Only one of those is the global symbol for saving one's work, though. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Poor CDs.

That corner cutout is grossly exagerrated. In the actual floppy disk (which is also not floppy anymore) the cutout is tiny.

It's grossly exaggerated because it was designed when we had UX designers

It has to look okay all the way down to 8x8 pixels

Justice for the 5.25" floppy disk! It had an actual hole inside, which would fit your finger! You could see it's a disk and not a weird shaped square box, and you could hear it's rotating.

Ah, if you're saying it should have been designed based off 5.25" I'm down :)

back in the ol' 8bit commodore days, we had one of these gadgets so we could flip 'em over and use the other side

good ol capitalism, it’s cheaper to just make all discs double sided and market some as single sided and the others as double for more price …

the disk is still floppy, it just has a hard outer shell for protection.

Only in the west. In China they use an SD card.

Wha-

Floppies are thinner than CDs.

They're just not nudists.

I have altered the context of the joke, pray I do not alter it further.

@sp3ctr4l
I'm sorry, I'm bad about humor going over my head 😅
