It seems “Good Morning America” just wanted to count down to summer with their bafflingly clueless tweet, but Twitter had other ideas. Here is the tweet GMA sent out that set the internet ablaze: “69 Days Until Summer!” Of course, Twitter responded in kind—but probably not how you think.
Everyone immediately replied with “Nice.” Why? It seems there’s a long internet tradition that whenever ’69’ appears, in any context, the response you’re supposed to give is “nice.” This is called “The Game,” which according to NYMag, demonstrates your knowledge of “an extremely cool activity (which is, to be clear, having sex).” So, basically, the internet is horny and loves 69—and “Good Morning America” just loves summer!
Want to demonstrate your love of 69? We’ve got one word for you: nice!
