In contrast to me who only reads data gay off disks
Easier to use the butterflies
This is what you had to do back in the day if you were too poor to afford a CD-ROM drive for your PC.
The only person who probably could read a CD/DVD with their naked eye is Cyclops from X-Men. Still need his visor to control the laser's power tho.
Didn't that teen drama Roswell High with the aliens have one of them "listen" to a cd?
Can somebody tell me where the battlestar Galactica is parked? I just hope I get there in time.
They're using them as mirrors
Like you're too young to know cds are reflective on the back?
CDs nuts 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.
