I can't really tell if this is a sort of satire or joke?
It seems to implement BigInts as BCD where each decimal digit gets it's own int32, implements division, then suggests kernel upstreaming. All as a solution for arbitrary spans of time.

Based on this, it has to be a joke, or at least a tongue-in-cheek exercise that is "solving" an imaginary problem.
It's not? But it's predicated on the idea that human life hundreds of billions of years from now will be more or less the same as it is now, to the extent that they'll even still be using the same APIs and OSs. It's difficult to believe someone would posit that as anything other than a joke.
Next time, just say it was a joke.
