Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

rumor has it some or all of the united states nuclear arsenal is run off of floppy disks
I can't remember where, but I think I've seen that spun as a security benefit (probably facetiously). Simply because few people can access floppies anymore, especially 5 1/4". And there's probably like 20 people with 8 inch floppy drives.
Edit: oops... There is literally a comment in this thread saying the very same.
Buy a floppy drive off ebay == end up on a watchlist
