I no longer have any device capable of playing or even reading CDs, but I still have mine on the wall as if I built a shrine to how much of an old fuck I am 😄
Rip, upload, seed forever. It’s the only way to repent.
R’amen!
Hey your “Body Count • Born Dead” case is upside-down.
Yup!
So’s my Ultima Online: The Second Age case, Beatles - 1, Frank Zappa - Over-nite Sensation, my Jesus Christ Superstar (movie version) soundtrack and my promotional CD from a local disco band called Boogieknights I stumbled (in more than one sense of the word) on during a pubcrawl many years ago 😁
Is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Hmmm no foolin’?
I still have mine at my parent’s house. Probably a mix of music and PS2 games.
Music and PC games in my case, pun intended 😁
That’s the original Fallout from 1997 near the bottom 😁
Recently I went and bought a vinyl, cd, cassette player. I busted the cd wallet out of the closet and bought a bunch of cassettes and vinyls at the flea market. It makes listening to music more of an experience, instead of just background noise on my phone
I actively use mine at work.
Your wall? Yeah, those are really handy for keeping the rain out of your keyboard 😉
I work in an area that doesn’t allow phones or anything.
Would that happen to be a numbered area? Perhaps one in Nevada with a number larger than 50? 😉
I wish. Nowhere near that cool.
I feel personally attacked.
Then get your prostate checked you old fuck.
(i need to as well tho)
Like medically or just for funsies?
First one then t’other.
I just learned from my doctor that you can poop in a cup and mail it off somewhere instead of getting the finger up the butt. Yay! Now I can procrastinate and not do something only mildly unpleasant instead of not doing something miserable.
Wait no shit?
(insert joke here but seriously)
Yeah. Basically, she said finger-up-butt is good for 10 years but poop-in-cup is good for only 3 years, and if they find indications of a problem in the cup-o-poop then you have to go get finger-up-butt anyway. Still worth it in my book.
Do I send it someplace in particular? Or just ‘to whom it may concern?’
Back in the '90s you could apparently send a letter to Michael Jordan by just addressing it “Michael Jordan” and nothing else. I think the poop cup works kind of the same.
Note that I am not telling you to mail your poop to Michael Jordan.
This is why they should put the warning at the beginning of the spell.
I have this haircut still.
Dude I kept up the style LONG after it was no longer the style of the time. I put so many lives in danger driving my Volvo station wagon 75mph flipping through all of my scratched cds in a massive booklet
I remember having a cd player that could play mp3 cds in my car, that was great. Music for hours with no skips or having to swap anything
Fancy people had like a 10 cd changer in the trunk
I drive a 25-year-old car and the only reason I’m able to play music from my phone on the car’s sound system is that it was built to accommodate a 6-disc CD changer in the trunk. For $50 I was able to hook up an accessory that plugs into the changer port and fools the car stereo into thinking the audio signal from the phone is actually coming from a CD changer. Unfortunately my newest phone of course has no 3.5mm audio jack and the USB-C adapter has like a third the maximum volume of a normal plug. Oh well, better for my hearing at least.
Under the passenger seat
I still have that, still rocking mp3s
Oh god. I’m the grandpa now
It’ll happen to you!
You just quoted a line from an episode that first aired last century.
Last millennium actually.
Someone saying “the 1900s” probably makes me feel older than anything.
I drew all over my CD wallet with a white out pen. Because that’s what you did with things that were made of that binder material.
I had a big cassette organizer. Later CD wallets.
CDs were so much better than cassettes. But as soon as I could get an MP3 player in the mid 1990s I was over CDs forever. The first car MP3 player I had was a dock for a computer hard drive, it had a faceplate that displayed file info and a knob to select songs/folders.
We got a first gen iPod when we leased a New Beatle convertible in… whatever year that must have been. It still had an actual spinning hdd inside with, I want to say, 30gb of storage. I regret tossing it eventually. Those are collectors items now.
That sounded high so I looked it up. It was 5gb! Seemed like so much at the time. Of course I’m so old I remember my first computer had a 200mb hard drive and I wondered how anyone could fill up so much space then.
Honestly 5 gb is thousands of songs, especially if they’re not FLAC / mp3 320.
It won’t be your entire library if you’re a music buff but it’s days worth of music.
Cassette organizer? I just put em in a stack or on a shelf lol
I had a double-sided suitcase type thing with slots for the cassette cases, it must have held 50 at least. That was on my car
And a wooden rack in the house that held dozens. I still have it and the cassettes in a closet somewhere.
I never lived through the era of car cassettes. I just have a deck at home
mine were in the visor
How dare you make me remember these things and realize how old I am!
I recall being told that CDs were bad to keep in cars because of the heat.
I always kept my CD wallet (a small one with 10 discs that I’d switch out every now and then) under the seat and never had a problem. Before I had that, I had a CD case that kept maybe 20 discs in their jewel cases that I kept behind the driver’s seat, and no issues there either (though that was MUCH harder to swap discs while on the road). I also had a visor holder that I later used in the motorhome with MP3 CDs (now I could take my whole collection!).
In the early 90s, I paid $300 for a very basic in dash Sony CD player with output for only two speakers. Somewhat early adopter tax.
I hope the asshole that stole my CD wallet from my truck years ago is in a better place in their life now, but I’m still sore about it… Fucker…
Happened to a family member, he was depressed for weeks. Like hundreds of dollars in those cases.
The only thing that makes me feel old here is that I don’t think anyone remembers what the title of this post is referencing, the war of Man vs. Machine…
Literal Roman DVD goddess.
i still have a wallet in my car with my discs. I dread the day I have to give up this car.
Well, I have not thrown them away so, they are still in those huge cases.
Reminds me of when I was going through stuff in storage years ago and found my box of music and game CDs. I realized I could just download anything I wanted from that box and tossed them. Felt like a waste, but I didn’t want to deal with finding someone who might actually want them.
