinks I’m an immoral driver. I disagree 🤬

There is one big roundabout of which left turn lane towards London get so busy depends on the timing of the day.

When it’s looooong queue (of which many try to cut in last moment which is naughty IMO) I go out to the right lane, turn all the way around the roundabout and take priority (see my poor pucture 🥸).

It was the first time hubby was sitting on passenger seat when I used this method and he was totally appalled.

As far as I’m concerned I’m not against any Highway Code!?

10 years - gone in a flash.

For 10 years, this tank supplied the propane to brew my beers and cook my food.
On the surface, this post may just appear to be about an expired propane tank but it’s far more than that.

When I bought this tank back in 2014 and learned that it would expire at the end of 2024, I didn’t think much of it. 10 years? That’s like…a decade. I’ll have this thing forever.

In the last 10 years, I’ve switched up career paths, bought a house, got married, and became a father of a beautiful daughter. When you’re young, all the “geezers” tell you time flies the older you get. Ain’t that the truth?

When I brought my tank to the local hardware store for the last time, it hit me. 10 years flew by. I vividly remember buying this tank like it was yesterday. How? How has it already been 10 years?

My fear is that the next 10 years is going to go by even faster. My daughter will lose interest in the simple things she adores now and will probably want to spend more time with her friends rather than her mom and me. My parents will continue to grow old and my dog will likely not be around anymore.

My new tank expires in 2035 and i hope the next 10 years takes its sweet time.

Silly post but damn, time flies and it can be pro-painful to dwell on.

M, 34, no banana today

Very proud that I have raised a new future member of this group.. my lad heard that two books with the pages interlocked couldn’t be pulled apart and instead of taking this as fact he sat there and carefully folded the pages alternatively so he could test it for himself.

He did of course find out that indeed they cannot be pulled apart and I now have two books I can no longer read as i’m not about to sit there and unfold every page 😕

I found this in my wife's bedside drawer the other day and I can't for the life of me work out what it is for. She said she thinks it is some sort of hotel room door hanger, but I don't think she's right. So, I thought this would be the place to find out.
It looks pretty dull. Any ideas?
Didn't have a banana for scale, but I do have a small carrot. M - shoe size 6.5
