So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

They make excellent bird-scarers. Stick of bamboo, thicker end shoved firmly in the ground, slip a disc over the thinner end, shiny side up.

Drinks coasters also. Maybe an abstract art installation.

This is what I've seen them used for! My FIL scares the crows away from his figs like that. But crows being smart as fuck, I think they know now and just ignore them. Other birds might still be scared though
