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.
