Congratulations! You have satisfied the conditions of rule even without knowing what it means.

There is one rule here, that you must post something if you visit.

It comes from a subreddit called r/195. Basically, r/195 was a social experiment where the only rule was that everytime you visited you had to post something. Towards the end of r/195, people began to titlle their posts "rule" because they didn't have anything creative to say in the titles for their shitposts, but it wasn't until r/196 when you started to see most of the posts being titled some variation of "rule".

195 wasn't a social experiment the rule was there just for wackiness

Edit: This was the sticky post before the sub was closed. I also remember a post announcing the end of the sub for the same reasons before it was deleted and the experiment post was stickied, but couldn't find it in the archive. Fyi
