I feel so seen! :-P
BTW, 42.
Cant forget the meaning of life and everything.
I don’t know what “based” means, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.
It’s the opposite of “cringe”
Hardly, the use of based this way is cringe.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/based
(Internet slang, originally 4chan slang) Admirable for rejecting political correctness or socially progressive values. Synonym: unwoke based and redpilled My last account got banned for being too based.
well that’s what it originally meant
I’ve mostly seen it referring to other things, sometimes non-political things and sometimes political things but as a positive statement about something progressive
So based
Is this where I say six seven? Am I doing it? Do the kids think I’m cool yet?
Another case for the jury
e
At least 69 is representative of something. 67 is literally meaningless.
Bro we grew up with “-holds up spork-”, we cannot comment on what the newgen find meaning in.
So random xD
🥔
It’s literally not, you just don’t know what it means.
10-67 means something.
The 67 meme literally means nothing. It’s not even referencing the code, or the song it originally went viral to which was referencing the police code.
Carefully observe how the above argument lacks any supporting argument or information.
Curious.

Right there after a 30 second search
When asked by Complex[7] about the meaning of the numbers, Skrilla said, “Everybody else got their own different meaning. But for me, it’s just ‘negative to positive.’ It helped me turn from a negative person to a positive person.”
In a comment to the Wall Street Journal[11] from the same timeframe, he also said, “I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to … That’s why everybody keeps saying it.”
So it’s a number repeated in a song that the artist says has no meaning, instead of it just being a meaningless number.
Glad you helped clear that up. Way to prove everyone wrong.
I would argue that it has an origin but lost its meaning since the people who use it don’t know the meaning. At this point, it’s more than anything a cultural signifier which isn’t a new thing either. People try to belong to an ingroup and adopt their insider even if only as marker of that group.
But do they know why six was afraid of seven?
Because seven ate nine
Classic
But that’s why its perfect
So you’re saying 67 is the better meme?
No
69 fucks
Technically speaking, 69 sucks.
And there’s the beauty: it does both!
Gentlemen, it both sucks and fucks. If she freaky anyway.
69 stands for S in Sex. (Point each end of the 6 and 9 kinda looks like cursive s)
Pretty sure it just comes from the fact that two dudes laying on their side to blow each other at the same time just resembles the number 69 when viewed from above.
67 is very meaningful to Cantonese people
right @[email protected]?
Hell yeah. It’s pronounced similarly to 碌柒, which is a swear that means “dumbass”.
XKCD made me aware of the fact that this sorta joke has been going on since way before any of us were born. 23 skidoo is an old trendy phrase that’s made up of two jokes that mean nothing definable on their own
Today’s 67 is 1899’s 23
From the XKCD alt text:
In 1899, people were walking around shouting `23’ at each other and laughing, and confused reporters were writing articles trving to figure out what it meant.
A better comparison would be our 21
That still makes more sense to me at least. Unless I am missing some great context about 67
A kid said 67 badly
That is it?
21 to me means luck because you won at blackjack.
TBF though, the Slop Posting isn’t comparable at all. Slop is actual negative value given form.

Wait, I didn’t get this one
It’s not a calculator thing. It’s an old instant messaging thing that spells PIMP.
Oh!
I love the fact that I never turned into this guy that hates the new stuff. I wasn’t hating fidget spinners when everybody hated them, I liked Fortnite, I think skibidi toilet is fun and such. But just as I didn’t like some trends when I was young myself (e.g. I never wanted to join the Gangnam style dance), I do find it disappointing that 67 is so popular, because I loved the fact that 69 is funny because of sex.
Atleast 69 had a context. 67 literally was a kid spurting out a random number.
I just kinda assumed it was a mix of memes “why was 66 afraid of 67? Cuz 67 68 69” Ba-dum-cha
But I mean, the same is true with E. It was a random letter. And there have been other random funny numbers. I just don’t like it because it “hurts” 69’s status of the funny number xD
Im with you on this. I’m in my mid-40s but I work with a lot of 19-25 year olds so I am still exposed to a lot of current memes/slang/whatever. There’s only been a couple that I thought were absolutely stupid.
69 > 67
As a dad who tries to connect with his kids, I made a 67 reference last week. Their response: “Oh Dad, 67 is old now.” Kids these days can’t even commit to the bit. 🤣
You made it old when you said it. Could you imagine your own parents making 420 jokes?
I’ve referenced it a few times in the past and they didn’t complain. Oh well.
Dont get me started on skibidi toilet!
Our glorious Gmod videos
Their horrible SFM animations
I legit enjoy it and think it’s a fun commentary on legacy vs contemporary media.
Skibidi toilet is shockingly well made.
I grew up on source film maker slop but I will take the opportunity to hate on the corporatisation of SFM shitposts. Why the fuck is there skibidi toilet merch? A movie? What the fuck, are they going to make a movie based on Shrekophone? Fucking fuck I want off this ride
Could say the same for:
Politics.
Religion.
Ethnic groups.
Sport teams.
Cola preference.
Cutting some bits off your genitals or not.
Operaring systems.
Humans are a hoot, huh?
Politics at its root is ideals about how to structure society though. It does, however, devolve into a team sports mentality in a lot of cases, which is I think what you’re getting at.
Yea, several of those things have actual qualitative and quantitative measurements on which they can be compared, but far be it from the common dingdong to think in such lofty terms…
The first three things you brought up are the concepts literally criticised by the unedited original cartoon.
Ok, and I’ve never seen that.
Wait, who the hell is pro genital mutilation!?
… Oh wait, Jews do circumcision… siiiiigghhhh
(I’m also aware some areas of India/middle east do FGM too, but I don’t remember if it’s for anything close to religous reasons)
Circumcision happens all over. It’s popular in the US, Africa, and Middle east especially.
Getting roasted because people don’t want their dingdong cut off… +1 for accuracy though.
Yeah, right? Because saying something exists and showing evidence makes me a terrible person somehow?
Most Christians in the US.
Throws up a little in my mouth.
… Thanks, I wanted to taste breakfast again!
Not only Jews, also US Christians for some reason.
There is a point where random noises become a song. Disposability of culture is, to my eye, a novelty that hasn’t yet reached the point of becoming a song. It’s just random noises, and I want to silence them with a heavy pipe to the throat

This is why I cannot dislike the 67 meme. I don’t actively like it or anything but we have our own funny number and there were 42 as well and 21 for a while.
There are definitely things to criticize about the new generation, I am not denying that, but finding a number amusing is too inoffensive for me to care.
6 x 7 = 42
Mind blown
How is 21 funny?
What’s 9 plus 10?
19?
Or 910 or 109?
Lol ok that’s pretty good
Was quite a big meme back when it first went viral. I am pretty sure the original comment meant this meme for 21.
I hope that kids doing alright.
21!
It’s half the answer
I always wondered when I’d stop being the one being hated by adults and start being the one hating kids. I always wondered what it would be that I “didn’t get”. I thought, I’m tech savvy. I don’t know in what way I would be left behind by future generations. I could not have predicted this.
so it’s fun. turns out, you just keep being hated by everyone
Yay
