Flip the plastic chicklet in your floppy disk so you dont accidentally erase it.

Cutting a notch in your floppy disk to write protect it....

Don’t forget the stickers to un-write protect it :-)

Chewing up a piece of paper and shove the goo into the holes of a casette you didn't like so you could record on it

We'd put tape over the holes, I remember recording Death Metal albums over my parents old exercise cassettes, for example.

Cut a little square hole in the side of a 5.25" floppy to double its capacity.

Or, as my lazy ass would do sometimes, move the slider and grab a magnet so maybe my "homework" wouldn't load and I'd get another day.
