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

www.rockpapershotgun.com You can play Doom using gut bacteria, but the framerate is atrocious

How does one frame per eight-and-a-half hours sound?

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

Spoiler: it's "just" a display. Bacteria are not doing any calculations. Unlike the crab computer.

  The crab computer
  
  They're made using these crabs.
  
  Also called "soldier crabs"

- 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

  I’m not sure I want to know what the ‘f’ stands for here.

- They keep you regular. Specifically your fps
The real OLED screen.
Time to fight the cacademons.
my final conclusion is to run doom on cells it would take about 600 years

Would six hundred and sixty six suffice?
WE KNOW
"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
  
  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.
  
  We need a c/okbuddypdh
Bacteria you say? Sounds stylish.
