    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.

        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 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.

        Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Movie or TV series. 42 is the answer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”

          Thank you for the info. I have never watched Hitchhikers guide so that would be why I do not have a reference for it.

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