67 came from a song lyric, then a kid made a tiktok where he frantically said "six seveeen!! six seveeen!!" to the camera while doing a gesture with his hands. and because kids love pattern recognition, when they see the number it's easy to point it out and do the gesture. and so the meme spread.
the humor comes from it being nonsensical; the joke is on anyone who's either tired of it, or never found it funny at all, so i don't really see it going away anytime soon.
i don't get why that other user is being such a lemmy ahh replier. i don't really use "ahh", but here's my working definitions.
"ahh" is slang that means "ass", but as far as i know, it's usage is restricted to when you would say "lookin", or when referring to yourself.
so "goofy lookin' shoes", "goofy ass shoes", and "goofy ahh shoes" all mean the same thing. this use doesn't work for positive contexts, though; "sweet ahh car" is improper.
also, "my hungry ass when i see burger", and "my hungry ahh when i see burger" mean the same thing.
a "lemmy ahh thread" thus means "a thread that is negatively stereotypical of lemmy".
additional context; Katie Scott, a former exec at ubisoft, will be the "Head of Vanilla Minecraft" in 2026. this source writes:
Scott left Ubisoft in November, but her role as vice president of the company's global creative game office saw her specialize in "competitive, live service, and free to play experiences to create games with lasting impact, high retention, and monetization results." She also writes that she focused on "live service strategies and ambitious retention and monetization" in Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six games
now that sounds bad on paper, but it's unclear to me what exactly she'll be doing in this position. best i could find was this linkedin post advertising the position 7 months ago, which reads:
Join us in shaping the future. Minecraft isn't just a game. It's a platform for creativity, learning, and building community. We're seeking a senior leader, based in Stockholm, to guide our talented teams toward Minecraft's evolution. Help us build a better world through the power of play.
my interpretation of this is that she'll still be under other managers, and wouldn't be making any big decisions alone. regardless, this is not a good look for Mojang, especially at a time where the community are getting impatient with Bedrock's issues.
