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.
It’s always seemed so wholesome to me how the trans folks are such a huge part of what makes that sub awesome but also it’s not a “trans sub”, so you get all these people there for the memes also experiencing fully normalized transness
to have a dorm room 195 seems implausible. it implies at least 95 rooms on one floor
In the Netherlands I saw some building were, instead of having a street number-flat number, the building had all the numbers listed on them. So, if the building had 100 houses, the street number for the building would be 150-249, and the next street number would be 250.
It’s possible they had a similar system.
Or building 1, section/floor 9, room 5. I’m in an apartment that has four digits, but that doesn’t mean there are over 1000 apartments in the complex. It simply means they follow a standard numbering scheme to make finding the specific apartments easier.
Interesting. Number schema come in many colors. I use 20240315 format to prefix dated files
What if I visit the community/magazine without posting? How do they know?
Is it really worth the risk?
Straight to hell. To the boiler room of hell. All the way down.
Santa puts you on the naughty list.

Just what were you touching that you ran out of touches? You need to see a doctor. Here, see a doctor:
“I’m afraid to ask” is such a werid thing to say on the internet. Nobody knows you. Just ask.
But he did ask, which is why it’s even stupider.
someone can be afraid to do something and still do it
Yes they can, but the use of ‘too afraid to ask’ implies they won’t or can’t do it.
Yeah, language is rarely that literal, deal with it.
I’m dealing with it fine, I just said it’s stupid. You don’t seem to be dealing too well though so perhaps you should look inward at your ability to ‘deal with it’.
Lol. No you.
You’re a little bitch
Time to go down to the Grampy Store and get you your official belt onion.
As was the style at the time.
