Like I saw one that was titled “I wonder why rule” and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.
Why “rule”? What’s the origin of this format?
Afaik it stems from the 196 community, which was a subreddit with only one rule - dont leave without posting something. Posts there had to be titled “Rule” (or at least include the word, Im not sure)
Some people come up with clever ways to work “rule” into the title, but all that’s required is to have it somewhere in the title
I actually don’t know if that’s even required, it’s more the culture. I think the only rule is you have to post if you visit
The rule was never really enforced and it would be kind of wrong to even say it’s an honor system rule.
Basically, the rule just means that a lot of people post memes and there’s not much judginess about meme quality.
I think the 196 community is the originator, though I already didn’t know what they were about when on reddit, I mostly find their posts confusing. From what I understand the (only) rule is that the post title must contain the word rule.
