Timestamps Memes

So apparently we've been worshipping the wrong deity all along. While Christians organized their entire calendar around Jesus's birthday, programmers took one look at Gabriel Jarret playing teenage prodigy Mitch Taylor in the 1985 film "Real Genius" and collectively decided, "Yeah, this random actor's birthdate (January 1st, 1970) shall be the foundation of all computer time." The Unix epoch timestamp starts counting from midnight UTC on January 1, 1970—which happens to be Gabriel Jarret's actual birthdate. It's like the entire computing world accidentally created a religion around a child actor who would later play a genius in a comedy film. The irony is chef's kiss level. Every time you check a timestamp, log an event, or schedule a cron job, you're essentially measuring time from the birth of Mitch Taylor himself. Forget Y2K—we should be preparing for the Year 2038 problem when Gabriel Jarret turns 68 and our 32-bit signed integers overflow. That's when the real apocalypse happens.
