The exact orgin of the rules is in dispute, some say the chans, some say giai online, sill others something awful. what is agreed upon is that the rules are followed, almost cult like, across the communitys. rules like rule one and rule 14 are heavily enforced. the rules, are of course, modified to adap to the specific community they exist on. example, if one were to find this on a chan, the statment would be similar to "Anon, go and rule 59 yourself; or an hero, which is the pesudo way of asking somone to kill themself

59-Minute Rule 

Refers to the practice of letting employees leave work an hour early. The term derives from the military, where supervisors are often not permitted to let their personnel leave early, but ARE permitted to grant their staff breaks, as long as they are less than 1 hour. On special occasions, a supervisor can work around the prohibition on early excusal by giving the staff a 59-minute break at the very end of the day; thus allowing them to leave about an hour early. The "59-Minute Rule" is often put into effect on the Friday before a three-day weekend.
