See, the cool thing about this sentence is you can replace CD with whatever noun you want.
learn this one weird trick to language
This specific section about pop culture happens to be filled to the brim with sentences about going to buy CDs and DVDs in real physical stores and it just tickles me
DVDs and CDs are retro-chic now. Like vinyl but with the illusion of sound quality removed.
CDs do have good sound though. It's on par with a typical FLAC file.
Until they photodegrade yeah
I like cd's. 
CD’s nutz
I find this funny because I'm literally typing this waiting for a CD to burn. I'm a hobbyist DJ and one of my partner's car still has a CD player so I burn them CDs of my DJ sets, and I just wrapped up the CD copy today so it's getting burned.
When their car dies and they have to upgrade...yeah I can't imagine a CD anymore. But I do still use them! A little!
I mean, I still use mp3s myself 
They're talking about Credit Defaults, you're gonna be an investment banker.
If you're learning the language of the place where most companies use fax on a daily basis, and print media is still pretty big, then yeah, I don't imagine physical media is that anachronistic.
I live in Japan, and I buy CDs all the time. Practically every Book Off has a whole treasure trove of old albums. It's especially great for dance music. A sizable amount of my collection is nonstop mix CDs, and even if every track is available digitally, I know that those particular mixes never will be.
good language learning often uses less realistic sentences
"The Cloud" is such shit right now that it may well push CDs and the like back into style.
Using duolingo to learn? major fail there. you can do duolingo for like two years and end up completely non fluent.
It's more of a thing I do on the can or on the bus
