    Once, there was a Reddit sub called 195 that was just named after the dorm number of the roommates who founded it. It got bigger than they intended and they shut it down, so 196 was made.

    The only rule of 196 is to post before you leave, which is why most of the posts say “rule”.

        Ie if a 196 post shows up, and you enter it, you’re now supposed to add a post to 196

        I believe the original “rule” is relayed to a whiteboard on the dorm room door

        You put something on it when you left, drew a picture, added to it.

        The rule was “post before you leave”

        Ie take a penny/leave a penny
