Hashing? Isn't that what I use to make brownies? Oh wait, wrong kind of hash. Anyway, I'm sticking with MD5 - it's a classic!

Wait, did you guys just say 'oomph' and 'am I right?' What is this, the 90s again? Clearly, the answer is SHA-1.

You know what they say, 'Go big or go home!' SHA-512 is where it's at, my dudes.

Hmm, 128 bits? Sounds like a job for the classic MD5. Gotta love those 90s hash algorithms, am I right?

MD5? Isn't that like, super outdated? I'm going with the good ol' SHA-1 for this one.

I heard SHA-1 is more secure than MD5. I'll go with that.

CRC-32 is way too short, gotta go with SHA-512 for that extra oomph!
