Nobody has to take shit from a furniture fucker with a orange mustache stain.
Oh, man. That looks really soft.
Pussy Throat! These Russian agents are really going the Deep Throat route...
To day I learned that 6 7 is the police code for non-consensual sex with a couch.
And 6x7 is 42, so now every generation can be happy.
When we were kids all of our viral trends at least had an origin story.
Like that one where Marilyn manson removed some ribs so he could fuck his couch better.
he'd probably ban 69 too
His wife already did, along with a lot of other stuff.
Does the ban count for 69ing with BarcaLoungers?
68 missing out on all the fun by being a normal number and not subject to memes.

I feel like 6-7 is just another version of the made you look hand gesture.
It's the best meme I've ever heard now. Watch me put it 6 7 times in every comment.
... Wait no. I can't if you're watching.
This just in: adults don’t get kids’ memes. More news at 11.
I think it’s all fascinating, how adults flip out over kids’ trends every generation, without fail, without ever recalling that they followed silly fads/memes when they were kids, too. Like the “cool S” from the 90s.
I remember adults coming up with all sorts of absurd ideas, straining to connect it to something meaningful, failing to acknowledge that… it’s just a fun thing to draw. And if it’s fun, that’s all kids need. It didn’t mean we were in a cult, or that it’s a gang symbol, or any other ridiculous narrative. Some teachers got so annoyed or suspicious as to ban it from their classrooms, too.
I’m not bothered by 6-7. I’m not excited by it like kids are, but I get that it’s fun for them in a way that it isn’t for adults. One of the kids I work with said it the other day. I just laughed and told him, “Congrats on learning your first meme.”
If it wasn’t 6-7, it would’ve been something else. There’s no point in fighting it - just as other fads and memes have come and gone, this too will fade someday. Possibly to be replaced with something more obnoxious. We’ll have to wait and see.
Exactly. Do I find it annoying? No, but if I interacted with children much I probably would. Kids are annoying, but stuff like this is culturally valuable because it's them practicing growing and changing culture. Things that annoy the old people like us are also part of how teenagers get us to leave them alone so they can grow up in peace. From there younger and younger kids copy older kids because that's how kids work. Then eventually the parents and teachers that understand kids will get in on it poorly when they're well and truly sick of it.
Hell, every once in a while the kids get into something good, though it's usually music or books.
Funny. I'm from the seventies and when we were daydreaming back then about the year 2025.... we saw people flying around in transparent bubbles, living in full harmony in futuristic scifi buildings... Who could have thought we would be thrown back in time almost perfectly similar to the nazi regime of the Germans and dangerous idiots like that Orange Satan and its dog Fence being "chosen" as the most important people of a country... It's devolution.
I vote for recolonisation. This one has failed.
So Americans should now count 65, 66, 68, 69? At least this is in line with measuring things with non-metric units.
Fuck the metric system,
the USA is going to base8.
24 is the highest number
"Oh no, a number, that's threatening the greatness of the US and we must act immediately!"
- Some couch fucker, probably
Why do we care what the vice president thinks? Shouldn't he be meeting with a ladies book club or attending a donor's funeral somewhere? Is he just spouting crap and waiting and hoping for someone's death?
I am speechless, how can it all be so absurd. How do they come up with even more stupid ideas than before every single day.
I still don't get what 67 refers to. I missed it'd orgin story!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA is worth the 15 minutes, but the TL;DW is that the kids are just using it as an in-joke marker (i.e. the phrase is a shibboleth), but its origin is in lyrics* by the rapper Skrilla referring to police codes for a dead body.
* are rapped words lyrics?
- are rapped words lyrics?
Yes.
Just as an aside, most police codes aren't really standardized across different agencies.
There's a handful of 10-codes that are pretty much universal, like "10-4"
67 isn't one of those codes. A lot of departments do use it for a report of a death
But it's also commonly used to advise of an important incoming message
And other agencies may have other uses for it
And other agencies use other systems besides 10 codes, I believe some departments in CA have been known to use penal code numbers
But so because of that, there's been a big movement in emergency service to use plain language over codes for the last decade or two, mostly since Katrina since different agencies using different codes lead to a lot of miscommunication there.
I work in 911 dispatch, at my agency and pretty much everywhere around me it's all plain language. One or two 10-codes linger around, more as informal slang than anything that gets official use. 10-4 sometimes gets used, but that's practically just part of the English language now.
10-96 also kind of lingers around in my agency, which in the set of 10-codes they used before I started was for a subject with mental health issues. We're not really supposed to use it but no one has really come up with a better shorthand for it so it still pops up from time to time, mostly from our officers.
Interesting stuff, thanks for writing it up.
I did know that US codes weren't standardised, partially because the video covers it - perhaps I should have phrased it as "a police code" to be more technically correct. Edit: or bothered to check the video so could have written "Philadelphia police code" - but then I would have missed out on your reply.
Funnily enough, I actually work in an agency that's very close to Philly and deal with my counterparts in the city fairly regularly.
