Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.

Albbi ,

Wow, those floppy drives are really singin’. Heheh

Had no idea you could actually do this.

How’d I know it would be action retro

kindenough ,

Fuck being incorrect. Buy an old AKAI sampler and make music from floppy disks libraries, I still do with my S-1100. Wrong answer would be to ritually burn them...don't.

kaitco ,

Run Doom on them?

Don’t copy that floppy.

gex ,

Buy doom on steam, download and backup the install files on the floppy

confusedwiseman ,

Print your business cards on them.

_bcron ,

Fill a silicone cube with deepset epoxy, toss that bad boy in. Fill a 2" thick and 6’ tall PVC pipe with epoxy. Let it all dry then affix the epoxy rod to that cube and make a wizard’s staff

Sue the maker for false advertising. 1.44MB is clearly not High Density.

It is compared to their predecesssor.

The 720kb “double density” diskette used for example, in Commodore Amiga computers.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown ,

link them together through the data and read-only slots to make a countdown chain.

Nerdcore bling

I_Miss_Daniel ,

Zip tie them into a 2x1 rectangular cube with a flip top lid. A drill may be needed.

HobbitFoot ,

Make yourself some Enterprises.

AlternateRoute ,

Beat me too it… For those that don’t get it

intensely_human ,

Shuffle them like playing cards

Use them to make a bootleg copy of Duke Nukem to share with your friends. That’s what we used to do with them lol

Hello_there ,

Label in sharpie as "Bitcoin password" and superglue to the sidewalk in a busy area.
Watch people try to pick up.

This is the right answer. You failed hard.

Landless2029 ,

Yeeessssss…

Cover the paper label with packing tape (cheap mans laminate).
Use quick set epoxy for a better bond.

circuscritic ,

This is 98% the right answer, but you drop them somewhere that keeps them intact, and believable enough so that people take them, and spend the rest of the weekend going to thrift stores trying to find an external floppy drive, and the next month trying to figure out how to get their iPhone to mount it.

Alternatively, you could write

  • "Someone help me I’m trapped in here!"
  • “Nuclear attack scenarios”
  • “You put this disk here to save your life, do not ignore”

could make a nice, nutritious breakfast

Press them to make a real world save point.

Philote ,

Click on them to save your files.

Just carry one around with you and whenever something important happens or you are about to do something risky, pull it out, press it with your finger and loudly say “Save”.

Edit: Bonus points for carrying a huge cardboard mouse pointer to click with.

Edit 2: I really should read all the replies before starting to type.

DMerald ,

Hitting the save right before the murder spree.
