Damn kids get off my lawn
The legacy lives on - nowadays I have to rewind my FLAC tracks.
It’s part of the experience, you either love it or hate it.
We laugh, but this was an actual product.
I have one of them and it’s not in deep storage either haha
I had one of those, it was a CD scratch remover / cleaner. It actually worked somewhat - you could restore some discs that were too scratched to use.
It was basically a leather (maybe) band wrapped around the spiral wheel that buffed the CD in a radial motion (center to outer) at the same time that the disc would slowly rotate around a spindle. You’d end up with radial buff-marks all the way around the CD, which looked a little bit similar to the pattern of the blue spiral thing in the center, coincidentally.
This version turns your copy of Shrek into a fucking Beyblade
We couldn’t afford that. We had to put our DVDs on our finger and spin them backwards
Those that could afford a Sharpie to rewind them had it good.
Oooo, I’ll take three!
You know if this was a real product somebody would have bought it.
it says right there, “dvd rewinder”
car downloader.
Back in my day, we had wax cylinder rewaxers.
The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing are a steampunkish punk band that actually put out a release on wax cylinder in 2010. It was one of the first new ones in decades and if I remember correctly it was quite the effort to get someone with a functional antique machine to put it back to production.
I had the 52x model.
We had one of those. But then there was the fire incident. I thought in my childhood innocence years that burning CDs was a metaphor
Never understood the point in this. When you flipped the DVD to the other side to play the other half it naturally rewound the first side. Such a scam.
…but then you still need to rewind the second side.
Duh.
also kids dont know about the importance of blinker fluid for their car and need to always be reminded to buy some
Thanfuly, we were always poor as fuck, so this is very strange to actually see
To be fair rewinding by hand was much faster by hand if you used your CD/DVD spindle to rewind in bulk!
Kids these days and their PLC NAND flash!
I remember that! It was the first “roomba” I ever bought. Didn’t work very good though.
