Humans don't work like that. Geographically, some trends finish in the area they started before they even reach other areas, though the internet has reduced the time lag. But there will be people who get into it before it's a trend, people that get into it because it's a trend, and people who continue to repeat it after it's a trend because they either like it or miss the time when it was a trend. It only dies off as those that hold on to it die off.

So 6-7 will be with us for a long time, though it's frequency of use could be on a downward trend.

42 is objectively the best number since it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

When my kid does 6-7 I do the same gesture saying 8-9. It also means nothing and it's bigger, so "I win". Annoys the hell out of them.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I go with "Ya, 42 right? I love Hitchhiker's guide. You are never going to go wrong with a guy Hitchhikers reference with me.". And then I go for a high-five that never gets returned. This shuts the entire thing down in such an amusing way.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 7 points 6 days ago

"Why was 6 scared of 7? Because 7 8 9."

(that works better spoken, than in text. ... 7 ate 9.)

[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

do it in the voice of the grinch then laugh like they do.

[–] TheDarkestShark@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You must've seen the same video I did. I do the exact thing with the same result.

I mean well yeah. The other numbers actually have some kind of meaning 67 is just nothing.

My favorite thing is the boomer anger towards 6-7

"Back in my day, our funni numbers mean something, and we wore onions on our belts, as was the fashion of the time"
