I wonder what “limited lifetime warranty” means.
Label in sharpie as “Bitcoin password” and superglue to the sidewalk in a busy area. Watch people try to pick up.
This is 98% the right answer, but you drop them somewhere that keeps them intact, and believable enough so that people take them, and spend the rest of the weekend going to thrift stores trying to find an external floppy drive, and the next month trying to figure out how to get their iPhone to mount it.
Write MP3s to them and use them to play one song in a modern car.
(I saw a video of someone playing a clip of music using a USB floppy drive)
- Pick some friends that you like
- Download “I Am Never Going To Give You Up” by Rick Roll
- Put the song on the disk in very low quality .mp3
- Give the disks away as “fun, retro” drink coasters
- Watch as they use the coasters, unaware that you Rick Rollered them
Dude. RAID.
Hand them to zoomers as 3d printed save buttons
Get a few suitcases at Goodwill or something, stick a floppy and some ‘redacted’ papers in a red envelope, leave them in random places around town and observe what happens. Make sure to wear a trench coat and sunglasses when you ‘forget’ them at each drop point.
Floppy disks are a way to install linux on your microwave try a distro like arch linux it’s microwave safe
Start a porn collection of high quality pictures. Be sure to zip span them across all disks… all 1 photo
Write your own copy of Windows 10, minus the bloat. You’ll probably have 2 floppies left
With those in hand, start waving them around maniacally and shout “WHY IS IT CALLED A FLOPPY IF IT’S SO DAMN HARD!?”
Download a car
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.
Sell them as 3D printed save icons.
Whatever you do, as soon as you crack it open get your nose right up there and inhale deeply.
Label one “Important Documents” and then attach it to your refrigerator door using a fridge magnet
Carry one in your pocket so you can whip it out in a threatening gesture… like in the film hackers
