0x28 Memes

Counting in hexadecimal is the programmer's fountain of youth. You're not turning 40, you're turning 0x28—which sounds way less existentially terrifying. The beauty here is that 0x28 in hex equals 40 in decimal, so you're technically still celebrating the same birthday, just with better optics. It's like using dark mode for your age. Fun fact: if you keep this up, you won't hit "100" until you're 256 years old. Retirement planning just got a whole lot more optimistic. Your 401k can wait—you've got another 0xD8 years to contribute.
