I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only) (feddit.org)

I think we finally threw out the last of our diskettes about a decade ago - most were too corrupted to recover anything useful. I guess I could 3D print one now ...

I actually bought some online about a year ago because I’m doing some retro stuff. I even got a usb floppy drive.

I probably still have a USB floppy drive in the Bin of Peripherals. Haven't really actively worked with floppies since 2012 though.
