Honestly so tired of this kind of post

It's getting to the point where I can't help but roll my eyes sometimes.

The fact that so many computers don't even have disc drives anymore almost makes this point completely moot. Most people use smart devices or radios for music now. For me, I like using them because I'm still salty about a crappy CD player that I used to have that loved scratching the ever-loving shit out of CDs. I had a Walkman that used to do that too.

Did anyone ever bother teaching these kids how to do this?

If you don't have a CD player or even a disc drive, you're probably not going to prioritize learning how to use a disc drive to rip a CD. I bet most of the people who laughed at this don't know how to put information on a floppy disc, but that's fine apparently. It's almost like technology ages over time and becomes less popular.
