I gather it’s supposed to mean something (though I don’t see any meaning behind numbers aside from literal counting and measuring), but seriously, what’s up with 67 lately?
From high water pants to butt crack pants and beyond.
Kids being kids. It’ll fade away when they find something else equally stupid.
Not always. Most generations keep the last stupid thing they play with alive most of their lives!
My social circles still quote starwars lines as a joke, which started when the prequels came out 💁♂️
67? Internet meme that I’m too old to get.
69? Hehehehehehe!
68? That’s like 69, except you give her one, and she owes you one.
Hm, I thought 68 was the speed of sex.
Yeah, and 6.9 is something nice broken up by a period
Which just means wait about a week and try again.
I like to think that its a subconscious offshoot of the “why was six afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9” joke for the modern generation showcasing how the current short attention span brain rot humor contrast against previous with all punchline and no buildup.
It is silly shit that middle schoolers say. It means nothing and everything .
It’s just a meme without any deeper meaning. Laugh or ignore and move on.
Oh I ain’t worried about it or anything, just curious really.
Except it’s disrupting some fast food chains that have a menu item #67. For some, it’s possibly costing them revenue and harassing workers. Sadly it’s not something they can necessarily just laugh at or ignore.
It’s not even that. They removed ticket #67, so it goes 66, 68,70 (because they removed 69 also). The order that people place their orders in
Even so, businesses wouldn’t just get rid of something, they’d renumber it
No 69? Not nice
How many restaurants even have 67 or more menu items that you can select by number? This seems like a very niche ‘problem’ for the news to be concerned over
The way I read is that it isn’t (or not only) about menu item number 67, but about order number 67 (i.e. the 67th order since the counter was reset).
The only ones that immediately comes to mind are Chinese restaurants.
This is like the lamest target for a moral panic I’ve ever seen. And I was around for the d&d and video game ones.
Oh no a worker had to listen to a kid make a lame overused joke. Those poor people.
Wow look at you being all smart and clever. The pictures I saw showed a fast food restaurant with a crowd of kids, not just one.
Sorry that was needlessly snipy of me.
It’s just that feels like being exposed to obnoxious social trends is a very minor issue for workers.
We’ve all been there.
The horror. Quick, get me some pearls to clutch.
You can borrow mine…
Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Some of the more recent memes have been very disruptive. Between the McDonald’s Szechuan sauce freak outs and Minecraft’s Chicken Jockey food fights it causes a lot of headaches for the poor people who have to clean up their mess. I’m not aware of any violent reactions to this number yet though.
That’s the only reason I even heard about the whole 67 thing, when it came up on our local news regarding fast food restaurants.
It’s ridiculous, and honestly I feel like I’ve wasted minutes from my life even asking, but hey, now I loosely get it…
It still makes little sense to me, but whatever 🤷
I admit I find it amusing, given what 6x7 is
It means nothing, except that the meaninglessness of it annoys boomers, so the zoomers and alphas keep doing it to annoy the boomers harder. It’s literally that simple
Couldn’t they just change the menu so item 67 is something very high profit margin and not subject to supply problems? Doesn’t seem like a real problem.
It wasn’t the menu item, but rather you’re order #67 in the waitlist to receive your food…
oh, so then it was like a “get” with everyone spamming orders hoping to get that number
I’m not sure if kids were placing orders and then not collecting/paying for them.
My GenZ coworker says it’s a Gen Alpha thing and doesn’t actually mean anything. So the best you’re going to get is someone that can give you more information about how it started, because apparently there is no why, as it appears to be entirely meaningless.
There are a lot of memes in recent years that literally don’t mean anything. They are just statements that young people repeat soley because not repeating it means you’re left out. 6-7 is one such meme.
It’s not really any different from other trends, it’s just that usually you can at least see why a trend caught on to begin with. Thus your confusion.
Something the kids were saying finally reached the ears of their millennial parents and those parents then told wider society because it’s just so cute 🥰
It’s supposed to mean nothing.

tl;dr nothing meaningful. popularized by gen alpha children
Gen Alpha started it, but Xers, millennials and even boomers are trying so hard to capitalize on it. We had a parade in town a week and change ago and there number of city council members and other people with political clout that kept saying it and making the jiggle hands motion was cringeworthy. Local car dealerships are offering oil changes for $67.67 to capitalize on the brain rot. I’ve seen several other “deals” where pricing when from 5.99 to 6.67. There is nothing a capitalist won’t try to take advantage of, no matter how little they understand it.

Its internet brain rot
It’s 2 short of “nice”
it’s 23 Skidoo, it’s eat my shorts, it’s amazeballs with awesomesauce, it’s kilroy was here, it’s and I oop, its yer a wizard Harry, it’s leeeeeeroy jeeeeenkins etc
It’s “one does not simply” invent memes and there’s no boundary to it. It’s the Zeitgeist
