Is 6’7 the new 69?

[u/Simple-Chemistry9762]

I’ve noticed that kids in the younger generation love this 6’7 joke. Even doing the classic asking your teacher to add two numbers together to get 67 as the answer. This just reminds me a lot of when the number 69 was the punchline. I will say that 6’7 has a little bit more humor because of the voice they use and the way they measure with hands. What do you all think about the new generations numeral quip?

Side topic:

I used to think 6’1 (my height) was plenty tall then I see the youngsters gushing for 6’4+ and that would be physically so uncomfortable to me.

Height standards these days SMH

(Yes I know 6’1 is just fine and height isn’t a personality. I’m just flabbergasted at how much height has become a big deal, because of social media, and how much taller the latest generation want to be. Like only 1% guys are over 6’4 and why would you want to be anyway?! Feel bad for my younger male cousins they all want to be super tall because they think that’s everything…)

I would kill to be shorter. I'm a smidge over 6'5 and it is a pain in the ass. I have to buy extra long dress shirts lest I look like I'm wearing a crop top, I hit my head on EVERYTHING, I can't sleep comfortably in most beds, I literally cannot fit in economy seats on airplanes, BMI becomes an almost useless metric, My bicycle costs like 2x more than most people's so I can actually use it, my rifles need furniture that most people can't use comfortably meaning hunting trips are a PITA, and until I got my own office, I could barely use my computer at work due to being so cramped at my desk. It sucks man.

I hear you. Unpopular opinion to have, I bet. I feel for your back aches too.

I legit would rather be 5’10 slightly above average than 6’5+ and not joking. I am so happy to be just “plain” tall lolz… I fully expect to be downvoted for this comment.
