South Park on 6 7

What do you know, I've been worried I'm out of touch with things and here you go, South Park jumped on the 6 7 just days after I created this GitHub page. I'm not lost in year 1924 Finnegans Wake, I'm getting in tune ... 176,725 views January 8, 2021 ... to the mass mind front of brain damage (anti-goodness) billionare (Truth Social to South Park entertainment-washing) trickle-down to youth.

PROMPT to Google AI: "what do children think the "6 7" joke means?

There are two distinct "6 7" jokes, and a child's understanding depends on which version they are hearing.
The "7 ate 9" joke
This classic pun relies on a child's understanding of homophones, where "eight" sounds like "ate". The joke: "Why is 6 afraid of 7?" The punchline is: "Because 7 ate 9!"
A child's understanding: A child who grasps the joke has developed the cognitive and language skills to understand that words can have multiple meanings or sound the same. A young child who is still developing these skills might not understand the wordplay and will simply be confused by the non-sensical image of a number eating another number.

The modern TikTok trend

This newer version of the "6 7" joke is a meme that has no real meaning, and that's the point. The joke: A child responds to almost any question with "six seven," often accompanied by a specific up-and-down hand motion. It originated from a rap song and a viral TikTok featuring basketball player LaMelo Ball, who is 6'7".
A child's understanding: A child understands this as an inside joke and a way to be silly. They know that the phrase has become a widespread trend among peers because it confuses and annoys adults, which makes it even funnier. For them, it's a way of participating in a shared cultural moment and bonding with friends over shared, absurdist humor."

Lisztomania situation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisztomania

I've seen so many people this past 10 years adopt "Trump-speak", anything meme consumers find odd or unusual, people repeat and repeat and adopt. With zero self-awareness what they are doing to their brains. Programming Trump into their minds. There is no escape from the people all around adopting Twitter-think Trump-thinking, Surkovian values.

Adults can't understand "6 7", you gotta be kidding.
