Conservatives when something harmless is popular: “This needs to be criminalised”.
This just in: adults don’t get kids’ memes. More news at 11.
I think it’s all fascinating, how adults flip out over kids’ trends every generation, without fail, without ever recalling that they followed silly fads/memes when they were kids, too. Like the “cool S” from the 90s.
I remember adults coming up with all sorts of absurd ideas, straining to connect it to something meaningful, failing to acknowledge that… it’s just a fun thing to draw. And if it’s fun, that’s all kids need. It didn’t mean we were in a cult, or that it’s a gang symbol, or any other ridiculous narrative. Some teachers got so annoyed or suspicious as to ban it from their classrooms, too.
I’m not bothered by 6-7. I’m not excited by it like kids are, but I get that it’s fun for them in a way that it isn’t for adults. One of the kids I work with said it the other day. I just laughed and told him, “Congrats on learning your first meme.”
If it wasn’t 6-7, it would’ve been something else. There’s no point in fighting it - just as other fads and memes have come and gone, this too will fade someday. Possibly to be replaced with something more obnoxious. We’ll have to wait and see.
Exactly. Do I find it annoying? No, but if I interacted with children much I probably would. Kids are annoying, but stuff like this is culturally valuable because it’s them practicing growing and changing culture. Things that annoy the old people like us are also part of how teenagers get us to leave them alone so they can grow up in peace. From there younger and younger kids copy older kids because that’s how kids work. Then eventually the parents and teachers that understand kids will get in on it poorly when they’re well and truly sick of it.
Hell, every once in a while the kids get into something good, though it’s usually music or books.
Is no one going to point out that he’s clearly joking?
Poe’s law literally doesn’t exist in an administration calling fonts woke. Fuck “couch fucker” JD, he isn’t allowed to joke.
I like it slightly more now.
I have autistic kindergarteners that picked it up and it’s become one of their favorite scripts. Kind of annoying but I didn’t really care that much. Knowing it annoys this little freak though? Gotta say I’m warming up to it.
I wasn’t aware of the benefits of using it. I will use it in my reports going forward. Tbh that’s adorable your little one has a favorite font.
I’m sorry I’m confused. I mean script as in scripting as in the form of Delayed Echolalia where an autistic person will like repeat a phrase they’ve heard before usually entirely divorced from the context or use of the original. They heard the phrase “6 7” and it’s become something they just repeat randomly. Not like a font.
Get them to use calibri since that font is too woke for the government.
Maybe that’s what the person above was alluding to? I don’t know, that’s the best guess I’ve got. I didn’t catch anything font related from your original comment but it could be a language thing.
Edit: or an autocorrect ;)
Oh thank you for reminding me about the Calibri thing. My teenager will be thrilled to learn that and incorporate it into every one of cleverly disguised shitposts he calls school assignments for the sole reason that it would bother the Chuds that currently occupy the Federal Government.
ehhh 6 7
I feel like 6-7 is just another version of the made you look hand gesture.
The kids still do this too
We still play this at work.
There it is! I was just saying we had something like this back in the day.
Hah got 'em.
Being mad at something kids do is the saddest thing ever. Let them yell their numbers and move on to the next thing.
Genuinely have no idea what 67 means and if I wait a year until they tire of it then I won’t have to learn.
It dosen’t mean anything. Asking what that mean if what reveal that you’re not in the know.
I think it started as a sports thing. But you’re right. It’s gonna burn itself out quickly.
It’s a meme of a meme of a meme. Some guy was making YouTube shorts about a rap song about a basketball player that plays like he’s 6’7" even though he’s 6’2".
The kids do it just because of the short and it being goofy shit with the hand movements and funny looking characters. The YouTuber was memeing because the song was about one of the Ball brothers.
It literally means nothing. Just kids being silly.
Watch South Park then you’ll surely get it
Well we are woke Arabic numbers.
And 6x7 is 42, so now every generation can be happy.
Makes even more sense when you consider how they say it as “six seven” not “sixty seven” so it would imply notational (6)(7).
This is my response as well.
he’d probably ban 69 too
His wife already did, along with a lot of other stuff.
That’s alright he’s trading down to Erica “sex is only for reproduction” Kirk. So he’ll just have to 69 the couch.
Does the ban count for 69ing with BarcaLoungers?
yes because the notion that jd vance would ever give is bonkers
68 missing out on all the fun by being a normal number and not subject to memes.
To day I learned that 6 7 is the police code for non-consensual sex with a couch.
69 butt with backrest and seat
Nobody has to take shit from a furniture fucker with a orange mustache stain.
Imagine the smell.
Oh, man. That looks really soft.
And dry. And coarse. And very humiliating.
Pussy Throat! These Russian agents are really going the Deep Throat route…
“Pussy throat” is too wordy. I suggest we call it his “thrunt.”
But how will we know his IQ now?
