You know, I kind of miss that part of r/196. Made it feel more like a community. Now it feels kind of... empty? Sounds weird, I know but the lack of a lot of old denizens does show.

Alright so this was a subreddit I'd never heard of until I came over here and this but is pretty intriguing.

But can someone tell me why the fuck y'all put "rule" after all your post titles? Not hating just... confused.

From Sidebar:

Rule: You must post before you leave.

Post titles can sometimes be hard, so "rule" will suffice. Or, you could choose to be only slightly more creative, for example I could write, "Jedediah rule" for this image:

Text reading: someone called the Kentucky Derby "Amish Nascar" and my day hasn't been the same.

It's from the Reddit days, there was a rule that you had to post before leaving so people would title their post rule to signify they were abiding by the rule. It's just carried over there, I find it kind of helpful in determining what sub or community I'm on without having to look at it.
