The existence of the 6-7 meme indicates the calculations on the question are nearing completion and the Vogons are on their way

Sorry to be pedantic, but wouldn't this be the correct line:

cat mum (making faces): that means 6 7 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything!

42 is the answer

So long and thanks for all the fish!

42 / 2 is 21

ITS ALL CONNECTED

Isn't that actually canon though? Cause the first book says the answer to the life, universe, and everything is 42, but then what is the question? And I think in the second book they answer that the question is 6x7

Edit: I was wrong, its actually 6x9. Which means Litterbox Comics only read the first book and is a poser and a fake fan. Probably only watched the movie sigh /s

In my defense of failing to remember the correct question, it has been awhile since I read the books.

I'm out of the loop. The 42 reference I get, but the 67 reference I don't. Please release me from my suffering.

6+7=13

13!

It's everywhere!

Oh no...

The 6 7 meme has now done three things:

1. Not only has It has evolved it's chimera-ed with another meme (42) which is a much older meme with a lot of resilience.

2. This chimera of the two memes is an intergenerational mix between those that grew up and read/listened/watched Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and the Ticktok generation. This now means that this meme is no longer just something one generation "gets" it's crossed the boundary and both can now enjoy it for the coincidence.

3. The intergenerational conversation can now go like this:

"6 7 "(gestures with hands)

"(Sigh) Yes... But do you know what's 6 x 7?"

(Uses calculator app) " ...42?"

"42! The answer to life, the universe, and everything!"

"What?"

"Look it up."

(*Searches and reads) "Oh... Woah, that's crazy."

"Yeah... Woah"

I fear that 6 7 is a meme that will now last much longer than expected.

Still, it might generate some new Douglas Adams readers, which is a good thing.

67?

Is this some new Gen-Alpha-Speak that I'm too (Older-)Gen-Z to understand?

I knew it had relation to 42! I just got the how wrong!

It's funny that Arthur even suggests "What's 6 times 7?" as the ultimate question. At least in the movie. It's been a while since I read the books.

I'm sorry, I don't accept multiplication from any base other than base 13.

!!!

I never saw the connection!

If nothing else, I have a bunch of brats to introduce to some great literature! Uncle Nerd Powers Activated!

Holy shit.

6-7= -1

Guys it's -1!!

IT ALL TIES BACK

This was the first place my mind went when I found out about 6 7

Love the new facial expressions! Perhaps she has been influenced a bit by merrivius' elf comic?

Avocato?

Reminds me of when I said in school "some people put even things like 6x7 into their calculate" which was intended as an indirect 42 joke and someone said "it's 42" as a joke, not realizing it really is

42 is the answer to like, the universe and everything.

"What is 6*7?" is the question.

Part of why I left Imgur was to escape these shitty, unfunny comics.

I hate that they're now starting to infect Lemmy! What do you people like about these "Litter Box" comics so much? Why are they fucking everywhere? I just don't get it.
