Justice for the 5.25" floppy disk! It had an actual hole inside, which would fit your finger! You could see it's a disk and not a weird shaped square box, and you could hear it's rotating.

Ah, if you're saying it should have been designed based off 5.25" I'm down :)

back in the ol' 8bit commodore days, we had one of these gadgets so we could flip 'em over and use the other side

good ol capitalism, it’s cheaper to just make all discs double sided and market some as single sided and the others as double for more price …
