Discrete Logic Computers
Commenters debate building logic gates, adders, flip-flops, and minimalist CPUs using unconventional or discrete components like soil pots, resistors, NAND gates, or novel mediums, often referencing Ben Eater-style designs and gate efficiency.

Could this be used to build a super minimalistic Ben Eater style CPU?
Where's your chip that does all that in 1k gates?
Wires, gates, outputs & inputs and syncing - the core ingredients of computer-in-a-computer
How can you make logic gates with this?
Well, there are half and full adders, maybe a flip-flop would be feasible?
Liar. You used NAND gates and a clock.
You can make logical gates from this, right?
You could build one out with discrete logic.
A processor made out of tiny resistors?
So can you make logic gates in this?
