Otacon: “My shoulder kinda hurts…”
Solid Snake: “You need some tea? Want a massage? Tell where it hurts, who hurt you? Want me to kill them?”
My brother: *to his online friends* I gotta go. My pizza is here.
One of his online friends: Where’s my pizza?
Everyone: *laughs*
My brother: *logs out of chat*
Me: You know. You could order them pizza.
My brother: What?
Me: You know his adress.
My brother: We live in Canada. They are in the States.
Me: So. You can order it online and pay with a credit card.

Online friend: HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET ME A PIZZA FROM CANADA?
I like how thus far there seems to be two responses to this post.
1. This is soooo sweet and pure.
2. Tagging a friend with something to the the effect of “Where’s my pizza?”

It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic
Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner. A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.
There’s no grooves on a CD tho???
They’re just really tiny, hence the laser. The smaller grooves means that more info can fit on a disc of the same size.
Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that
“What if we replaced the Diamond needle of a record player with a laser?”
it’s only comparable to the grooves on a vinyl record in the sense that a spiral is the best way to store a track of data on a rotating disc. the truth is far more impressive than any of you have let on
Audio is translated into an electrical signal by a device that produces alternating current at the same frequency and intensity (voltage) as the sound waves hitting it, a microphone.
The voltage of that analogue audio signal is measured 44,100 times per second on a scale from -32,768 to 32,767 and stored as binary.
That binary does not go onto the disc directly as burnt area = 0, as many sources will tell you. The change from a pit to a land or vice-versa is what signifies a 1. It is also modulated to allow the player to read it more easily and encoded in a way so that the disc can still be read even if there are many bits that cannot be read due to a reasonable degree of scratches or dirt.
That finalized set of binary instructions is fed into a laser that etches the pits into a glass disc coated with a polymer that falls off glass discs easily when hit directly by a laser. It is then put in a vacuum chamber, coated with nickel, and a negative copy of that is grown by the complicated process of electrodeposition.
That negative copy is used to mold a disc of clear plastic with all the pits and lands. After it is molded it is coated with aluminum and another layer of plastic on top of the aluminum.
You put it in the CD player and the sensor that measures how much light is reflected by the laser sends that data to a little computer that reverses those modulations and error-correction encoding and sends that data to a circuit that takes the now-raw binary data and turns it back into an analogue signal that is amplified and sent to a speaker.
So it’s like a vinyl record?
yeah kinda
i find vinyl records way more confusing. like, it’s just a needle being dragged across a groove. i can imagine making a simple tune come out with that kind of technology, but actual recorded sounds?
at least with a cd, it’s just data being read and decoded into sounds. but a record is literally making the sound through the vibrations of the needle?!
i had to look up the monocle republican and i was not disappointed
hot take
