Are you kidding me? I remember rewinding DVDs like it was yesterday…

Probably the same young kids that REFUSE to buy oscillating doormats, or refill the blinker fluid on rentals. GenZ, I tells ya…

I remember the real big one for records.

Can someone explain?

I had one that could rewind multiple DVDs at once. What a fee saver that was.

It’s an obvious grift is what it is.

This is what I had to use to prevent the rental place from fining me for not fully retracting the magnetic spools on my optical media.

Looks like an actual device I had for applying labels to burnt CDs. You'd print the labels in your inkjet printer.

We couldn't afford that. We had to put our DVDs on our finger and spin them backwards

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.

Back in my day, we had wax cylinder rewaxers.

I had the 52x model.

We laugh, but this was an actual product.

The legacy lives on - nowadays I have to rewind my FLAC tracks.

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!

@Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world 2026-05-04 13:05
also kids dont know about the importance of blinker fluid for their car and need to always be reminded to buy some
-
@billwashere@lemmy.world 2026-05-04 16:14
You know if this was a real product somebody would have bought it.

Thanfuly, we were always poor as fuck, so this is very strange to actually see

@melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2026-05-04 12:14
I remember that! It was the first "roomba" I ever bought. Didn't work very good though.

Oooo, I'll take three!
