What is “196”?
It was a meme community on Reddit, but I don't know the origin. Seems to have a lot of non-binary folks in here, so I'm still wondering why reddit thought it applied to me, but they had some good memes over there.
It is a spinoff of 195. 195 had a rule where you had to post before leaving, and most of the posts were people pasting their clipboard, usually a screenshot. 196 is supposed to be similar I think but is mostly just people posting memes and has a specific subculture.
Further down the rabbit hole… what’s “195”?
