    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. 🤣

    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.

    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.

        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.

        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

    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

    Could say the same for:

    Politics.

    Religion.

    Ethnic groups.

    Sport teams.

    Cola preference.

    Cutting some bits off your genitals or not.

    Operaring systems.

      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…

      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.
