The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy film was released 19 years ago, the story itself is over 40. Dont be surprised if lots of people dont know about it lol

He’s lying. 42 is a secret code that refers to letters of the alphabet. It’s the fourth and second letter: DB

DB is a hidden operation in Germany. It’s a large secret society that moves huge metal objects of unknown purpose through the country. Some people have created schedules that indicate where in the country the vessels are expected to be seen - but when you arrive on site, nothing ever happens.

At this point nobody is sure what goal DB is after, but many people assume it’s to confuse and frustrate Germans to death.

I’m not making this up. DB is on Wikipedia.

They hide the actions of the DB behind official schedules, pretending it’s something you can travel with. But as soon as you try to use that, nothing ever comes and officially it’s “delayed” and then “cancelled”.

Lustigerweise wurde das michmich zuerst vom Angelsächsischen ins Zangendeutsche übersetzt.

Funnily enough the meme was translated from English to German.

I can’t read German but I definitely believe it was translated. I completely missed the 42 being a reference to hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, I was hoping y’all came up with a new funny number haha.
