0 point gang rise up.

But don't rise too quickly. I know our backs don't like that.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?

3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.

Older Gen X'er here.

This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 8 points 2 days ago

Big fat zero for me.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we'll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!

0; am old. What's funny is that it's 2025 and anyone trying to get internet in Japan with one of the only two fiber providers (NTT) still has to send a fax to set it up.

A perfect zero. I have done all of those things and more that the creator of that list can't even imagine. Things that were everyday common but have faded beyond memory, (and aren't missed at all).

1 point. I never recorded music off the radio.

The fax one is funny because I do that just about every day. People seem to forget that doctor's offices still use them - far more secure than email.

I have 1 point.

I never owned an encyclopedia.

If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

  1. No Blockbuster in Germany, and noone uses checks here.

Edited from Europe to Germany as some pointed out that there is Blockbuster and checks in other countries

1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans

19! (not "nineteen factorial"). I had used a floppy disk once.

[–] yagurlreese@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm a zoomer and only got three points hahaha

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The country were I was living when I rented videos didn't have Blockbuster, so 1.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In my country we didn't had blockbuster too but I still consider the video club I used the "local version". I got one for the paper check.

Born in 1986.. Zero 0

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (6 children)

1 Point, we don't use cheques in Germany. Maybe 2 points, but I'd count my local Videotheque as the equivalent of the "Blockbuster" video chain.

Does Encarta count as owning an encyclopedia?

[–] dotslashme@infosec.pub 18 points 4 days ago (2 children)

2 points, but only because we don't have blockbuster where I'm from, I have rented movies though. I have also never used a check to pay for anything.

Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I've never used a typewriter. I've also never been to blockbuster, but I assume this is just American for "rented a film from a physical store".

I want a new test

[–] shadowDingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

My score was 4!

I've never used a rotary phone, record off radio to cassette (although I did on an MP3 player), never used a boombox outside, and I never used dial up.

Pretty boomer for someone born in '99, eh?

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ha!! I'm not old at all. I got 21 points!

[–] Redredme@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)
  1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 3 days ago

It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.

[–] Juliebones@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

0 I'm old 😆

Yeah. 0 points. I either aced it, or I colossally failed it depending on perspective.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

1.... Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn't have one where I lived but I have rented videos.

5 but it depends if "used" is defined as actually in an every day situtation or because found an old typewriter in the attic and played around with it
