I wonder what "limited lifetime warranty" means.
Throw them away and find a shugart compatible disk
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
Toast them and have them with PB&J, obviously
open it in a non-destructive manner, switch every read/write lock slider, put it back together.
Whatever you do, as soon as you crack it open get your nose right up there and inhale deeply.
Inserting your floppy is a time honored tradition. Have a few too many beers, and give it a go. You have 10 chances to succeed, it seems.
Flopp flopp flopp flooooooooopp
World's best swap drive.
Throw them around your office like frisbees.
Tape the other hole and format them in DD (0,72MB) format.

Probably not the same terms as when they made the disks, but it's their terms on limited warranty now.
Also, hand the disks to anyone asking you for your email for marketing purposes. Tell them all your information is on the disk.
Throw them at junior sysadmins like shuriken.
Write “If found, please return to Minot AFB, ND c/o Duane” on them & scatter them in various airport restrooms across the US.
Label one “Important Documents” and then attach it to your refrigerator door using a fridge magnet
Attach one to a light pole with a paper that says "Government access codes"
Glue two on top of your flip flops. You now unlocked the floppy flip flops
If they have pics of John Kerry, they can be flip flopping floppy flip flops
I wonder what “limited lifetime warranty” means.
It probably means you can complain any time about a manufacturing defect, but not anything else.
Anyway, the terms should be printed somewhere on the box or in a paper inside.
Be wild! Copy that floppy!
Epoxy them into coasters and sell them as save icon coasters.
Combine them into a blazing fast 14.4 MB RAID 0.
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
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.
Run Doom on them?
Don't copy that floppy.
Buy doom on steam, download and backup the install files on the floppy