I don't get (or want) to listen to a whole lot of PPD radio chatter, we have plenty in our own county to keep us busy, so I don't know for certain if they're actually still using 10-codes or any other similar system or not. I can't think of any time I've heard a Philly officer or dispatcher use one with me, but it's certainly possible that they're still in use there internally.
Also even though we're using plain language, there's still some weird miscommunication that happens.
I remember one time needing to advise Philly of a report of gunshots we received that might have been relevant to them, it was near their border.
So I called over to their dispatch and advised them that "we received a report of shots fired in the area of..."
Which kind of sent their dispatcher into a bit of a tizzy because in Philly dispatch lingo "shots fire" basically means an officer has fired their gun, but to us it's just any report of gunshots (which, more often than not, means fireworks or something that the caller mistook for gunshots)
Sounds like perhaps unified codes would be the answer to that problem!
It is and it isn't
Certain things absolutely need to be standardized
But in other cases it can just kind of bog things down.
I remember one training thing we had to do to keep our certifications up to date, part of it had to do with fire dispatch.
And at the beginning of that, our instructor basically said "Almost nothing in this course is at all relevant to us. But it's a national standard and we have to teach this to you"
It had a lot to do with wildland firefighting and some other specific situations that have nothing to do with how things operate in our area or with the kinds of situations we deal with.
It was interesting, I learned some fun facts, but I haven't yet had any reason to use any of the knowledge I picked up from that training.
And that time could have probably been better spent doing something else.
In Philly (where the song 6-7 originated comes from and the code being referenced) a 72 hour involuntary mental health hold is a 302 (and then 303/304 if the hold is extended beyond 72hrs). 5150 is a California code, I think, but it’s def not national
A 302 can actually be up to 120 hours
303 is up to 20 days
304 is 90
There's also a 305, which I believe is up to 180
And technically a 306, but that has to do with transferring involuntary commitment patients to another facility or something.
Like I said in another comment I work in PA and my wife happens to work at a psych hospital so I get to hear all about this stuff.
Well I’ll be damned.
I also work in pa and while I do outpatient now I worked in inpatient for years. Whoops! To be fair it’s been years since I did hospital stuff and admissions was never my deal. I couldn’t remember the longer ones for the life of me. I could’ve sworn 302 was 72, but you’re definitely right
All good, I always feel like it's 72 hours, and I think the equivalent in most states is only 72 I think we're the odd one out on that, and I feel like in most cases patients managed to get stabilized enough to be discharged after the 72 hours.
I kind of feel like the extra two days are mostly so there's time to get everything set up for a 303 in case the patient tries to fight it and it goes to court. I had to be a witness for that over a call I took once, I only got like a day or two's notice because it all has to happen on such a condensed timeline
are rapped words lyrics?
Of course they are...?
Genuinely have no idea what 67 means and if I wait a year until they tire of it then I won't have to learn.
It dosen't mean anything. Asking what that mean if what reveal that you're not in the know.
I think it started as a sports thing. But you're right. It's gonna burn itself out quickly.
It's a meme of a meme of a meme. Some guy was making YouTube shorts about a rap song about a basketball player that plays like he's 6'7" even though he's 6'2".
The kids do it just because of the short and it being goofy shit with the hand movements and funny looking characters. The YouTuber was memeing because the song was about one of the Ball brothers.
It literally means nothing. Just kids being silly.
I was mildly annoyed by them, but now I think it's time we go full tilt on them.
That was my number in high school football.
Party of personal freedom and free speech y'all
I for one believe people should have the freedom to be annoying.
Man seriously. Kids are always going to have some inside joke/nonsense they'll use as a way to separate themselves. 67 I believe is on the nonsense side after watching a language Jones video about it. But let kids be kids. I'm sure we had some dumb shit we did back then. Just there weren't cameras everywhere live streaming us being idiots.
Hell I'm young enough my generation's stupid shit was posted to the internet. We yoloed and had rage comics about le epic bacon, as we asked what the fox says and sang about Friday and calling us maybe, and now it's cringe but it's also good memories of our youth. Hell that doesn't even touch on the hell that was the homestuck kids (who are now adults, many even have ok taste now). And it all happened right here on the devil's own internet. It's still up as Tumblr likes to dredge up from time to time.
Someday 67 will be that for the kids these days. And more will come. Some may be like rickrolling and become classic, but in a less omnipresent form, while others will be like homestuck and be weirdly influential on future culture when you look at how terrible it is in retrospect. But it's theirs to do.
whassuuuuuuup
I don't like the couch fucker either, but you do realize that's a joke, right?
It’s cause he doesn’t get it. It confuses him.
America is one step away from reimplementing Editor’s Law.
Conservatives when something harmless is popular: "This needs to be criminalised".
Thats right, were moving to an octal system. Skip from 5 straight to 8 from now on!
Is no one going to point out that he's clearly joking?
Poe's law literally doesn't exist in an administration calling fonts woke. Fuck "couch fucker" JD, he isn't allowed to joke.
Motherfucker thinks he's the dictator of Turkmenistan, coming up with weird laws.
Why don't you guys get some meaningful fucking work done improving the lives of your constituents instead of hating on memes for kids?
Man and I thought imperial was nonsensical before. Octals gonna be really hard to explain in the future.
