I drew a floppy disk as part of a workplace online Pictionary game, only to find somebody I work with has never seen one.

We work in IT.

The rest of us tried to explain what they were and he was like "did you use them in a GameCube?" and "was it like a USB stick?"

Nintendo was planning on adopting floppies iirc, but they were too easy to copy from.

Nintendo did use them for the add-on Famicom Disk System but that was all the way back in the 80s.
