I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.

For "listened to a boombox outside," does it matter whether you did so voluntarily or just heard it because someone else was playing one too loudly for you to ignore? In other words, I'm either 0 or 1.

14 points 😬. I'm surprised at the amount of zeroes in the comments.

never used a Sony Walkman! so that's 1 point for me...

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)
  1. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque. And the local video rental wasn't called Blockbusters, obviously.
[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

Let’s just say that at some places, I get senior discounts. Not ALL places, but some.

I'm 39 ☹️ zero points.

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

I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

2 points. Lived in a small city. No point in recording radio to tape... You'll hear the same songs again tomorrow anyway. Also why specifically call out a brand name Sony Walkman? Listened to plenty of tapes on portable tape players. Just never had a Walkman specifically.

Aight, I said I got a zero, and my husband says we both have one. So help me settle this riveting dinner discussion we're having:

  1. Paid with a paper check - I say I have because we've made earnest money deposits via check, or down payments on loans via check. And he says "no" because the intent is using a check to pay for things like groceries. He says weve never balanced a checkbook so it doesn't count.

5 points, not bad

[–] knightly@pawb.social 7 points 5 days ago

0, and I've done 4 of these in the last year.

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

1 point. I've never sent/received a fax.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 3 points 5 days ago

1 and that's only because Blockbuster wasn't a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.

1 point, only because my parents never bought an encyclopedia set. They were absolutely a thing when I was a kid. I definitely used one before, but never owned them. Hooray for being old I guess.

German newborns have to fax their crying to the hospital's management for them to be declared healthy

0 here as well. Really feels like a Gen X/Millennial thing.

[–] deedan06_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago
  1. But some are only like once in my parents basenent for fun. Technically 8. I technically sent fax to doctors for work. As in, i physically deliver it to them as austria banned doctors from using fax, and clearly, the only solution is to walk there in this day and age.
[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

4 points, am 35.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

This is just the age calculator. Anything over 5 points and you are less than 25 years old. I’d even go as far to say less than 30.

[–] melvisntnormal@feddit.uk 3 points 5 days ago

I turn 29 in a few months and scored 2. I would not be surprised if I've forgotten an instance of using a typewriter or listening to a boombox outside though.

  1. Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.
