MODERATORS
At least 69 is representative of something. 67 is literally meaningless.
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.
Bro we grew up with "-holds up spork-", we cannot comment on what the newgen find meaning in.
So random xD
🥔
69 fucks
Technically speaking, 69 sucks.
And there's the beauty: it does both!

A better comparison would be our 21
21 to me means luck because you won at blackjack.

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.

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?

Gentlemen, there's a solution here you are not seeing . . . 68!
68±1
±1 WHAT ALEX. ±1 WHAT??
1 thou? 1 millimeter? A fucking mile?! WHAT DOES ±1 MEAN YOU FUCKING HACK.
This rant brought to you by a salty machinist and a new engineer.

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.

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.

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
Dont get me started on skibidi toilet!
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
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?
TBF though, the Slop Posting isn't comparable at all. Slop is actual negative value given form.
