The 2% rule is a reference measurement noting the relative amount smarter you need to be (or think) to be able to pull off a particular task.
Frequently used as a gentle insult or to point out someone's apparent stupidity, usually in direct reference to a task said person is presently trying to accomplish. Typically but not limited to involving the use or inability to use a piece of technology.

Person 1: I can't get my phone to upload this picture I just took of myself to Myspace.
Person 2: 2% rule.
or
Drunk guy 1 (after having a few more drinks): That dude doesn't look so tough anymore. I'm gonna kick his a$$ now.
Less drunk guy 2: That last shot dropped you down to 1%.
Drunk guy 1 (slurring): Wait, whut?

First two rules of an infamous site on the Internetz. They both mean that you're not allowed to talk about the site. Ironically, rules 1 and 2 have become a defining feature of the site, essentially making them useless whenever cited.

1. You do not talk about /b/.
2. You DO NOT talk about /b/.
What everyone forgets is that they only apply when said site raids another site.

Q: How do I get matches on Tinder?
A: Follow rule 1 and 2.
(other example);
YOU MATCHED WITH KATIE ON 8/12/22;
Chad: Yoor bootyfull
Katie: All these other guys are trying to demonstrate their grasp of written English in their first message to me, but not you. You're different. I like you
Bob: Chad, how the fuck did that pickup line work?
Chad: Rule 1 and 2...
A: Follow rule 1 and 2.

Part of the "rules of the internet", made in early 2006 by someone in the /b/ section of 4chan who fancies the site a secret underground.
Due to the /b/ section being overrun with users from sites such as Gaia Online and MySpace, these rules were accepted, and more people took part in the illusion that 4chan is a SUPAR SECRAT CLOBHAUS. Despite the fact that these two rules state that you shouldn't talk about /b/, some people will cite "RULES 1 AND 2!!" every time 4chan (or even a meme) is mentioned outside of the site.
Thankfully, this vermin of stupidity remains contained in /b/, so people who cite rules 1 and 2 in other boards are bound to get flamed and hopefully banned.
