I remember when it was popular to tell people who got those new-fangled PCI-E cards when they only had AGP slots was to just cut the extra little bit off so it fit properly.

I feel like you could do something like that (I mean make a joke) with how M.2 ssds fit in the motherboard. The last time I read a manual for a PC part was after I got one of those (via recommendation for my build) and was confused where to put it. 🤣

You mean that strange gum stick that supposedly can store 8TB of data for the price of a solid weekly payment?
Yeah I usually just chew those. They are gum after all, right?
