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.

I have a 2014 Volkswagen Touran. The Touran isn’t even a particularly big vehicle - it’s built on the same chassis as a Golf. On a long solo drive today, it occurred to me that the car has a ludicrous amount of cup holders.

I have the 7 seat variant, with two fold-down seats in the boot. There are 15 cup holders in total:

2 in the glovebox lid. 

1 in the driver’s door. 

1 in the passenger door. 

3 in the centre console at the front. 

2 flip-out ones in the centre console at the rear. 

1 in the rear passenger side door. 

1 in the rear driver’s side door. 

1 in the rear passenger side tray table. 

1 in the rear driver’s side tray table. 

2 above the rear wheels for the boot passengers. 

Bearing in mind the only cup holders accessible to the two rear-most passengers are the ones above the rear wheels, there are 13 cup holders for the 5 other passengers. I’m not sure what to think about this .

That’s kind of good that they could blend all of those into the design.

I suppose I’m thinking of it not in terms of “look at how many cup holders” but instead “if someone needs a cup holder they always have one available.”
