"Floppy disks" were 8 inches a side in my youth and went in the minicomputer

Then along came Newfangled desktop PCs with their 5.25" floppies

I used those big floppy disks with some ancient hardware for running physics experiments during university in like 2015-ish, and I'm sure that exact floppy is still in use today. It's not even a small and underfunded university or anything.
