sure, so 196 refers to a sub called r/196, in reference to r/195, which had one rule only: if you visit, you must post something before you leave.
it was called r/196 after it's predecessor got a bit... spicy. 195 was a sub that skewed slightly left of center, but had a hard time keeping 195 clear of hate speech etc etc, and so they shut it down. r/196 was made, which skews further left as a result of this. since 195 was a general posting sub, some of the audience had a tough time accepting every 2nd meme post with a side of politics, some ended up getting banned quickly, and in reaction they made subs like r/197
r/195 itself was called r/195 because it was the house number of creator of the sub at that time.

that's about it, if anyone else knows better, correct me if i'm wrong :)
