I just told my kids (in a long winded and overly dramatic manner) the story of the supercomputer, Deep Thought. How it was set the monumental task of answering the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, and that after eons of calculations it finally returned the answer:

42.

Kids were looking at me like I was a nutbag, and rolling their eyes.

Then I asked them....

"What's 6x7?"

They lost their goddam shit, and left for school giggling their heads off about it.

Gotta love that the classics can be integrated into #GenAlpha #BrainRot , and it at least enouraged the eldest to briefly consider reading the books 🤣😄
