      This is 98% the right answer, but you drop them somewhere that keeps them intact, and believable enough so that people take them, and spend the rest of the weekend going to thrift stores trying to find an external floppy drive, and the next month trying to figure out how to get their iPhone to mount it.

        This but put your own floppy drives up on local listing sites for ridiculous prices. Lmao it’s almost too evil.

          That’s more like a scam than a prank

    Whatever you do, as soon as you crack it open get your nose right up there and inhale deeply.

    1. Pick some friends that you like
    2. Download “I Am Never Going To Give You Up” by Rick Roll
    3. Put the song on the disk in very low quality .mp3
    4. Give the disks away as “fun, retro” drink coasters
    5. Watch as they use the coasters, unaware that you Rick Rollered them

    Carry one in your pocket so you can whip it out in a threatening gesture… like in the film hackers

        If this is wrong, I’m not sure I want to be right.
