Still not seeing it, lol. I guess you mean it would be their 69, except that you need one to be the upside down version of the other…? I don’t know. Someone should write a research paper on this. :D
Comment on Roman numerals, man... so close!
HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s their first multi-digit number that’s the same either way up

69 is (our) 69 because the whole thing is the same when you rotate it 180°
As is XIX

I thought it was because the 6 is a dude with his dick out, and 9 is a girl with her tits out, or the 9 is another dude flipped around…

Huh, I thought it was because that’s where the head is.
HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well that’s one way to think about it lol

69 isn’t “the funny” number because it’s an ambigram. It’s the “funny number” because it’s the sex position number.
You’re one of that’s 10000: xkcd.com/1053/ :)

Nah, that’s not how 69 works
HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes it is! One person one way, one person the other. From the 180 perspective, the same.
The participants are thus mutually inverted like the numerals 6 and 9 in the number 69

Unless you’re meaning it specifically has to be 2 digits, and therefore XIX doesn’t qualify? If so that’s fair (it was just the closest analogue I could think of. Maybe II would indeed be better).

Except II

Which coincidentally looks like the missionary position.

Lol whoops
I should’ve said containing different digits
