This is what you had to do back in the day if you were too poor to afford a CD-ROM drive for your PC.
The only person who probably could read a CD/DVD with their naked eye is Cyclops from X-Men. Still need his visor to control the laser’s power tho.
In contrast to me who only reads data gay off disks
Non-binary?
I remember seeing a book teaching you how to read closed letters through the envelope with your willpower. Maybe they are already a level higher 😆
the wonderful story of henry sugar?
That sounds close! I did research, and the book I remember was actually written by William W. Hewitt.
Envelopes, the ultimate encryption. Just break the adhesive on the back and use a similar adhesive to reclose it. Most people don’t pay attention to things, you could probably just use a gluestick lol
Bring back wax seals and signets
Ive done so before, but I rarely send letters now
Send more letters. On fancy heavy parchment. With illuminated letters on the first line, and your signature at the end in obnoxiously large cursive preceded by seven titles of escalating pretentiousness.
It’s the only way to really get their attention.
I shall, lol
The lick-able envelopes can be opened and resealed with the steam from a kettle.
So you’re saying that they’re tamper proof in the US?
Funny joke… but you do happen to be talking to a tea drinker who lives in the US… we have three kettles…
Is that what parent meant? Who doesn’t have a kettle?
I mean it’s not hidden just very small
Didn’t that teen drama Roswell High with the aliens have one of them “listen” to a cd?
Yeah, you can listen to CDs if you put them in an audio CD player but is just awful noise
You must be thinking of cassette tapes.
Easier to use the butterflies
C-x M-c M-butterfly
I bet Spock could do that if he felt like it. He just never felt like it.

They’re using them as mirrors
Woosh
Whooooshwith4os
Like you’re too young to know cds are reflective on the back?
CDs nuts on the back
Gottem
Jesus Christ man, they might have had a family before you destroyed their life
No just a cassette tape
Tape these … nuts…
Nahh mate. Woosh is a common phrase that is used when somebody missed the joke and took a joke seriously. ❤️
Just like in this post. Its obvious that they acutally use them as mirrors. And you pointing that out makes it seem you missed the joke. Hence why i commented woosh. As this is something you say in this situation.
It comes from the subreddit r/woosh
As in - “woosh, that was the sound of the joke that just flew over your head” - to point the poster to the fact that they missed the joke in the post or took a joke for a serious post
It’s obvious if you used a CD. CDs are becoming increasingly obsolete and there’s middle schoolers that never had to interact with a cd
Nah, we (hopefully) all know, which is why the meme is funny.
Yeah someone else already made that joke and now I’m reminding them of their chronic back pain
Actually if you have some experience at burning CDs you can tell if the data burned is music or images or video. This is very practical! Unfortunately contrary to what some people might claim, it’s impossible to tell how much data has been written or if a writing session is closed or not. Now you have a full picture.
Oh yeah you can see the different textures on a CD that has written data, but it’s likely they’re using them as mirrors and I think that’s clever
It’s impossible to use CDs as mirrors. This is due to bright lasers used for burning. Wait – actually it can be done, but only with pressed CDs, not CD-Rs.
Does the laser burn your eyes 🤣. Im recalling my experience with CDs from decades ago (both from CDs from the era now and me interacting with CDs back then)
It’s possible that the wavelength used to burn it was invisible to your eyes, but that’s not universally the case. Please be careful when handling CDs.
That’s why I scratch CDs to neutralize them
That could work!
