What's with "rule" being in titles?
What's with "rule" being in titles?
I've noticed a lot of posts that have the word "rule" added to it even when it doesn't seem to make sense. Sometimes I've even seen titles with only the word "rule". Anyone know what it's about?
You're viewing a single thread.
There was a community on the old site called 196, where the only “rule” was that you had to post something before leaving. It leaked over here because of a few splinter communities here popping up on the All feed, but if you look closer most of those posts will be to various 196 communities.
In other words, it’s not actually an enforceable rule, just one of those social things that pop up.
What does the 196 refer to?
It’s an evolution of 195 - a sub created by roommates in the same dorm (room 195) to share memes with one another that ended up exploding. I believe there’s also 197 and maybe others created in the same vein.
Huh, so thats where the number comes from. I had no idea
