Found 9,000 selfies of my old flip phone on a dead SD card

So I finally got around to cleaning out my desk drawer and found this busted SD card from like 2012. I popped it into a cheap reader I keep for work stuff and somehow the thing still read. Turns out it had 9,000 photos on it, mostly blurry selfies from my old flip phone era, plus like 200 screenshots of silly text convos I totally forgot about. I spent a whole afternoon laughing and cringing at my 22 year old self, then deleted every single one because there's no way I need that energy back. The funny fail part is I accidentally kept one screenshot of a recipe for spaghetti that I can't even read because it's cropped weird. Has anyone else found a time capsule like that and just nuked it without regret?

Those 9,000 selfies were probably backups of backups anyway... most flip phones only stored like 500 at a time.
