The number of the Mr. Beast

Montage of Feck

Apparently all the cool kids are saying 6-7? A sign that the general population are degenerating into a chattering mass of impecles really to be ruled over by the tech bro barons or just a harmless fad like fidget spinners? Although the peer reveived studies on the long-term impact of fidget spinners is sparse.

fidget spinners are great for those of us that have neurodivergence, helping to reduce anxiety, they can also help neurotypicals for similar issues, ive seen this myself amongst those that are neurodivergent

I think "78", you've drifted into a conversation about 67, and you've jumped to a 01 conclusion.

Good to see you make an effort to keep up with modern culture.

In my day, 69 was the number to be proud of. If we're down to 67 now, has one party got smaller or are we supposed to be focusing on a different region?

I'm reminded of another pop culture reference from a bygone era

Probably badly paraphrased from Granpa Simpson

I used to know what was cool, now whats cool just seems weird and scary to me.

If you put it on a table and just spin it, it keeps going for about a minute.

I saw a foolproof way to stop your kids saying 6-7 if it's annoying you. You simply reply, every time, with

...8

My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy

My obsession from a Western, my dance floor date

My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe

Wanna make you mine, better get in line

is the boards cuckoos nest still a thing?

ceadaoin.

Skibidi, gyatt, sigma, rizzler, diddy party, fanum tax and now 6 7. As a parent of a teen Ive heard it all and I still dont get it. Young people today really love their random words. I honestly don't remember anything similar when I was a kid.

Dictionary.com even made "67" it's word of the year. Not even a word ffs. Should have been brainrot instead lol

Here you are complaining about kids and their words and you're using "lol" in sentences.

Moderators threatening to close a thread on the ephemeral nature of pop culture because they don't get the reference is peak boards.ie

And the stunning lack of insight regarding their actions in light of boards.ie's reputation for heavy handed moderation, amazing…

All of this in the social and 'fun' section too

Just pull the plug now and you can refund the donors at least

Sorry but im sure that not every person in After Hours gets the reference and I am well within my rights to close a thread. If you start a thread that seems like gibberish then in general it will get locked down. Its the same as link dumping, post just a liink with no thoughts of your own in the post then it will be closed.

Not sure where this fad originated but i hope it came about the old fashioned way, through a large corporations marketing department "wazzaaaaaaaaaaap".

As per the last post 6-7 is fairly tame, all the proto memes of the 90's made me want to drink bud-wise-eer. Those Damm frogs!

Fear not, those of you* who are too old and decrepit to have a clue what the OP is talking about, Patrick Freyne has an explainer: https://www.irishtimes.com/life-style/2025/10/28/what-is-six-seven-and-why-is-the-world-currently-obsessed-with-this-latest-online-trend/

*That would have been an "us" only my partner has three children under the age of 10 and I'm sadly all too familiar with this cursed phrase

The funny thing is the the ‘establishment’ isn’t supposed ‘to get it’. If they do, the game is up.

hkjohn

The fact that adults have cottoned onto and started commenting on/using 6-7 means the really cool kids will already have moved on to something else
