back on the Old Site there was r/195 which was somebody's apartment number and started out with just their friends. then it got popular, was flooded and became hard to moderate; the mods shut it down in what was known as The Experiment. This was the birth of r/196, which thrived before shutting down the second Reddit API shit hit the fan. And so here we are, on Fedi.

It’s like take a penny leave a penny for shitposts.

The main rule was that if you visited the sub you had to post a meme before you left, (obviously unenforceable) but that's why all the posts have "rule" in the title. It ended up being a very queer friendly and fairly horny subreddit, somewhat notoriously so lol

Both the original 195 and the new 196 share a rule

"You must post before you leave"
