Another case for the jury

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.
69 fucks
Technically speaking, 69 sucks.
And there's the beauty: it does both!
Gentlemen, it both sucks and fucks. If she freaky anyway.
A better comparison would be our 21
21 to me means luck because you won at blackjack.
But that's what its perfect
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 feel so seen! :-P
BTW, 42.
Cant forget the meaning of life and everything.
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.
Gentlemen, there's a solution here you are not seeing . . . 68!
I don't see why 2480035542436830599600990418569171581047399201355367672371710738018221445712183296000000000000000 would be funny...
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.
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.
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 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.
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

TBF though, the Slop Posting isn't comparable at all. Slop is actual negative value given form.
I don't know what "based" means, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
So based
Is this where I say six seven? Am I doing it? Do the kids think I'm cool yet?
