The obsession with the number 69 and 420 in memes and jokes is stupid and unfunny.

    I think that’s the point. It’s like deep fried memes. It’s about stupid absurdity. Memes being funny isn’t always a required factor for their enjoyment.

      No, but old memes become lame. We need a fresh sex number.

    It is stupid and unfunny. Its the kind of thing 13yo boys laugh at. Problem is we grow up, get soul crushing jobs and one day we’re at the Deli counter and ask for about half a kilo of ham, the guy bags it and puts it on the scales and it comes to 420g and you grab some other stuff and go to the checkout and the total is $69. You realise 13yo you would have loved that, realise how little silly joy there is in your life now and contemplate washing your mouth out with buckshot.

      69 is just always going to be funny because like you said, I’m stuck in a soul crushing job, and it’s nice to chuckle to myself sometimes.

    Aren’t most memes “ha he said/showed the thing I know about!” anyway?

    It’s like the big bang theory jokes. Mentioning something that someone knows can be enough for people to enjoy themselves.

    69 has added sex appeal because of its meaning. Its the “thats what she said” type of thing. “Haha, you said the sex thing”

    420 has added naughty appeal because drugs.

    Basically its an “ooh you said the thing, and that thing is naughty!”

    It’s fine, but not my cup of tea either.

    I think some people miss the point. Number 69 is not funny because of sex, it become funny because we like absurd stuff. Whenever I point out “Nice.”, not in a slightest I think about sex position, or I am being horny, it’s just ‘funny’ on it’s own.

    My hard sci-fi universe = “the year is 420,421 AF (After Fusion)”

    Why? Because it is easy AF to remember, and I don’t even smoke. Like, let’s start out with this, so you know what to expect. This ain’t no authoritarian laser dildo wand flick here to propagandize cultural exceptionalism.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
