Satire no?
Because it is hard to put there Jesus. He, same as floppy, died to became a save icon. /s
It is only mid 2020s and people already asking such questions. Imagine late 2030s or even 2040s.
Imagine we were dead
What the fuck is VR? Is that like brain diving?
In the UK the image on signs for speed cameras is a old 19th century bellows style camera

Nice try Satan, but my start up is building ads into car start ups. You can’t switch gears until the ad is done.
My startup is building ads into ad startups. You can’t ad before you finish an ad.
No pls, i have a shareholder that needs a new boat
Maybe it’s time to change the save icon into a USB drive.
These days I’m starting to see more and more of an arrow pointing down towards a hard drive, a file folder or, an outbox bin. I feel like that’s a suitable replacement.
Yeeees. This.
Is it really so bad if it’s just a legacy icon?
If your discord server is inundated with people who have no idea which one of these damn buttons save, yeah. I saw the same thing happen on a PHPBB in 2010. To many, that icon means nothing.
Not unless you’re ready to change “hung up” to “tapped end.”

God damnit, I payed four dollars for that can of sugar.
Propaganda here boys. Japanese aren’t having kids, there is no youth.
I saw plenty of couples in Japan with several kids when I visited tourist sites. Of course, there could be a bit of a survivor bias there…
[I/O] instead?
You think it’s bad that the save icons have floppy disks?
A while ago, I was wondering why the usual icon for “database” (upright cylinder divided into multiple horizontal slices) looks like the original flowchart symbol for drum memory, further refined to look like a 1960s hard drive, you know, one of those washing machine sized units. But then again, if you have a serious database, chances are it’s running on some several layers deep virtualised replica of a 1960s system
I thought that represented money
Maybe it needs to be a 5.25" floppy
Why not clay tablets?
Programs using this icon should restrict their file size to 1.44 MB. Everything else is just false advertising.
Maybe it’s a super disk LS-240. They were up 240 MB.
Could be a zipdisk! Those where up to what 750megs?
I had one of those beast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_drive Probably still have it somewhere among the dust.
I had my best porn on one of those as a youth (because it meant nothing visible on my computer unless I wanted it to be) and then the drive died one day. RIP hours of downloading, plus all my games and music on my more legit disks.
Does it click?
I replaced my jazz drive when burners became more popular and cheaper. I could buy 100 cdrs for the price of a zip disk. I only had a zip drive to begin with so I could work on my high school projects in computer graphics class from home (ah, going back and forth between Windows and Mac in 1999… it sucked)
I remember the smell of a new pack of discs.
Yeah, Zip disks suuuucked. I always had to carry two for redundancy because they failed to read so often. Even having every second or third CD burn fail, because you looked at it wrong, was more reliable than Zip disks.
Zip disks were originally launched with capacities of 100 MB, then 250 MB, and finally 750 MB.
Congrats, you win! 🥳
Ironic, since Japan is one of the last holdouts requiring the use of floppy drive for use in government processes.
No, Japan has ended the usage of floppy disks last year, besides a single case relating to vehicle recycling.
Skeptic, clicked, confirmed. Holly shit! Japan is using floppies in 21st century
When you use old tech like that, sometimes it becomes a security feature.

Probably just ironic humour.
People in Japan still have access to search engines and have brains.

Remember the cinnamon challenge? It was just like a handful of weirdos doing it and in international news, they said it was average Americans because of our underfunded education system.
have brains
Shoot, that’s an understatement. The Japanese people I’ve read online and met in person tended to be a whole lot more educated than the average Joe. Their education system seems pretty solid.
Does Japan not have the fervent anti intellectualism that we have in the US with our right wing? And it’s not in bed with racism to fuck public education together?
No doubt they’re somewhere, but I’ve never come across those people online or in person.
Theres something about this sentiment that slightly scares my very soul.
