The original r/196 subreddit had a rule that if you visited the sub, you were required to post a meme before you left. A lot of people tried to follow the rule, but weren't able to come up with a good post title on such short notice, and started just naming their post after that rule. After some time it became a meme in and of itself to include the word "rule" in your post title somehow

Now this is the kind of quality post I subscribe for! None of that played-out "rule" bullshit...
Ironically I posted this meme to c/196 10 hours before it was reposted here.
Months after joining I still cannot decipher the rule thing. Can you please tell me?

It’s from Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan Origin Story
It's from Watchmen, you should read it when you get the chance. It's a classic.
