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

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 40 minutes 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 2 points 28 minutes 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.

[–] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago* (last edited 4 minutes ago)

At my local video club I waited in line while they were bootleg recording The Matrix. First one out the store with the tape. I memorized every line in that movie in 1999.

I did every single thing on this list.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] lucster@lemm.ee 0 points 1 hour ago

It really isn‘t

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

I want a new test

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 7 points 3 hours ago

Big fat zero for me.

[–] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

3 for me too , late 90s baby. We had lotf of this stuff around in 2000s in europe (except blockbuster but i substituted it for local rental store)

Older Gen X'er here.

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

[–] shadowDingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours 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?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] kaidezee@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] yagurlreese@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I'm a zoomer and only got three points hahaha

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Born in 1986.. Zero 0

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 hours ago

Two points. Wtf would I send a postcard? I also don't believe I've ever sent a fax, though I may have gone to an office supply store to have that done to a business and don't recall.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

I'm gonna say that counts. They shouldn't have specific a specific rental place.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 3 points 5 hours ago

Late 20s - 2 points

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago
  1. My grandma had a rotary phone.
[–] Squeezer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago
  1. Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.
[–] swag_money@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Ha!! One point! In yo face!!!

Sorry got too excited there for a second. I have never sent a postcard. Bought em though and rcvd them but never sent.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

I can technically count myself one point, but that's only because we didn't have blockbusters in France (but I did rent VHS from other places)...

[–] Juliebones@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 hours ago

0 I'm old 😆

[–] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago
[–] jojowakaki@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.

[–] Qwazpoi@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I think that should count the same

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
  1. Never owned a whole encyclopedia.

But probably -1 for not only rotary phone but "party line"; sometimes you couldn't use the phone because someone else, in another house, was using that line.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

Wasn't that the case for like, all landlines?...

[–] Antaeus@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago
[–] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (2 children)

18 points.

I've owned a dictionary and an encyclopedia.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hello officer? I'd like to report a suspicious person in my retirement community!

[–] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I don't know how to retire a car but my dad has guided me through replacing a few bits of the engine mount, so does that count?

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 hours ago

Get off me lawn!!
