That's really good. Serious question: Did you come up with it or is it a quote?

Keep on dabbing my friend. A good dab is a thing to be acknowledged and admired and will never be „out“, no matter what people tell you.

The number 69 has staying power. It was hardly new when it was used in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and that was in 1989, 37 years ago.

How long will 6-7 last? I'm guessing not more than a year. I bet even now it's being included as part of a script for a kids' movie, and by the time the movie comes out the kids will all think it's "cringe" (or whatever term replaces cringe).

Putting Gen Z slang in a movie, especially a bad one, is one of the known ways of killing it overnight.

Putting young-person slang in a movie has been a bad idea since before Gen Z existed.

I never could have seen the day coming when a number could out sell 69....

Are falling for that hoax? Woodstock was staged! And I even have proof of that:

It’s not too crazy. It was replaced by children young enough to not know why 69 is a funny number. Like, they have no reason to laugh at it.

67 doesn't require the horny brain that is needed for 69. It's the same level of amusement but becuase there is no sexual connection it can be understood more widely and also cannot be shamed in silence.

69 made me initially wonder how sexual 67 was and why kids were laughing at another inappropriate sex number.

Learning It's NOT a sex number, and honestly has no meaning at all, puts my non-horny brain firmly on Team 67. It's just a giant innocent in-joke. I love it.

The ingredients for 42 ftw!

Hang on hang on

Has anyone else noticed it says 46th Anniversary, 45th Anniversary, etc? So this photo was taken in 2012, 14 years ago?

The vast majority of the kids that would buy this weren’t even born yet

Well, you can do a shitty photo edit exactly how you want whereas getting AI to perform the same thing would likely be more difficult.

It used to be 69 and photoshop, now it's 6 7 and AI. Guess now we're the elders telling tales from yore.

I used to work for the company that made those cards. One of the best jobs I've ever had, because the manager was cool as fuck.

The children are wrong and I can prove it mathematically.

Hmm, I doublechecked your math and you're right! Write the paper and I cosign! This is going to change the world!

The numbers that are there are 66,68,69 ,70 and 71.
This means the number 67 is sold out.
In the past, the number that would be sold was 69 because it's a sexual euphemism.
Currently, 67 (specifically , 6-7) is a meme amongst young people, so I hear online. I live outside of wherever this meme is happening, and/or my child is too small for memes.

Thus, times are changing.

my 11 year old relative is obsessed with 6-7

it's funny to get them laughing by being overly silly about anything that comes near a time when 6&7 might come into play

My 3 year old is obsessed with it. He'll randomly come up to me, say siiiix seeveeen and then run away giggling to himself.

8

My wife works at an elementary school and keeps doing it, then apologizing and saying she's on autopilot and I believe her. When I see my mother she does it to annoy me as is her right as matriarch. Right when they're done doing it, I'm gonna start omg it is so stupid.

66 has connotation too. That's why I listed the numbers for which I didn't know the connotation.

I mean 69 was a great year. Stonewall, Apollo 11, Woodstock… and that was just the summer

People who are still sad about 69 losing here have no imagination or at least no physiological flexibility
