To be fair, we skinbags do ruin everything.

Yeah, the Manchester Baby was the first stored-program computer. As others have noticed, you can go down the rabbit hole a long way, depending on what you define as a computer. Fascinating stuff.
Yeah, the whole history is fascinating. I also like to remind my college students that computer science/engineering is one of the rare branches of science/engineering that was founded at least in equal part by women, if not more (again, an arguable point, but undeniable that there is a larger influence from women compared to other scientific disciplines).
Yeah, there were plenty of precursors (hence the MB was arguably the first). But the Manchester Baby was the first stored-program general purpose computer. Gotta pick a point somewhere.
Alan Turing was the father of computer science, but didn’t invent the first computer. Arguably the first computer was called the Manchester Baby and was created by folks at the University of Manchester.
Alan Turing was an absolute boss, though. Huge respect.

Now double dare them back to eat one while it’s still on the bull.
The lite version of this is used in plenty of games. Undertale and Pokémon Rocket Edition are two that come to mind.

It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t.
No, crabhorse shoes didn’t come until at least 5 years later.
No idea when shoecrab horses came about, though.
And don’t even get me started on horseshoe crabs. Older than plants, those ones.
