One year my school had a 3.5 inch floppy disk as part of the school supplies we were supposed to get. Mine was orange and you can tell a kid not to use it as a fidget toy, but they're absolutely gonna use it as a fidget toy. I don't think a single disk survived that year.
I also remember when my school got a fancy new "computer lab" that had all the colorful iMacs. There were still a few of the beige machines that read off of 7 inch floppies kicking around also.
It’s in the name. You just use a match.
I tried that when I was 4 or so. When they said they're burning it, I wanted to try it too.
I used to rip and burn CDs all the time when I was a teenager, and in truth.... I dont know.
I don't know how film is developed and nobody ever made fun of me for not knowing.
Have never burned CDs, but I assume I would take our CD player (which i'm pretty sure has a burning mode), plug it in to my computer, and look up "how to burn CDs"
You need a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, or DVD-RW drive in your computer, or externally to write to any of those formats. A DVD-RW can write, or burn (because the laser is literally burning the information onto the disk) to all four formats of disk.
This is fake because "burning" is a CD specific term, and no real Gen Z would know that you "burn" a CD to put music on it.
Most would probably just assume it works like a USB stick or any regular digital storage format.
It's like how a hilariously large amount of people don't know what the origin of "mixtape" is. They think its just a word that defines music mixes, because no one knows what a cassette player is anymore, or that people actually used to create and sell mixtapes.
I used CloneCD. It had an icon of a sheep. Because Dolly.
Surprised they even know what a music CD is.

Maybe its just the generation z in me but how did people burn CDs? Like how did you just get a blank CD and put songs on it?

There are people alive that don't know how to burn CDs. I'm fucking old.
I still do it, granted I had to get an external CD drive to do so, but still. You put the blank one in and click "Burn CD" in your Zune software, it isn't that hard.
