It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic

Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner. A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.

There’s no grooves on a CD tho???

Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that

As an employee at a tech company I can confirm this is 100% how it went

yall really need to read this 

Like Microsoft’s actual case is “we lose money because without him people would have thrown their old computer away and bought a new one from us” but they realise that sounds bad in this here age of climate change and because reasonable human beings feel like “hey e-waste is a huge problem and we have to find ways to reduce e-waste, including helping people extend the life of the devices they have” so they bullshitted in court and since no one in the room understands a fuck about computers they believed those restore discs actually had value as objects -_-

God, I fucking LOVE the color of the sky

k then but this is actually pretty awesome I mean look at all these DETAILS

Oh my god, that’s exactly what I feel like interacting with you! And everyone else you tagged, for that matter!

The word “swims” is the same upside down

smiws??

upside down, not backwards. silly.

Ethan. If you turn a w upside down you get an m.

oh i see what you mean. You’re kind of visualizing it like a flip side of a coin or card, take the word “swims” and turn it upside down by actually turning it 180 degrees. 

THATS WHAT UPSIDE DOWN MEANS

bella do me a favor and literally write down the word on a piece of paper and turn it upside down

Ironically enough, your sad, angry smiley face will also read the same when turned upside down…

god every time this meme comes up it gives me so much fucking whiplash

I got a smartphone brand new for $20, it’s not great and pretty far behind compared to the new phones but it was cheap. My friend in Columbia was able to buy a similar one for about $12. And also there is the fact that you can actually be middle class or even rich and end up as a refugee! Let’s say your town floods and you can only grab what you can fit in a single backpack of course you are going to take your damn phone! ESPECIALLY when your entire family is split up cause the evacuation happened out of nowhere and you want to be able to find them again.

Racist white people seem to think cell phones cost $5 million dollars and nobody but tech billionaires and other whites should own them.

Literally everyone knows to have a fully charged phone in an emergency situation, but once non westerners try to have a fully charged phone in a situation, it’s some sort of fucking luxury that should be condemned. Didn’t realize that disaster and upheaval came with a mandatory downgrade for your cell phone.

rebagel if the flu shot made you gay

This is why people keep saying we should eat the rich, just in case you were wondering
