61 things to do with an AOL CD


Recommended Posts

1. Handy dandy coaster tray!

2. Attach keys to it.

3. Put a sturdy stick on it and use it as a fly swatter.

4. Normal hockey pucks too small? Glue several AOL CDs together and you're off!

5. Got a fussy baby? Build a AOL mobile and hang it over her crib! (Make sure too cover up the AOL logo. You wouldn't want to traumatize the poor child; would you?)

6. Butt buffing.

7. Use a razor blade and our handy stencil to create a ninja star! Please use responsibly.

8. Smash up several CDs and use the shiny side to create an avant-garde masterpiece.

9. Mail several thousand of the CDs back to AOL Headquarters. (Make sure to ruin the CDs first, you wouldn't want AOL mailing them out again!)

10. Tile your floor with them.

11. Put one in the microwave for 10 seconds. Only do this if you have a spare microwave sitting around.

12. Really, really cool shingles for your house.

13. Hood ornaments.

14. If you're ever stuck on a desert island, grab one of the AOL CDs bound to be nearby and use it to signal passing ships.

15. Flash your friends in the eyes. (wh0rg cannot be held responsible for eye damage resulting from this use of the AOL CD)

16. Above use also good for distracting the opposing team at sporting events.

17. AOL plate mail. AOL CDs make nearly impenetrable suit of armor. Protect yourself as you storm Microsoft HQ.

18. Recycle. Not as fun as other methods, but better for the environment.

19. Use one for a clock face.

20. Sharpen and serrate one and use it as a replacement circular saw blade.

21. Makeshift Chakram.

22. Bake one into a cake and send it to your favorite inmate. We're not sure how, but we think a resourceful con could use it to escape from prison.

23. Frisbee!

24. Forget crosses, garlic, and holy water, nothing scares off the undead like a buggy ass AOL 5.0 CD.

25. Target for your BB gun! Tape a piece of paper over the hole in the middle, so you know if you got a bull's eye.

26. Use them to block the microwaves the aliens are beaming at you. It's cheaper than aluminum foil.

27. AOL arts and crafts for camp!

28. A beautiful AOL chandelier.

29. Replace your friend's Half-Life CD with a spare AOL one. (This is a very vicious prank, and should not be taken lightly.)

30. Install it on your friend's computer. (This is right up there with being a telemarketer or a Scientologist, do not be surprised if you burn for this one.)

31. Install it on every computer you come across. (This will make you a tool in the schemes of the AOL corperate megalith and will sentence your soul to eternal damnation in the darkest pits of hell. *Not recommended*)

32. Scrape the label off and make pretty rainbow beads!

33. Replace your friends prosthetic leg with one made from melted AOL CD's.

34. Giant refractive telescopes.

35. Freeze to extreme cold then shatter

36. Collect them year-round and hand them out at Halloween.

37. Sharpen the edges and use them as a pizza wheel.

38. Projectiles, projectiles, projectiles... (I cannot stress this one enough).

39. Take a large black marker, write "Eh, Eh, how do you like it now wiseguy?" on 40,000 of them and bulk mail them to Steve Case.

40. Use them instead of the reflective thingies on your bike.

41. Having a big shin dig? Run a few through a shredder and use them for swanky mirrored stir sticks.

42. Take a hammer to a few hundred of them and paste them to a beach ball...INSTANT DISCO.

43. Use as a model rocket launch pad.

44. Give them to panhandlers.

45. Go to a corporate Money Lender, hand them numerous AOL disks with Chinese writing etched on them and insist they are obscure Asian coinage that you would like to exchange.

46. Wear one around your neck on a big gold chain, start a trend just like Flavor Flave did back in the 80's!

47. Hire someone you want dead to hand them out at a LINUX convention.

48. Bake in an oven till warped

49. Stick one in a box with a FURBYTM a TICKLE ME ELMOTM doll, some JAR JAR? Merchandise a couple BEANIE BABIESTM and a Windows 98 CD, label it Pandora's Box.....

50. Put one in your hair... you too can look like a Jetson.

51. Who needs clay pigeons? "PULL!"

52. If you ever decide to remake an Ed Wood movie, you can always use them in lieu of paper plates to represent the invading alien hordes.

53. Circular knives (just don't grip the sharpened side) slit the necks of Corporate Scum with dreadful accuracy.

54. Feed them to your neighbor's annoying dog.

55. Get a blowtorch and make contemporary art sculptures.

56. Donate them to the Salvation Army (We suggest around 20,000 or so in one of their "donation boxes").

57. Melt several million and make your very own liquid metal T-1000.

58. Create the worlds most obnoxious "House of mirrors".

59. Make a new tourist attraction by creating the BIG-BALL-O-AOL (only recommended if you live in the rural Midwest).

60. To inspire REAL terror, attach one to a brick, tie a threatening message to it and throw it through some random person's window. Run like hell.

61. Sell them to AOL users

    • But they will be the first asking for a bail out the moment crap goes sideways. Its just a matter of time with this AI thing unless skynet gets us first.
    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all. EDIT: That does not mean that I find state support for social needs unreasonable. Quite the contrary. Together with solid workers' rights we exactly had exactly that in Germany for decades in the form of the Sozialstaat which was as the scandinavian social democratic very successful - until the number of people who drew from those resources dramatically increased (ironically a project of social democrat and green proponents).
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
