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.

I agree with Rusty, MD5 produces a 128-bit message digest.

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 Isn't that like, super outdated?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.

I think MD5 is outdated too. I'm going with SHA-1 as well.
