Dino Nuggets or circles, diamonds, and boot thingy.
Strips and tendies are acceptable too.
6 🤷🏽♂️ 7
Be a lot cheaper to manufacture “69” nuggets. Pick the right font and you’d only need one shape
Just call em Quotes and make em 6’s
You may ask why not 9s? Well it’s because 7 8 9
You’re buying shaped chicken nuggets. You’ve already surrendered your dignity. There are no “Heroes of Civil Rights” chicken nuggets…
Hum, look like 69 nuggets with a bunch of L for loser nuggets thrown in for the kids.
Burn it all down.
I had to double check and make sure that wasn’t the exact image I took this weekend at Aldi and shared with a couple of friends (it wasn’t). Real friends don’t steal karma that would rightfully have been mine. My kids would have died from extreme eye rolling trauma if I had brought those home from the store.
Y’all just haters, 67 is just another example of one generation finding and creating their own internet humor, then having every other generation bash on them for it.
Sure it’s a bit cringey, but let the kids have their fun. Internet humor doesn’t have to be so gatekeepy. We had things like 21 from vine and 2+2 is 4. If you look further than number based memes, then there’s been a bunch of nonsensical memes like 🅱️
I was at a gathering and someone who is an English teacher said “yeah the 6 7 is so annoying but I can’t complain much; the entire maths department is in great distress.” I couldn’t help myself but the deadpan tone of the delivery just absolutely floored me.
Boomer millennials are just upset they’re being reminded of how old and out of touch they are
I think I can shed light on the 6 7 hate. To do so though, I need to cover why people are okay with the others. 420 and 69 have been around for ages so they get a pass for being grandfathered and having transgressive origins. Quick maths (2+2 is 4, minus 1 that’s 3) got its fame for being an incredibly stupid thing to say in the middle of a rap while also simultaneously going way too hard for how silly it sounds. Lastly you have 21, which was a vine meme so again, a more grounded and community based origin.
What makes 6 7 stand out is that it’s from the British school system, and British culture sucks.
I rest my case.
I, a mid fifties uncle, dropped a 6 7 reference to my sister whilst my teenaged niece was nearby and got a laugh out of her. Worth it. Embrace the cringe.
I’m genuinely surprised it annoys anyone tbh, it’s just a couple of numbers. I laugh when my kids catch me and be as cringey as I can with it at every opportunity. Good harmless fun I can exploit for years to come.
Is the Corporate whoring they cringe at id wager
I forgot to specify but I meant it in the context of the thread. Corporate adoption of memes is never it.
For them,
23 skidoo ol chap!
I thought the fun of six seven was getting everyone else to bash them for it.
I was informed this is over.
If it wasn’t, it is now.
I want to see more meme food, it’ll be a social experiment.
Finally, corpos are adopting the meme. They will make it cringe enough to kill it off while milking the corpse dry.
But the brilliant part is that they aren’t selling this shit to kids, they are selling it to parents and there’s an extra dynamic of parent trying to make kid happy and kid probably picking up on that and acting happy to please the parent, resulting in the parent buying it more times when neither of them really care about it.
It’s insidious and reminds me of those car commercials where they are marketing “a new car will make your teenagers want to spend time with the family instead of their friends” instead of trying to sell the car itself.
Is that really a plot line in car commercials these days? I’ve got to see some examples because that’s pretty crazy
No idea about these days as I don’t watch ads these days, but I do remember some minivan or SUV commercials like that back in the 00s and fresh enough off being a teenager that I knew it didn’t work like that (or for the ones that would, they were probably already still engaged with the family without needing a new car).
Lemmy fights back:
On a related but backwards note:
Is that why the brand name is “Soulless Kitchen”?
I firmly believe you can judge a society by the annual sales of Uncrustables.
Have you tried Uncrustables?
They aight but I have also never had one heated up
How dare these kids have a meme number. They should only love my meme number.
This is exactly why it’s objectively a stupid meme. 69 and 420 are funny because they are subversive. If you saw those numbers you know it was culture because the boomer mainstream wouldn’t be marketing sex and drugs to kids, at least not this directly.
It is subvertive, just against the 420/69 culture. It’s an anti-joke that only works because 69 was already a huge meme. You’re too close to the source material to appreciate that their joke number is at least as good as ours. Plus bonus points because it serves the function of trolling older people in retaliation for all the vague “you’ll understand when you’re older” they probably got each time they asked about why older people thought 420 or 69 was funny.
The kids are alright. I don’t expect them to solve this shit any better than we did, but I expect that there will be some pretty good memes as humanity barrels closer to extinction, collapse, or serfdom (or some combination of those).
“Our counterculture is subversive to subversive counterculture and submits to corporate overlords” isn’t that complicated, but is totally on brand for the iPad generation.
Isn’t it a gen alpha thing? Not sure any of them are out of high school yet, so I’ll forgive them for not recognizing that large parts of what they probably don’t even spend much time thinking about could be considered submitting to corporate overlords by others who are paying more attention and have been around longer.
Sure, things can be stupid and ignorant at the same time.
Is it really that deep? It’s basically just a self-propelling thing from what I understand it’s funny because it’s funny and you say it because you say it and if you’re exposed to enough eventually you will catch the Mind virus, or at least that’s what happened to me
I think it is but doesn’t have to be for everyone. This is just my interpretation of the deep lore behind it but not everyone knows or cares about the deep lore.
