    When my kid does 6-7 I do the same gesture saying 8-9. It also means nothing and it's bigger, so "I win". Annoys the hell out of them.

    I go with "Ya, 42 right? I love Hitchhiker's guide. You are never going to go wrong with a guy Hitchhikers reference with me.". And then I go for a high-five that never gets returned. This shuts the entire thing down in such an amusing way.

    As I said repeatedly, if a store asks for a phone number for a rewards number, use this with the local area code. You will be surprised how often it works.

    Execute Order 66

    McDonald’s is always a fun time with my friends if that’s our number. No one else bats an eyelid however.

    But Christ when 67 appears 🫩

    42 is objectively the best number since it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

    I mean well yeah. The other numbers actually have some kind of meaning 67 is just nothing.

    I thought 67 thing was slang for 42.

    My favorite thing is the boomer anger towards 6-7

    "Back in my day, our funni numbers mean something, and we wore onions on our belts, as was the fashion of the time"

    Witnessing the boomerfication of millennials in real time is a trip.

    Even if I try not to be an angry, all-dismissing boomer, I'll fall into the category of try-hard boomer.

    Oh well. I'll let the kids have their fun and I'll have mine.

    If you are new to being a boomer, just remember that those youngsters will be standing in the same place you are now. It's inevitable.

    Remember: This is about the long game.

    those youngsters will be standing in the same place you are now.

    If they're lucky enough to get old. If the planet is still someplace you want to grow old.

    I can't believe I'm old enough to remember decent weather. Enjoy hell on earth, kids

    I recently had to go to a building whose address was 6769. I literally wouldn't be able to remember it were it not for that number

    I was in a (synth|dark)wave party last week and the DJ was doing this build up and just before the drop someone screamed (like really loud) SIX SEVEN!!!! and the build up paid with that. Everyone around me was laughing their ass off while dancing. 5/7 would drop 67 again.

    Because they have some meaning (and arguably, value) beyond "a number we choose to be a meme."

    The minute enough people knew what 6 7 was, it lost the only value it had: being an inside joke and using it to exclude others not in the know.

    Humans don't work like that. Geographically, some trends finish in the area they started before they even reach other areas, though the internet has reduced the time lag. But there will be people who get into it before it's a trend, people that get into it because it's a trend, and people who continue to repeat it after it's a trend because they either like it or miss the time when it was a trend. It only dies off as those that hold on to it die off.

    So 6-7 will be with us for a long time, though it's frequency of use could be on a downward trend.

    It's just that 67 is lame. It's a reference to some video so whatever, but the creepy thing about it is people are expected to laugh uncontrollably when they hear the number. And they do it because they have to do whatever social media demands of them.

    The whole 67 thing is cringey.

    No different to 69 or 420.

    I am guessing you don't know what those numbers mean.

    It's in reference to a book and a song or whatever.

    If you need to be reminded then you definitely need to book that exam.

    You're probably too young to know what 69 means I guess based on your responses, let alone ever had the chance to do a 69, so fair enough.

    And I guess weed is much more legal these days than before, so less need for a code number.

    42 is what you were thinking of with your first answer btw, and it's the meaning of everything.

    1337 you might come across if you start coding. 1ts M0r3 0utd4t3d.

    So it's a cringe crass reference.

    Which makes it better than 67 how?

    69?

    Most say it's better because it has a meaning of some sort, even if crass. Kind of how "fuck" has survived hundreds of years because it's based on a meaning.

    I know 67 is funny for it's absurdism in meaninglessness, but it's very likely it'll be a fad that dies for the same reason, as future generations won't give it as funny since it doesn't have meaning. Things like 69, while crass, might still be picked up by an even younger generation, and 420 will probably stick around since it's already been passed on multiple generations. 42? Maybe. It's essentially a scifi trope, so it might stick around too, especially with AI becoming prevalent.

    Nobody goes batshit crazy over 69 or 420 tho. The reaction is just "heh."

    67 would be fine if the reaction to it wasn't so cringey. You're reaction is no exception... you're pretending that "those old people are out of touch and just don't get it!"

    Nah fam, we all completely get everything there is to know about 67. It's a dumb meme, there's nothing else there. 69 and 420 are also dumb memes, and we all know that too.

    67 insists upon itself. It's a really lame thing to attach any significance to.
