OK I challenge you to rewrite the IP address you wrote without looking in 5 hours.

Then go try it again with something like 10.10.53.24.

See which is easier.

That's difficult to memorize, just like it would be difficult to memorize the mailing address for a random hut in Africa. The world is a big place, so unique addresses are necessarily long.

If I wanted a memorable local address like 10.10.53.24, I'd pick fd53::24 or something.
