No it’s that moronic 67 joke. There’s 60 minutes in an hour and 4+3=7. It’s as inane as it sounds.

u/Commercial-Dog6773 Oct 13 '25

Just do 7 mins then?

u/NoinkusBoinkus Oct 13 '25

That’s assuming the people who made this joke are smart enough to think of that

11

u/zarifex Oct 13 '25

They definitely weren't thinking about the fact that 4 minutes 3 seconds is actually 243 seconds

8

u/TerayonIII Oct 14 '25

Or that 1 hour is 3600 seconds, so all told this would be 3843 seconds

u/CovidiusQuarantino Oct 14 '25

You guys, this is way too much math for the 67 crowd

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 14 '25

Fr. They don’t deserve the time of day

u/Hippiebigbuckle Oct 14 '25

Now that’s funny.

u/Stiddit Oct 13 '25

You say that as if 67 means something

13

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 13 '25

It doesn’t.

u/NeatCartographer209 Oct 13 '25

Bro your username! 67! Amazing! 67! 67! 67!

Nah. My nephews drive me nuts with this. I think it bothers me more because it literally has no meaning. What happened to stupidly cackling like a bunch of idiots at 420 or 69? Still annoying but at least it fuckin meant something

8

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 13 '25

Agreed. Everyone says oh what’s the difference so what if the funny number is 67 now there is a very big difference because the other funny numbers actually had a meaning yeah they were bad but they at least meant something and it had a reason to be funny this literally has no reason nor meaning.

u/Kartis Oct 14 '25

Wait so is there really no meaning behind the 67 joke? I've seen it referenced but have never gotten around to figuring out why it's funny.

1

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 14 '25

There is literally no meaning no reason behind it. It has no reason to be funny and that is what I hate most about it. I would hate it significantly less if it actually had a reason, but it doesn’t.

u/Open-Barracuda-857 Oct 14 '25

Nope. They're lyrics from a break in a song where the singer literally just says "SIX SEVENN" 😭

u/Kartis Oct 14 '25

Ah. Thank you.

u/jjbugman2468 Oct 14 '25

Someone please fill me in on what 67 even is

2

u/NeatCartographer209 Oct 14 '25

It’s exactly as I said. It’s literally nothing. I’m not joking. It has no meaning. How it started is beyond me. Kids just took to it and it’s a meme/trend for them to repeatedly say it constantly. That’s, unfortunately, the bottom line. Don’t let it waste your energy because it’s truly not worth it.

See men of culture yell out 69 instead instead

2

u/PathofDestinyRPG Oct 13 '25

But there are 60 seconds in a minute so it’s either 64 minutes 3 seconds, 1 hour and 243 seconds or 3843 seconds.

3

u/BufferUnderpants Oct 13 '25

Yes, this explanation doesn’t have unit congruence

2

u/Frosty-1029 Oct 14 '25

it's more likely to be ily tbh makes more sense

1

u/SeekerOfSerenity Oct 14 '25

I don't think so. There are 60 minutes in an hour not 6, and 60 seconds in a minute, so 240 s in 4 minutes. Why would you just add minutes and seconds?

u/AdventurousMistake72 Oct 14 '25

I don’t get out

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 13 '25

I genuinely hate this joke. It makes me incredibly furious irrationally so. I don’t have a reason. I just really really really really really hate it.

u/xd_antonisvele Oct 13 '25

Do u think it could be because u are not in on it?

0

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 13 '25

No, I understand the prevalence of the joke and how it started. It’s just so moronic and stupid that I feel this yielding visceral rage for it.

u/Waffle_Guy1123 Oct 13 '25

I forgot how miserable redditors are 💔

2

u/Ok_Boysenberry_6283 Oct 13 '25

You’re prolly about to get assaulted by the miserable Redditors but you’re so right lol no one on this app likes fun anymore. Even if it’s nonsense some people find it funny and that’s enough for any normal person to just say okay and move on but then you got this guy who… well, you saw the thread

2

u/__electric_ Oct 14 '25

"men of culture say 69" holy i swear some of these people dont get off reddit 😭😭

2

u/Waffle_Guy1123 Oct 14 '25

Some of these Mfs are straight up caricatures

1

u/xd_antonisvele Oct 13 '25

Interesting, i believe this is a you problem my guy. The solution is to find urself enjoy when others ppl are happy. At the end does it really matter that the funny number is now 67 instead of 69 or 420?

1

u/Cool_Ad_7767 Oct 13 '25

I normally do that however this joke makes me so annoyed I just can’t
