Rule 34 is an internet maxim that states: "If it exists, there is porn of it.

No
exceptions." It originated from a comic posted on the website Zoom-Out by artist
Peter Morley-Souter in 2003. The comic depicted a girl asking her brother if there
was "porn of this" (referring to a seemingly innocent phrase), to which he
responded with the now-famous rule. This rule quickly spread throughout internet
forums and communities, becoming a facet of internet culture.

The origins of Rule 34 can be traced back to the early days of internet communities
and forums, where users would frequently make humorous or absurd observations about
online content. Rule 34 itself gained popularity due to its provocative and
sometimes humorous implications about the abundance of adult material on the
internet.

Over time, Rule 34 has become a widely recognized and referenced aspect of internet
culture, often cited in discussions about the vastness and diversity of online
content. It has inspired countless memes, jokes, and even academic discussions
about internet phenomena and human behavior in digital spaces. Despite its origins
in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner, Rule 34 has endured as a reflection of the
expansive and sometimes unpredictable nature of internet content creation and
consumption.
