Many computers track time by counting the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (the "Epoch"). They count with a signed 32-bit integer, which will last until January 19, 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC. Then, the value will "overflow" and computers will think it is December 13, 1901. 😧

Fortunately, computers are already being updated to use 64-bit integers, which will delay the Epochalypse for approximately 292 billion years 🎉. #NerdyHolidays
