Yeah it sounded like boring music if you played it forwards. You had to play it backwards to get the awesome messages from Satan.

Same, but for me, it wasn't in the early 90s.
Also, I discovered some totally amazing music this way that still haunts me to this day.

It's just gatekeeping for Muppets.

That wasn’t piracy. That was fair use.

If only we could steal cars that way.

I heard there were also pirate broadcasts of ZX Spectrum computer tapes.

My sister had a cassette player with built in TV. We later found you could record shows by linking the RCA out to the cassette line in, and do the reverse for playback...however the volume of the casette controlled how large the image would be on the screen, so a bit tricky for playback

Ignorance is not innocence, we are coming for you.

Most of us are probably over 30.

I'm late 20s and I get it. It's not that old knowledge

C30, C60, C90 GO!

Notice how only some of them have arms? Clearly AI generated.

I dont know which cap you had but it was the worst idea because my caps were round and unsuitable for that. I used the pen itself.

Japanese pencils are slightly bigger in diameter than American ones, they fit perfectly into the cassette sprocket while American ones leave enough room for the pencil to spin without spooling the tape.

Philips designed the compact cassette specifically to be wound by a Bic pen.

That's meant to be a joke, right?

I had a tape splicer at one time. So basically trauma surgery.

Yeah, no…

Casettes were still well in use into the ‘90s. CDs were expensive, and unless you bought a new car or had an aftermarket CD player installed, CD players were not likely in your car. I didn’t have a factory cd player installed in a car until 2004. Before that it was a portable player with a cassette adapter.

So a 40yo would have a good shot at getting this joke. A 50yo should have no excuse.

I think this comment is purposely trying to get people to violate opsec
