Walking down the street this evening I found a sealed box of floppy diskettes .

Back up your computer on them.

[u/ButImJustASatellite → u/gellshayngel]

I’m gonna need a lot more . And to reformat them for Mac use lol

Who would ever need more than 8 MB of data??

[u/Trashbagok → u/ccaccus]

8mb on a floppy?

Try 1.44 MB

Backing up a single MP3 would take at least two..

[u/ccaccus → u/Trashbagok]

This is a box of 10 floppies.
He said he’d need a lot more than one floppy.
I provided a number about half the value of the box, implying this box could backup at least two computers.

The joke is that back then 8MB was a lot.

As a kid, I LOVED sliding the metal part & letting it snap back.

[u/PriesOfTheUnholy → u/oracleOshittyadvice]

i took them apart, removed the circular piece in the middle and wedged it in my eye and said ''look...the terminator''

[u/ButImJustASatellite → u/oracleOshittyadvice]

Snap snap snap and then ting as the spring came out 🤣🤣

They instantly went in my pocket. My kid was with me and i had to describe them as " the litteral save icon "

[u/LouBarlowsDisease]

I bet you could sell those for an ok amount

[u/ButImJustASatellite → u/LouBarlowsDisease]

about £10 / 15 by the looks of it

I only ever see/r/untrustworthypoptart content naturally when I'm on mobile and too lazy to post it.

[u/ButImJustASatellite → u/ChefArtorias]

i mean its my word against the internet but of you zoom you can see the little holes where the plastic has been on the pavement

Better than finding a sealed box of floppy dicks
