    No, this one is uniquely incomprehensible

    Heres the source

    I find this actually annoying. I don’t mind that it’s meta or a reference to something I don’t know about, I mind that there’s nothing to play with except invoking it

    It’s so meta it’s only meta, it’s a reference to white noise

    I also found “the game” annoying for comparison

      “The game” actually had a thing to it, there was logic and reason behind it and it was actually funny for a bit.

      Someday centuries from now web archeologists will discover it and share it among their collogues a fun little inside joke. But then it will spread to their friends and families and then to their coworkers and their loved ones. And it will be born again like some ancient evil.

      Damn man, I was on a streak (totally joking while kind of being serious).

      Thanks for the source though, I still don’t get it but I’m also still using the same ringtone I used when my son started school (he’s in college now).

        I just spread it again without realizing it, damn cognitohazards…

        But yeah, here there’s literally nothing to get. There’s no cultural context, no deeper meaning - the whole thing is just the hand motion and saying “six seven”
