I’m wondering if we’re at the stage where the joke is missed because the average age of users never experienced the CD.

It’s probably confusing people already who never rented VHS tapes

I’m of the age where I can remember having a load of rewritable cds and DVDs plus those things that supposedly cleared up scratches now those were a scam too.

Usually the home versions were scams, but there were better quality ones out there that would remove just a little bit of the top layer, making a smooth finish again. Although deep scratches obviously couldn’t be repaired in this case.

We used toothpaste and water to “cure” CD and DVD scratches lol. I swear, it (seemed like it) worked! 😄

I had one that was a hand crank thing. It actually worked pretty well. Whenever I thought that was it for my Diablo II CD, I would run it though there and Presto: good as new.

My Xbox 1 also had this weird thing where it sounded like it was fucking eating the CD too. If it got too grumpy we would use the crank and boom: back to teabagging people in Halo.

I used toothpaste and it never seems to completely work

Doesn’t the fediverse userbase trend towards being made up of millennials? I’m on the older end of gen Z myself and grew up with CDs and DVDs, so I imagine most people here are familiar with the technology.

I’m on the younger end of gen z and still know what the are, never actually use them but we have lots. I feel most of us know what old stuff like CDs are because of the Internet tho.
