I like to think that in some dark mothballed factory, this manufacturing line still sits there, just waiting for Sarah Connor to crawl through it and push the "Go" button.
For a while I kept wondering when they were going to put the platter in. I'm surprised it's so late in the process, but I guess that reduces the risk of damaging it.
I watched this expecting to see actual floppies being made. Somewhere in the middle I noticed the metal tabs being folded in and I realized that the video title is a lie. Those aren't floppies, those are STIFFIES!!

Goes well as a soundtrack when I pop discs into my "new" (refurbished) FloppyDisk[dot]com drive.
And then there's this (via Ars Technica):
Is Floppy Disc Assembly just another side project of Front Line Assembly?
Whose job is it to lick all the suction cups every morning?
Given how automated the factory is, i am sure they have a sexbot for that.

Watching manufacturing videos from 30+ years ago vs. now is like listening to a 45 at 33 1/3. Were they powered by steam engine?
