Don't grow older than 255 or else it will overflow

A photo of a cake with 8 candles in a row. The first and fifth candle from the right are lit. The caption reads "Happy 17th Birthday"
I'd actually quite like an overflowing cake thank you very much
thinking of getting older than 255?
How about 4294967295?
with 8 bit? true, with 32 bit you might have a chance to see the sun die, but.... there are just 8 candles
64 bits and you get to watch heat death slowly set in. (Or, y'know, cosmological catastrophe depending on the full physics)
