When my kid does 6-7 I do the same gesture saying 8-9. It also means nothing and it's bigger, so "I win". Annoys the hell out of them.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 4 points 15 hours ago

"Why was 6 scared of 7? Because 7 8 9."

(that works better spoken, than in text. ... 7 ate 9.)

do it in the voice of the grinch then laugh like they do.

[–] TheDarkestShark@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You must've seen the same video I did. I do the exact thing with the same result.

The whole story of 6 and 7 ain't shit without 7 8 9. You scared bro?

My favorite thing is the boomer anger towards 6-7

"Back in my day, our funni numbers mean something, and we wore onions on our belts, as was the fashion of the time"

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Witnessing the boomerfication of millennials in real time is a trip.

[–] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Nah, still counts. A Boomer is just anybody older than you whom you disagree with.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Even if I try not to be an angry, all-dismissing boomer, I'll fall into the category of try-hard boomer.

Oh well. I'll let the kids have their fun and I'll have mine.

Because they have some meaning (and arguably, value) beyond "a number we choose to be a meme."

The minute enough people knew what 6 7 was, it lost the only value it had: being an inside joke and using it to exclude others not in the know.

[–] StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today 1 points 11 hours ago

It's a lot more like 21 IMHO

JP2GMD (jorking past to get my doritos) (2137 is the gamer number!!!)

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 6 points 19 hours ago (12 children)

It's just that 67 is lame. It's a reference to some video so whatever, but the creepy thing about it is people are expected to laugh uncontrollably when they hear the number. And they do it because they have to do whatever social media demands of them.

The whole 67 thing is cringey.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago

They aren't? It's a kid thing let kids have dumb fun

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I mean well yeah. The other numbers actually have some kind of meaning 67 is just nothing.

42 is objectively the best number since it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
