I gather it’s supposed to mean something (though I don’t see any meaning behind numbers aside from literal counting and measuring), but seriously, what’s up with 67 lately?

      Except it’s disrupting some fast food chains that have a menu item #67. For some, it’s possibly costing them revenue and harassing workers. Sadly it’s not something they can necessarily just laugh at or ignore.

        This is like the lamest target for a moral panic I’ve ever seen. And I was around for the d&d and video game ones.

        How many restaurants even have 67 or more menu items that you can select by number? This seems like a very niche ‘problem’ for the news to be concerned over

        Oh no a worker had to listen to a kid make a lame overused joke. Those poor people.

          Wow look at you being all smart and clever. The pictures I saw showed a fast food restaurant with a crowd of kids, not just one.

        That’s the only reason I even heard about the whole 67 thing, when it came up on our local news regarding fast food restaurants.

        It’s ridiculous, and honestly I feel like I’ve wasted minutes from my life even asking, but hey, now I loosely get it…

        It still makes little sense to me, but whatever 🤷

          It means nothing, except that the meaninglessness of it annoys boomers, so the zoomers and alphas keep doing it to annoy the boomers harder. It’s literally that simple
