You can play Doom using gut bacteria, but the framerate is atrocious

Not running the game’s code on a biological computer (maybe that’s next?) but showing the opening frame of the game rendered in bacteria is a good first step

“is this butterfly” meme labeled “conservatives probably” with the text “fluorescent e. Coli” over the person and the text “is this gain of function research” over the butterfly
uh what does this even mean
We need a c/okbuddypdh
There’s a stupid conspiracy that’s parroted by people in The US like Rand Paul that the US (in general and Anthony Faucci in specific) helped intentionally create SARS-CoV-2 by funding Gain of Function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Spoiler: it’s “just” a display. Bacteria are not doing any calculations. Unlike the crab computer.
The what now computer?
The crab computer
That gives me some 3 Body Problem vibes.
Haha that’s exactly what I was thinking of, the million human computer.
I see this being incorporated into a maths lesson about vector addition.
They’re made using these crabs.
Also called “soldier crabs”

Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
Mictyris guinotae is a species of soldier crab of genus Mictyris, endemic to the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. They were named after Danièle Guinot, a professor at the Muséum national d’histoire naturelle in France, and were first treated as a separate species in a tribute volume to Guinot.

Imagine living your entire live as a sentient being not knowing you’re actually just a logic gate in a huge-ass computer.
That’s basically reality for all of us right now
And then when AI researchers come along to make it so we don't have to be logic gates in that computer, we complain about "losing our jobs."
Well yeah because this is capitalism, and those lost jobs will be lost forever, and everyone who was working them will suddenly have no source of income with nothing to replace it. Instead of taking care of those people, they’ll just be collateral damage.
Sounds like the problem is with our economic system. There are ways to fix that. Even ways to fix "capitalism" so that it isn't necessary, without changing the fundamental concepts of freedom and personal property that people are so worried about.
Guess it’s not long until the Vogons come.
Well, they really could stand to get on with it, you know?
If we’re really unlucky, they might read us some of their poetry.

I would bet there’s someone who has made a custom ass shaped computer case.
“What up YouTube, today we’re going to build a custom gaming PC for our special guest: Sir Mixalot!”
Is that a vintage xkcd?
very vintage, yes

WE KNOW
The real OLED screen.
Speak for yourself.
My gut bacteria runs Doom at a smooth 60 fps
I’m not sure I want to know what the ‘f’ stands for here.
.
Farts per stomach?
Farts per second…obviously
They keep you regular. Specifically your fps
Time to fight the cacademons.
Bacteria you say? Sounds stylish.
Would six hundred and sixty six suffice?
