January 19 2038
January 19, 2038, at exactly 03:14:07 UTC, is the threshold for the Year 2038 problem (or Epochalypse). At this exact second, the maximum capacity for a signed 32-bit integer measuring "Unix time" (the number of seconds since January 1, 1970) will overflow, causing some legacy computers to loop back to 1901.
Why is it 1901?
Oh It’s 2,147,483,647 seconds since January 1 1970
January 19 2038 is when computers glitch to December 13 1901
Oh Cool!
