    42 is from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, 69 is a sex position, 420 refers to weed

          The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy film was released 19 years ago, the story itself is over 40. Dont be surprised if lots of people dont know about it lol

            Yeah, people keep forgetting that kids born in 2000 are already too old for doing porn. Much less anything else.

            Also don’t forget most of my generation (19) are already brainrot iPad kids. You know how hard it is to find someone that knows old movies, isn’t a right winger or just hates me? F-ing impossible. At least I have my 40yo dad for good movies. Including Lucky Number Slevin. Especially Lucky Number Slevin.

              College was huge for me. Much more diversity in the people and better chances of making friends with mature, educated people (not to say that they don’t exist outside of college, just that the pickings were much easier/reliable)

              People always told me I was going to have my brain poisoned by my gameboy, television, my computer. I turned out fine!

              protip, you can watch a movie by yourself, hitchhikers is a fun little romp.

        He’s lying. 42 is a secret code that refers to letters of the alphabet. It’s the fourth and second letter: DB

        DB is a hidden operation in Germany. It’s a large secret society that moves huge metal objects of unknown purpose through the country. Some people have created schedules that indicate where in the country the vessels are expected to be seen - but when you arrive on site, nothing ever happens.

        At this point nobody is sure what goal DB is after, but many people assume it’s to confuse and frustrate Germans to death.

        I’m not making this up. DB is on Wikipedia.

          They hide the actions of the DB behind official schedules, pretending it’s something you can travel with. But as soon as you try to use that, nothing ever comes and officially it’s “delayed” and then “cancelled”.

    Lustigerweise wurde das michmich zuerst vom Angelsächsischen ins Zangendeutsche übersetzt.

    Funnily enough the meme was translated from English to German.

      I can’t read German but I definitely believe it was translated. I completely missed the 42 being a reference to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, I was hoping y’all came up with a new funny number haha.

          Achso. Ist halt sehr generisch gehalten, da würde auch Arschfanatikerassoziation passen.

              Auch wieder wahr. Ist aber eher traurig als nett.

                  Dss originale Maimai meint, dass diese Zahlen bzw. ihre Bedeutungen nett seien. Die DB ist aber eher traurig, bzw. ihr aktueller Status ist es.
