Change the first example on the Markdown help page

Question

Currently, on the MD editing help page the first example can offend some people because of what it says and it is gender-specific.

It currently says:

printf("goodbye world!"); /* his suicide note was in C */

I suggest that it is changed to something like the following.

printf("goodbye Area 51!"); /* their goodbye note was in C */

Ugh I forgot we used this creepy example across the whole network long ago. — animuson, Jun 10, 2022 at 15:48
Here's the MSE post prompting the relevant change to the example on /editing-help on the rest of the Stack Exchange network. — V2Blast, Aug 23, 2022 at 2:41
