Floppy disks are like Jesus, in a 1000 years no one will remember them
iampurplelungs
Both were created by a virgin
ordo
Floppy disks are true though, their achievements not the figment of someones imagination!
Nuuskamuikkunen
But floppy disks existed.
dubone99
And like Jesus, floppy disks never coming back except to help launch nuclear war.

I am telling you, floppy disks are gonna come back one day.
HumfreeBugart
They said that about Jesus, 2000 years later???
emepol
It's funny how newer generations know that icon means "save", but they never actually used them.
youlikemymanboobs
And you heathen keep streaming videos instead of saving files.
Christianabanana
And now both do absolutely nothing to stop corruption
fenzo
Ooooooooooooooooooooooh shit!
mediaboy911
It's the admin's job to fix corrupted files. The floppy saves backups for the inevitable crash.
svga
appropriate that people nowadays know what it symbolizes but know nothing about what it is

I think DVD-RAM can do something like that.

Some early CD drives were caddy-load as well, albeit at a different standard that didn't let the disc spin so fast.

It's weird how people who never used them never question the floppy disc icon and just know the save icon because it's how they were taught.
bennettleben
I was born after floppy disks never used one never seen an actual disk, saw a reader though, I know what they are

What would be a proper - and more modern - save icon? A cloud, maybe?
FisterRobot0
That's basically what OneDrive uses.
twirling
An ssd
Kythyria
I've seen arrow pointing at grey cuboid, filing cabinet, or folder icon.
Tomlolo
A cloud, many games have already adapted the cloud as a saving icon, actually.
ninjagaidensigma
A hard disk icon still. Basically any grey square will do.
Therearetoomanyusernames
A CD maybe. Now a USB or cloud.
FernandoRumdebum
A sweaty-browed teenager, clearly 12h into a dissertation, wiping their sweat and heaving a sigh of relief. Might be a bit complex...

Never forget. Unless they're more than 1.44MB or near a strong magnet.

I will always have fond memories of installing games from 15+ floppies
AstartesLibrarius
Yes.

Occasionally I measure my internetspeed in Floppies/second. I am now going at 5Fp/s. Hot damn.

My crummy rural internet speed just became vastly more satisfying with this dose of perspective. Hot damn! Suck it, 90s me!

What kind of games did you play that took up 15+ floppies? I've only had games with max four floppies. Two was normal though.
saltflakes
I had Doom and Quake on stacks of floppies - more like 30 though
cogs
I've installed entire OS's from floppies. I've loaded games from cassette tape. I've even hand-coded the "Game of the Week" from ByteBuyer.

Dating myself here, but my first computer had a cassette tape drive. Heh. I remember upgrading from my TRS 80 to a Commodore 64.

One of the saddest IT-thing I saw: Sales guy installing Windows NT on a laptop without CD-Rom. A stack of ~30 discs.

Installed OS/2 2.0 (yea baby!) from floppy. 19 disks and it frequently bombed toward the end. Wasted a lot of my life doing that. Ugh.
BangForTheBuck
I had a spanned set of floppies with win 95. The box fell over in the middle of an installation. They were not labelled.

Yeah and on #14 its bad and gives you some A:\ is not accessible nonsense
