Goddammit this meme will not die

I've legit once killed a hard drive by absentmindedly standing it up on its edge and then accidentally knocking it over on a hard table. It would seem to work for about two minutes when turned on and then would suddenly turn off and you can hear the read write head abruptly returning to the home position.

So you're telling me I experienced loss for real?!

I hate this

Are they..................................... dead?

Would have been funnier without the text imo, make people actually piece it together themselves rather than just telling them the joke.
