BTW this isn’t a shitpost. Back when this was posted (March 2021), I did the math and calculated it’d actually take slightly more, at 27 billion crabs.
But that’s within an order of magnitude, so I say it’s pretty much correct. You could definitely shave off some edges and manage to fit Doom into 16 billion crabs.
I also calculated the gate propagation delay and how long it’d take a CrabCPU to complete a cycle, and figured out that at best, it’d be running at about 0. 0013 hertz, or one cycle every 13 minutes.
Scaling that speed to how fast a 33mhz 386 ran doom, it means it’d get about 0.00000016 frames per second, or about a frame every 104 years.
Wish you told me that before I bought all these crabs to play Doom
