Obligatory statement that this didn't happen today or last year, but actually many, many years ago.
Roll back 2010's my family just got introduced to computers and me being just a silly 10 year old who only had flash games in mind and nothing else didn't really think out certain things. If you remember there was a Picasa 3 app thingy and my family made me the tech head at that time as I helped with uploading pictures to the computer and on some social media sites. Well I remember there being about 5000 photos and videos on that hard drive, I don't think I knew what cloud service even was back then and whether or not I even had it activated.
Anyways FF to 2015, I'm 15 and the PC died, and what did my dumbass do at that time? I didn't even think about photos, nor did my family its just something I wish I would've kept, but basically I took the hard drive, opened it as a fun science experiment and later just threw it in the garbage, though it was dead as soon as I opened the cover. As if that wasn't bad enough, those social media accounts? I didn't backup those either and just deleted them because why would I care about some random photos.
Now we just have physical photo albums till about 2008, a large gap and resuming from like 2016. What I wouldn't give to view those photos again just for the memories. I still hate myself.
TL;DR Was young, didn't care about a thing as photos, didn't know what a cloud service was or backups even. Opened and destroyed a hard drive worth something more than money can buy.
