I wonder what “limited lifetime warranty” means.
Label in sharpie as “Bitcoin password” and superglue to the sidewalk in a busy area. Watch people try to pick up.
This is 98% the right answer, but you drop them somewhere that keeps them intact, and believable enough so that people take them, and spend the rest of the weekend going to thrift stores trying to find an external floppy drive, and the next month trying to figure out how to get their iPhone to mount it.
This but put your own floppy drives up on local listing sites for ridiculous prices. Lmao it’s almost too evil.
That’s more like a scam than a prank
¿Por que no los dos?
Alternatively, you could write
- “Someone help me I’m trapped in here!”
- “Nuclear attack scenarios”
- “You put this disk here to save your life, do not ignore”
Stuck to the fridge using a hard drive magnet!
Label one “Important Documents” and then attach it to your refrigerator door using a fridge magnet
Click on them to save your files.
Just carry one around with you and whenever something important happens or you are about to do something risky, pull it out, press it with your finger and loudly say “Save”.
Edit: Bonus points for carrying a huge cardboard mouse pointer to click with.
Edit 2: I really should read all the replies before starting to type.

Wow, those floppy drives are really singin’. Heheh
Had no idea you could actually do this.
How’d I know it would be action retro
Carry one in your pocket so you can whip it out in a threatening gesture… like in the film hackers
Or throw a diskette in the trash while being chased by the police, then yell “HACK THE PLANET!” from the back of the police car.
Righteous hack!
Whatever you do, as soon as you crack it open get your nose right up there and inhale deeply.
Plastic offgassing mmmhmmhm
Delicious cancer
Get a few suitcases at Goodwill or something, stick a floppy and some ‘redacted’ papers in a red envelope, leave them in random places around town and observe what happens. Make sure to wear a trench coat and sunglasses when you ‘forget’ them at each drop point.
Floppy disks are a way to install linux on your microwave try a distro like arch linux it’s microwave safe
I cook Arch btw

Contact TDK about extending that limited lifetime warranty.
Put all your precious documents on the disks and then rub a magnet on each one of them to make sure they are properly energized. The stronger the magnet the better.
Load virus on to banking system to embezzle fraction of cents on each financial operation.
Don’t forget to make up a Da Vinci virus to sink ships and blame it on hackers in case shit hits the fan.
Write your own copy of Windows 10, minus the bloat. You’ll probably have 2 floppies left
With those in hand, start waving them around maniacally and shout “WHY IS IT CALLED A FLOPPY IF IT’S SO DAMN HARD!?”
