196 was originally a subreddit on Reddit that had one rule: If you've visited it, you had to post. It kinda became customary to add 'rule' into the title to explain why you've posted. This then became a meme itself, when people tried to integrate the word into post-related titles. This community is basically just a mirror of the subreddit, so it got passed on.
