CDs are too small, so yeah. DVDs on the other hand? Optical disks are the only practical media that is EMP-proof. After the apocalypse, I'll still have all my coding projects, thank you very much.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

They do degrade naturally, so I hope you are redoing this every decade or so

I still see blank CDs and DVDs for sale sometimes. Makes me wonder who is out there using them.
On work we accumulate a wealth of pesonal notes, forms, links, articles etc. We are strictly forbidden to use USB-Sticks, but the DVD-Burner are still working...
My last DVD was a Knoppix though, just for the fun of it.

Mdisks are a viable offline long term backup solution, and cheaper to get started with than tape drives.
I was hoping for it tho.
I did know. It was 2 years ago when me and my neighbour pranked our neighborhood grandma by burning shitty music and leaving the CD in the mail.
CDs are geat, still burn them all the time. I have a Jellyfin server that hosts my digital music collection, but sometimes I may be going on a long drive without internet and CDs are unmatched for that. No battery, no internet requirement, and hold hundreds of hours of music in a a small book in my backseat.

I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.
Work with medical data in Germany and you'll burn CDs every day, probably for the next 50 years.

I still burn blu ray M-discs
Bullshit. Just two weeks ago I burned an audio CD as a gift for someone who enjoys listening in their car or on their player in the bathroom. Not everything needs to be always online streaming or has the ability to read SD cards or USB sticks.
Burning a FLAC and hearing on a HiFi system with nice cable headphones sounds so much better than a garbled compressed audio stream that gets recompressed to be send over Bluetooth.
I’m gonna burn a bunch of music to cd this week just because I can. Might even archive some movies.
High school kid: Burned a what?
i sure was fucking hoping it was though
I burned a few last week
I have a whole cake of 100 blank DVDs unopened from 10 years ago. Been looking for a reason for them. Maybe make a post apocalyptic art piece.

Never burned a CD in my life. And now I never will, just to spite you
