I didn't know it was the last time, and I don't know when exactly it was, but I do know what it was that I burnt:
A Linux install CD

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

If we include DVDs I probably put a Linux distro iso on one in 2010 or 2011. CDs? Maybe a CD I made for a road trip on 2009 or 2010.
I don't burn CDs, I buy music on pre-owned CDs (Best Of albums, etc.) and rip them to my computer. Cheaper than some of the online music stores where you download the music files.

Bullshit. Just two weeks ago I burned an audio CD as a gift for someone who enjoys listening in their car or on their player in the bathroom. Not everything needs to be always online streaming or has the ability to read SD cards or USB sticks.
Burning a FLAC and hearing on a HiFi system with nice cable headphones sounds so much better than a garbled compressed audio stream that gets recompressed to be send over Bluetooth.
Mdisks are a viable offline long term backup solution, and cheaper to get started with than tape drives.
I'm baffled at how many people here still burn cds.....
i sure was fucking hoping it was though
Joke's on you. I have multiple spindles of blank optical media I use regularly. I am not putting a ODE on my Saturn unless I absolutely have to.
I doubt it. Although, I imagine I may have recorded over my last tape.
CDs are too small, so yeah. DVDs on the other hand? Optical disks are the only practical media that is EMP-proof. After the apocalypse, I'll still have all my coding projects, thank you very much.

I still see blank CDs and DVDs for sale sometimes. Makes me wonder who is out there using them.
People who still own a PS1/PS2 having a blast on their jailbroken consoles

I'm going to go burn one for the last time just to subvert this meme.
I microwaved a few from 2008 last month. They smell of cancer if you do that though.
I did know. It was 2 years ago when me and my neighbour pranked our neighborhood grandma by burning shitty music and leaving the CD in the mail.
I was hoping for it tho.
