I don’t know what everyone means when they use ‘rule’ in the title and at this point I’m too afraid to ask. Please enlighten me.
That’s because the “rule” of !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone is to “post before you leave”… That creates a lot of random posts that all have some kind of “rule” in the title. Sometimes these posts get popular and you see them in your feed.
For the curious, the original was actually /r/195 on Reddit. It started as a joke between some college roommates, in dorm room number 195. Then it eventually got popular as a sort of shitposting community. But the original 195 was basically unmoderated (because it was just a couple of dudes in college who started it for shiggles,) and was eventually brigaded and taken over by alt-right neonazis. The memes quickly devolved into straight up Nazi propaganda.
So 196 was created as a sort of “new” 195, and that original brigade and subsequent takeover is why a lot of the 196 memes tend to lean hard left. The 196 sub was sort of a rebellion against the 195 takeover, which means that conservative stuff quickly got shut down. It eventually became a sort of safe space for transgender memes as a result. From there it became a sort of self-sustaining reaction where trans people saw it as safe so more trans people gravitated towards it.
“I’m afraid to ask” is such a werid thing to say on the internet. Nobody knows you. Just ask.
Why does it hurt when I pee?
Oh god, you probably got the gonocacococcus
They got it from the toilet seat
But he did ask, which is why it’s even stupider.
someone can be afraid to do something and still do it
Just what were you touching that you ran out of touches? You need to see a doctor. Here, see a doctor:
Now all these f*ing zoomers are telling me that I’m out of touch!?
Oh yea? Well, your fucking phones are poisoning your minds, ok?
So when you develop a dissociative mental disorder in your late 20s don’t come crawling back to me.
