I'm 20 btw.
Lol
These are just what I had handy LMAO I'm also 30+ and still remember dialup so maybe it's not that impactful either way 😂
Why do individually-sealed diskettes like Kraft Singles feel so wrong?
Because you weren’t alive when they were in use?
Dust kills them. They’d typically be packaged in individual paper envelopes or plastic bags.
I remember when floppies were floppy, kid.
They’re still floppy on the inside.
Sorry to hear about the dementia, old timer.
Oh come on, this is funny. Don't downvote humor you old farts. I'm old enough to remember when we got internet. I was 14 and had to beg mom to let us use the free AOL trial.
Once that month was up, we were hooked faster than if we had visited a Chinese opium den in the 1800s.
Edit: wow I sure fucked up that first draft. I was 14, not 24.
skshhhhhhhSKHHHHHHHH gnah gnah eeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEE
They are fun to use, they sound neat, and they dont give me data overload of a 1 tb hard drive filling up and wondering where all the space went. Sure, all you can use it for is a few text docs or 10 low res pictures, but its at least physical and a lot harder to wreck than a cd.
Come back when you have some punch cards. ;)
Me likey. The floppy drive clicks symphony tho 😬
