Rule 55

British Railways Rule 55 is a rule which persisted in the 19th and 20th century. It says that if a locomotive stops on a mainline, it MUST let the signalman be aware of the presence of the train, to prevent serious accidents. This rule is known to be broken in the Thomas & Friends episode "Henry's Forest", which was criticized by Awdry himself for not following the rule.

Rev. W. Awdry: "Henry's driver didn't obey Rule 55, which means that the driver should've warned the signaller! That's unrealistic!"

Prison rules

The philosophy that if you don’t fight, people will just keep fucking with you; An environment, such as a school or work place, where there is little to no supervision, rules aren’t regularly enforced, and/or the only way you get people to leave you alone is by standing up for yourself.

Around here, it’s prison rules.

Rule 50

The rule of the internet (like Rule 34, Rule 63, etc.) which dictates that every fictional work will have a crossover with every other one at some point.

Person 1: Would it be funny if Sparklecare x JToH x Mega Man was a thing?
Person 2: Rule 50, man, rule 50.

Tinder Rule of Two

This term is a universal rule of probability. The rule states that whenever there is a picture on a dating app that contains two girls, with one of them being significantly more attractive than the other, the person whose profile you're swiping is the less attractive of the two.

When I saw Isabella pictures on Tinder I got excited when I thought she was the hot girl on the right....turns out I fell victim to the Tinder Rule of Two.

Rule 49824776541208479028641672843

Time and space is endless, you will never reach the truth. You will stand upon the requiem meant for your will and realize that meaning itself has no meaning. Life isn't life. You are not you. You don't exist. Nothing exists. But that's what makes living so fun. It is to create your own meaning. Live on

Rule 49824776541208479028641672843 is meaningless. Quite ironic
