My parents were cleaning out their basement and threw away a lot of old junk. We had a lot of answering machines back in the 1980s and 1990s that used cassette tapes.
I was going to take some of the old electronics to a Goodwill store but had some time to kill so I popped one of the old answering machine tapes into the truck's cassette player in hopes of hearing some nostalgic stuff but that's sure not what was on there. Message after message of the same weird static, instead.

Fair enough. Still, what the hell's data doing on an answering machine? No one in my house had a computer back then.

See this stupid image? This is you. The oblivious memeworthy child. Tapes warp with age and everything you mentioned is completely normal.

I'm afraid you appear to have warped with age as well.

you have no idea how right you are

OP here. Yeah, I have to admit I'm pretty damn stupid when it comes to old school tech. Best guess I have is that this tape was used in an old Commodore or whatever that used tapes for storing games and stuff.

Somebody got a call from a modem or fax.
