That's from hitchhiker's guide, probably more a gen X thing. Millennials had 420.

HHGTTG was released at the end of the 70s so definitely a GenX thing.

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.

I hadn't read or watched it yet I knew the reference. It was bigger than the source material. It helped popularize it.

Maybe I was just on the wrong side of the internet at the time the meme was popular.

I'm not Christian. So it's just a number. You have to be an idiot to make this a thing.

I guess we're all idiots then. I don't mind to be one,honestly. It's a lot more fun that way.

Nobody who finds 6 7 funny is going to be using anything other than a tablet that runs YouTube

Late 40s, novice linux user, and I find it funny. I only know it coz of my kids, and the funny part is when they say it. You start spotting it everywhere yourself too, and in my head I shake my hands and shout 6 7....lol.

420 goes farther back than millennials. It was just more counter/sub culture and those who knew, knew. It just became common lexicon with the millennials.

Every generation has its words and phrases they use. Mostly to just annoy their parents-- Who had their own words and phrases.

So if you're Hep to the Scene and a Real Gone Cat, Be cool and chill, light up a J because it's 420 somewhere. And enjoy 67. And the not to distant future, we are all going to laugh at Gen Alpha about it. And they are going to be confused about the Gen Beta's annoying slang.

Personally I hope Plasma goes with 6.7 AND 6.9. The memes will just write themselves. And it will be glorious!

If you've been on that version for a year and a half, probably nothing major is broken. And with software these days, that's invaluable 😂

it’s like how the linux kernel isn’t semver: the number after the decimal point has a maximum of .19 and then the first number increments

except that one time

kernel version 4.20 is the only .20 kernel version

Wait since when was 42 a meme for millenials? I must have missed a lot of internet culture.

It's older than millenials, but widely known. And not really a "meme" like 420, 69 or 67. It was a chill meme.

Its the funny number of gen alpha. Like 42 for millenials. But there is no meaning behind it. Its just six seven. That's it.

It looks like funny number, but it's actually The Game. Funny numbers reference something, The Games are self referential.

Where are the distro makers? We need a distro with Plasma 6.7, kernel 6.9, maybe an optional lite version with xfce 4.20 and some meme wallpapers

Nah, humans are great at pattern-matching, even just being aware that some find 67 funny is enough for you to start spotting it. I started finding some amusement in it just due to exposure from younger coworkers.

Yeah, it's still a trash tier thing but it's at least slightly amusing

Why did you upload it as a webp? Nothing against ya, but webp can burn in hell in for it's sins (inconveniencing me when I forward memes to telegram and they come out as stickers) lol

Legit tho, how did you make it a webp? I never tried it, is it an export option on gimp?

sounds like we should get off telegram! (or at least the official client?)

WebP is a pretty awesome format with awesome compression, both lossless and lossy. It's only behind JXL which is not widely adopted.

Webp is way more efficient

Yes, it's an export option in Gimp, and I also use it everywhere. It's smaller than both PNG and JPG, does the job of both (lossy and lossless), and has better quality at the same size.

Yeah I'm not complaining. I'm actually surprised they've successfully demonstrated wayland support after jumping from 4.18.

I am also quite annoyed by telegram, but it's their fault for assuming all webp images as stickers

Trust me, I want to get out of telegram, but the issue is that all of my friends do not want to leave. Stickers are a huge reason for them staying on telegram, but the real reason is that they're used to it so they don't want to try new stuff

It's such a stupid decision! They can't even benefit from the better compression on all of the other images shared around because of this dumb decision
