Clicker games are very popular on Scratch but they all have a limited max number.

With SNAP there is no ceiling.  Easily collect 10,319,547,419,658,830 diamonds and watch the count continue to climb.  This would normally be an unsafe whole number but it's okay here.

Collect diamonds by clicking on the diamond and by buying robots that automatically collect the diamonds for you. You start out with one automatic collector that earns you one diamond per second.

Send your program back in time to run on various historical computers.  When it returns your automatic collectors will have spent years collecting diamonds.
