Writable CDs don't store data on microscopic holes, they instead have a layer of pigment that changes color when heated by a laser.

"The writing process does not produce indentations (pits);" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-R#:~:text=The%20writing%20process%20does%20not%20produce%20indentations%20(pits)%3B

The left has misunderstood what my intention was in posting this meme. I am taking (sic) about the road warrior collapse that has already begun because of the policy's (sic) of The Great Reset.

You guys want to bring down civilization so I just wanted to warn you. Good luck…
