    Like you're too young to know cds are reflective on the back?

    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

    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.
