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.

It may not mean anything, but I was able to find out its origin, which was good enough for me.

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.

I really haven't seen any 67 memes on Lemmy. Am I missing something?

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!

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)

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
