    That’s from hitchhiker’s guide, probably more a gen X thing.

    Millennials had 420.

      I 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.

        I had to pick a custom port number for a service at work, I usedport 42069. My boss never realized and it’s still there.

        I 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.

          Considering 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.
