Its purely a 196 thing, but there is plenty of good content coming from this place so you see it a lot. Its not even a rule but anyways. Rule.

What is the origin of the 196?

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

IIRC, 195 was an apartment number or something and some roommates made /r/195 and to shitpost in, which inexplicably became super popular. Eventually the sub got overrun by some trolls or something, so there was an exodus to /r/196.
