Reusing Old CD/DVDs (lemmy.ml)

So I was clearing my attic and stumbled upon 20-30 Old CD/DVDs. I’ve sorted them into 2 categories:

  1. flat out refuse to work
  2. work but are terribly scratched.

Are there any usages for these? (I also have the cheap plastic cases these come in)

  2. Put a drink on CD/dvd
  3. ????
  4. Profit

My bad, had a brain fart when I first saw “coasters” 😂. Searched it up, apparently a pretty common repurpose.

  1. Roll CD on edge
  2. Make terrible pun about it being a roller coaster
