Burning CD’S aside, does she think we did this to get a text? 🤣🤣 this shit was before mobile phone were a thing, and when you had one as a teen you still couldn’t afford to text for hours on end
I burnt a CD yesterday.

Starcraft 1 - 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333(for some reason all 3s worked)
For StarCraft, the installer would do some math on all but the last number, then see if the result of that matched the last number to decide if the key was valid. So you could enter random numbers, then just retry while changing the last digit and guess a valid key in max 10 tries
Or 11 - the last digit could be X (for ten) if they were using the modulo 11 check digit system.
Not with fire. With concentrated light. We had to focus on that shit.
My.father burned thousands of CDs and DVDs to coax the old gods into giving him money. It took him 5 years to realize he was literally breaking even wasting hours a day. We had a hell of a dvd collection tho
That’s definitely peak dad energy. My dad would burn literally everything we rented, and later got through the mail from Netflix, even if he didn’t watch or care about the movie.
I think it just makes them feel powerful, rubbing it in the FBI warnings face.
No, but literally burning them was fun because of the colorful flames and smoke. And the burning lungs.
Spicy rainbow fires are the best.
I have not yet met a young person who doesn’t know what a CD is. I feel like the internet has pranked me.
It was them, wasn’t it? The kids. They started this rumor did they not? They’re laughing at us right now, aren’t they? They’re reading this comment and they know I fell for it.
But if you ask them what burning a cd is I bet they think it’s setting them on fire, not writing data to the disk.
The other day my cousin asked what blu-ray was. I felt so old.
I got a usb cd burner online for $15 recently
What are the price of disks now?
I don’t know, I still have about 30 spare from the turn of the century.
I keep finding unused packs of 100 for like a buck at thrift stores I could make a few thousand copies of some b list Ashton Kutcher movie then shingle my house with them.
Idk I didn’t buy any hahaha
$15 for 50 DVD-Rs on Amazon
I mean your laptop… oh right they can’t do that, not anymore.
Ahh, all you sweet summer children and your fancy CD burners and MP3 players…
I remember the OG “mixtapes”. Sitting on our bedroom floors for hours with a 9V 6 transistor radio and listening to the local rock and roll station hoping to hear your favorite group’s new song being announced by the DJ so you could press the play and record buttons on that cheap portable cassette player to record the latest songs. All just so you could have a shitty mono recording to listen to.
If your Girlfriend gave you a tape filled with all her favorite music, it was like both of you were half ways down the aisle and headed for marriage. It was that serious.
The secrets will not be exposed… Unless you are willing to join the black parade…
I had this application that would print a CD shaped stickers. I could upload and design any background, and add text with any font. It was when computers peaked.
Next tell her that that text we were waiting on was made with only numbers on our phones. Her brain my come out her nose.
I remember burning cds with songs I got from limewire back in the day. Takes me back

I don’t know why we called it burning. Fire was not involved. We could have just called it “copying.”
From the Wikipedia article.
A CD recorder writes data to a CD-R disc by pulsing its laser to heat areas of the organic dye layer. The writing process does not produce indentations (pits); instead, the heat permanently changes the optical properties of the dye, changing the reflectivity of those areas.
I still burn dvds with movies I like for them ☺️
