Get a few suitcases at Goodwill or something, stick a floppy and some ‘redacted’ papers in a red envelope, leave them in random places around town and observe what happens. Make sure to wear a trench coat and sunglasses when you ‘forget’ them at each drop point.

You could use them as a memory card for ps1 games.

tilefan ,

see how many of them it takes to hold a single 4K image

superkret OP ,

That’s just over 8MP.
You could easily store a 4K Image on a floppy in half-way decent quality, two with visible jpeg artifacts.

tilefan ,

okay so make it bigger

TDK’s revenue has been increasing steadily at least starting from 2010. When was the last time you bought a TDK product?

Boof them. Don’t think about it, just boof em.

Mount nine of them on a square board so that they’re all focused on a single point for a mild solar furnace.

Use the last one to look at yourself, the proud owner of a mild solar furnace.

What kind of floppies are you thinking of? the very little metal on those discs aren’t that reflective.

Melatonin ,

I was too far in the future, using CDs. Floppies, wow.

Now I’m going to have to rethink my whole thing.

PolydoreSmith ,

You… don’t know what a floppy disk is, do you?

Melatonin ,

I do, I just don’t pay careful attention to details and just run with what I think things are saying.

My first computer was an Atari 520ST. No hard drive (its OS ran off a chip), and every program ran off a floppy. And your storage was on a floppy.

Yeah, I know floppies. I used to have shoeboxes of them.

Throw them away and find a shugart compatible disk

lemmylommy ,

Sell them. There is a market for that.

Carry one in your pocket so you can whip it out in a threatening gesture… like in the film hackers

open it in a non-destructive manner, switch every read/write lock slider, put it back together.

pulverizedcoccyx ,

Whatever you do, as soon as you crack it open get your nose right up there and inhale deeply.

AndrewZabar ,

Aaahhhhhhhh the aroma of 1995.

nightofmichelinstars ,

The cleanest breath you’ll ever take

superkret OP ,

Nah, probably smells like cigarettes
