What's up with memes suffixed with "rule"? - eviltoast

Like I saw one that was titled “I wonder why rule” and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why “rule”? What’s the origin of this format?

    Spot on

    Just to add some clarification as well: users are encouraged to use the word “rule” somewhere in their post (see first sentence of the stickied thread on their page)

    So it’s not a trend, but an intrinsic part of the community

      I was like “What stickied thread?” Apparently if your sort is set to Top (time limit), you won’t see stickied threads unless they were created within that time. (I’ve been using Top 6 Hours.)
