六人定律
Internet meme: A colloquial Chinese term for the 'Six Degrees of Separation' theory, which states that any two people on Earth can be connected through at most six intermediaries. The concept was proposed by Hungarian writer Frigyes Karinthy in 1929 and later experimentally validated by Harvard psychologist Stanley Milgram in 1967. Bilibili users turned it into a meme by applying it to absurd character pairings. Usage: Bilibili users create challenges using the 'Six People Law' to connect absurd character pairs, such as 'proving Guangtouqiang knows Trump' or 'proving Pleasant Goat knows Trump,' commonly used in video titles and comment sections for comedic effect.

Internet meme: From the lyrics of the song 'Fortune from All Directions' (八方来财) by Cantonese rapper Lan Lao (揽佬SKAI ISYOURGOD, born Chen Xukai). The lyric 'Chinese people can fly' is sung in his Huizhou accent. The album went viral on Bilibili and other social platforms in 2024, making this phrase a popular meme. Usage: Bilibili users spam 'Chinese people can fly' in danmaku and comments, expressing pride in Chinese rap culture or simply memeing the catchy lyric. Often paired with rocket emoji (中国人能飞🚀🚀🚀).
