Yes, the Internet has rules. They might not be what you may think and they certainly aren’t all totally accurate[1]. Depending on whom you ask, they are either not meant to be taken seriously or are very srs bsns[2] indeed.

The Rules of the Internet[3] were originally numbered one to over NINE THOUSAAAAAND[4] (sort of) of which only a few now remain in the zeitgeist such as the infamous Rule 34[5]: "No matter what it is, it is somebody's porn fetish. No exceptions". Attempting to invoke an exception will lead to Rule 35[6]: “The very act of pointing out that porn of something does not exist will inspire someone to make porn of it”. Rule 63[7] states that "For every given female character, there is a male version of that character" and vice versa.

Two more that are often quoted are Rule 29: “In the Internet, all girls are men and all kids are undercover FBI agents”, and Rule 30[8]: “There are no girls on the Internet.” The last one, unlike most of the others, may not necessarily be entirely factual. But it pays to be sceptical[9].
