Colin HoadShow your age if you can spot what's wrong with this photo 😅
...some quality replies so far 😄
fuzzface@colinhoad You need an eight inch floppy that has been tacked to a cork board.
Linker3000@colinhoad No proper label. Sheesh.
outstack@colinhoad The write protect tab is in the wrong position.

@ricardoharvin argh! Sorry, I've been trying to remember to do that but posted this one in haste and forgot... apologies
Milcom Miasma@colinhoad Hmmm. I *had* my WordStar document all done... Now I can't read the disk, I don't know what happened. LOL.
sezduckIt’s a cute fridge magnet version of that icon we click to save our files 🥰
Misuse Case@sezduck @colinhoad @ygalanter You young whippersnapper why back in my day you had to put that icon in a slot in the computer and we walked uphill both ways to school in the snow.
B.J.Smith v5.1Is that where I left my magnet?
Rv2mars@colinhoad magnet erase flopy 🤣
aran
@arancaytar @colinhoad I thought that solution was reserved for CD ROMs
permacultureandpolitics@arancaytar @colinhoad I was going to say should have used nails, but hadn’t thought to take a picture of a hammer, too. You win!
Linh Pham@colinhoad Something is high density, but it's probably not the floppy pictured 😂

dfreniche@colinhoad that rooftop in the photo does not comply with any fire safety code.

@colinhoad it’s a storage upgrade device. You get a whole 1.44mb additional capacity! One of the greatest inventions since the phonograph!
Goran@colinhoad Someone 3D printed the save icon........
mjfgates@colinhoad If you write on a disk with pen, the ink smears like crazy. Get a proper label.
Andrew Smith@colinhoad The ‘e’ of “erase” is lower case. Sloppy work.
Kyozou@colinhoad It should be write-protected. Someone needs to slide that tab.
McDyer@colinhoad I gasped audibly.
Roger Ap Gwillian@colinhoad It's OK. They made a backup copy on the Xerox.
Alexandre Sieira
Threefromleith@colinhoad Almost as good as when customers used to staple their 5.25" floppies to the correspondence when submitting it to us for processing....
Or photocopied a floppy & sent us the sheet of paper when we asked them to send us a copy of the disk. 😂
@goo Haha that's priceless!

Kit Bashir@colinhoad @GossiTheDog the magnet is over the hub, it wouldn’t really stick to the fridge through a disc of aluminium due to the something something eddy currents maxwell equation magnetism is fkn weird ok
Rorzer@colinhoad the magnetic poetry is anachronistic
Whovian76@colinhoad I feel old because I get the reference and I am by no means a computer expert...lol
Alex Gallagher@colinhoad Is that a magnet?
トネ - Tone 🏴☠️🇵🇸 🐧🤘 とね@colinhoad Nothing, as this is fridge magnet now 😆
Sixof123@colinhoad it wasn’t magnetic

@colinhoad This image is cursed & I love it so much 🤣
There was actually an interesting video on this a few years back by content creator Nostalgia Nerd.

"For as long as I can remember, I've known never to mix floppy disks with magnets. It's common sense isn't it? But what I'd really like to know, is how susceptible the data on disks really are to magnetic forces."

@colinhoad I audibly gasped.

Michael 🏳️🌈@colinhoad I did the same but differently: pinned a condom with a needle to my board 🤪
Frank Reiff@colinhoad I’m cringing just seeing this. Do you KNOW how long it took to magnetize each bit on those things!!
@colinhoad .. still I remember saving out my Basic programs on a cassette hoping that it would in fact be able to restore it after I switched my Atari 600 XL.. so floppy disks in hard plastic squares were pretty fancy.
MDMRN@colinhoad @errol * Me looking at this picture *
Oh no! 
Errol@mdmrn @colinhoad Floppy disks were so fragile, I'm shocked we trusted those for anything, to be honest. :D
Aaron 🍞🏳️🌈 
@colinhoad Oh No.... they forgot to mark it read-only...
Barry@colinhoad The magnet holding it to the fridge has erased the disk. That’s how we quickly erased those disks.
XorOwl@colinhoad you could fart in the direction of a floppy and it would corrupt.
This is overkill
This is overkill
Oleg "Ole" R. 🇱🇹🇨🇦🇺🇦@colinhoad That a nice clean 0ed disk you got there...

@colinhoad reminded me of how our computer engineers always took buses and avoided trolley buses and trams like plague. XD

@colinhoad 🤣🤣 So much for “do not erase”! That magnet will do that job nicely! See, there’s this thing about magnetic floppy disks…
Sparkle TeaI had those poetry magnets, does that count?
Belghast 
@colinhoad that photo is really crooked, they should fix that. They also seem to have never broken apart the magnetic poetry.
Midtown Masochist 🐻 (RB-050) 🐷@colinhoad
Oh. My. Gods. 🤣
Oh. My. Gods. 🤣
Adam Schmidt@colinhoad Not only did I encounter a place where it happened, it was a 5 1/4" floppy.
froozy@colinhoad Wait..is this not a stiffy? Why is it being called a floppy??! Omg have I been wrong my entire life??
Topslakr@colinhoad Someone 3D printed a save icon? What a waste of plastic...
Chris_Swan
flere-imsaho 🇺🇦@colinhoad roofing on the photo is pretty outdated.
Dan Harper@colinhoad I totally know what's wrong. That's a beer coaster, not a fridge magnet.
