The real meaning:
a plausible explanation with an excellent linguistic deep dive on the entire vernacular terrain.
TYVM for the link.
I was coming to post this
It means that the ultimate question to life, the universe, and everything is what is 6 times 7
I see you had a functional scrabble bag to pull from.
what is six times nine, canonically
Five four.
four two.
Except Arthur Dent wasn’t descended from the original hominids of Earth, but rather the useless humans who came from another planet, so the question was corrupted in his mind.
Eek! There’s mice on the table!
Yeah, Arthur definitely did not have the great question in him.
I mean the entirety of the planet earth is supposed to calculate that. Would you expect a stick of RAM to be able to do what a complete computer can?
Also, the planet was infected by a virus. Its processes got corrupted, so of course the output is bad.
Its from rap its referring to a 1067 some guy boasting about killing someone
Yep, it’s from Doot Doot, by Skrilla, and made its way from rap, to basketball (meaning to coldly score against someone or out perform them)… And now white people are saying it thinking it just means nothing because the internet is kooky.
Hell yeah, 106.7 kroq!

Wow, theres a subgenius word I haven’t heard in a long time.
Did SubGenius use it? It definitely started as Discordian.
That’s true, I forgot that as well. By the time I was seeing it in the 90s it was embedded with the Subgenus guys (which overlaps pretty heavily with Discordianism IMO) so that’s who I always associate it with. But forgot it was earlier/separate.
I assumed it was a why is 6 afraid of 7 thing.
Because 7 is a registered 6 offender.
It may not mean anything, but I was able to find out its origin, which was good enough for me.
And…?
there are some theories, behind the number, mostly that the kids who are chanting it in the original video, there was a tall basketball player before the camera panned to them and it might hint at a connection at the height of the player (that being 6ft 7ins)
In Philadelphia,
Which is the town the rapper Skrilla is from,
The police department uses many of the same “10-codes” in their radio communications as many other law enforcement agencies.A 10-67 is used to signal that a dead body has been found or that a probable fatality is being investigated on scene.
The kids who are parroting it don’t know what Skrilla meant when he was saying 67…
But what he was implying with that lyric is that the police just found a body and that he may be responsible for it.
Akin to boasting: “hear that radio call just now on the police scanner? I’m the one who merc’d that sucka. Remember that, and don’t fuck with me.”
wtf.
It’s from this song apparently. It’s at around 1:45 if the psychic damage gets to be too much
The moment you’re talking about was one of the incidents that helped memify it though
yeah i forgot to mention the song. but the basketball game was what memed it.
I feel like this just shows how far brainrot has gotten
67 is my favorite current meme.
My understanding: It means the opposite of 42. And it gets funnier every time someone is baffled by it.
From what I understand, it’s a reference to a hip hop song that got popular on tick tock that has 67 mentioned in it because that is the police code for body found
The artist apparently denied that he meant that at all. Sounds like it might’ve originally had something to do with a basketball player’s height, but it was only the inspiration aurally and didn’t end up being a part of the meaning in the song.
I mean I went and listened to the track. It sounds pretty clearly like that’s what he means
I’m just going by what the guy said.
Yeah guessing his lawyer advised him lol
Plausible deniability.
I really haven’t seen any 67 memes on Lemmy. Am I missing something?
A connection to young people
Sounds weird when you say it like that
The freshest memes are in shortform video content, not here.
Not a lemmy meme. It’s kids these days.
As foretold by those Summerian clay tablets, those goshdarned kids in these days!
only time i see it when people are having this conversation
Yup. I keep encountering it, but I’ve only ever encountered it in the context of old people going “I don’t understand what these young people are talking about!” seemingly having passed into the “I don’t remember what being a child was like” stage of their lives.
There was a hyper local meta ironic uni-punchline my small friend group used back in the mid 90s.
It would be hilariously used for anything, even if it didn’t make any sense.
Ex: Mom: ‘Why aren’t the leaves racked?’
Teens in chorus: ‘Because the man sat on the toilet!’
That was the answer for just about everything until college, and no, none of us have experienced success.
This meme is like a Rosetta stone for genz communication
That rings true… because I don’t know what half of it means. :-P

I lost my faith in the “new word” committee for ‘Big Dictionary’.
They don’t decide what a new word is, just document usage. And if it gets used enough, well…
