And why would you be so obsessed with round numbers? Silly pseudo-humans.

Yeah but 0x60000000 will be 14 Jan 2021 08:25:36 GMT, who knows if the internet will still exist by this time so we can celebrate?

0x55555555 is in a year and two days. Tangible enough?

0x60000000 will be fine. The internet won't end until at least 0x7FFFFFFF!

A real robot would be all, 1010011011100100100111000000000

Why would a real robot be using ascii characters 48 and 49?
