minus-squaregroet@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoIts the funny number of gen alpha. Like 42 for millenials. But there is no meaning behind it. Its just six seven. That’s it.
minus-squarefenrasulfr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoWait since when was 42 a meme for millenials? I must have missed a lot of internet culture.
minus-squareTja@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoIt’s older than millenials, but widely known. And not really a “meme” like 420, 69 or 67. It was a chill meme.
minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 days agoThat’s from hitchhiker’s guide, probably more a gen X thing. Millennials had 420.
minus-squaretomato666@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoHHGTTG was released at the end of the 70s so definitely a GenX thing.
minus-squarefenrasulfr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoI am sure that ddpends on whether you were born in the 80’s or 90’s as a millenial. But thanks for the info. Yeah 420 and 69 would be more of the meme numbers to me at least.
minus-squarei_love_FFT@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoI had to pick a custom port number for a service at work, I usedport 42069. My boss never realized and it’s still there.
minus-squareDanquebec@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoI was born in the 90s and 42 was a meme number for me. But I was aware it was part of nerd culture. Definitely not something known by most.
minus-squarefenrasulfr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoConsidering how insular internet culture was back in the 2000’s, let alone the 90’s when very few had access to the internet. It does not surprise me I missed this meme.

minus-squarefenrasulfr@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoThank you for the info. I have never watched Hitchhikers guide so that would be why I do not have a reference for it.
minus-squareDanquebec@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoI hadn’t read or watched it yet it I knew the reference. It was bigger than the source material. It helped popularize it.
