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

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

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.

  1. Pick some friends that you like
  2. Download "I Am Never Going To Give You Up" by Rick Roll
  3. Put the song on the disk in very low quality .mp3
  4. Give the disks away as "fun, retro" drink coasters
  5. Watch as they use the coasters, unaware that you Rick Rollered them

this...is a great idea!
Especially since I have friends who will go to some effort to find out what's on the disk out of curiosity.

Lol whoops, I meant to give a wrong answer, my bad

Thank them for the retro-themed coaster set

"Omg, you 3D-printed a save icon!"

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I think we finally threw out the last of our diskettes about a decade ago - most were too corrupted to recover anything useful. I guess I could 3D print one now ...
