No wonder. You have a 26 day old account. Welcome to the world babyface.
Kyuuketsuki@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
You also have it the wrong way around. It’s a point for everything you have not done.

Hello old friend
bazus1@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Yeah, the hurts-to-get-out-of-bed is real.
CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
Zentron@lemm.ee 2 days 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)
Enkrod@feddit.org 3 days ago
1 Point, we don’t use cheques in Germany.
affenlehrer@feddit.org 3 days ago
3, same with the cheques
Nomad@infosec.pub 1 day ago
There was a time when people used cheques in Germany. I remember my father using them ages ago
Mannimarco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days ago
I’m exactly the same, only i’m from the Netherlands
nilclass@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
Actually… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocheque
Enkrod@feddit.org 3 days ago
Still nothing compared to how it’s used in the US.
I’ve never seen a cheque in my entire life and it’s so incredibly niche that you might as well talk about paying with stocks or gold bars.
ne0n@lemmy.world 3 days ago
1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans
nibbler@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
I considered claiming this point, but I used traveler cheques once, so um not sure
Brickhead92@lemmy.world 2 days ago
There’s also bank cheques.
the16bitgamer@programming.dev 2 days ago
Born in the mid 90s in Canada. You guys should’ve seen the state of book fairs in Canada. It was easier to pay via cheque than credit card.
Zannsolo@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I had to start paying my rent by check again landlord trying to dodge taxes by cashing checks instead of depositing them.
Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Older Gen X’er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we’ll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Millennial with a big fat 0 over here
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 days ago
My only point was I never listened to a boom box outside.
proudblond@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Mine might be that we didn’t own an encyclopedia; I can’t remember if we did or not. But… I think we did.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 days ago
I learned to ride my bike one handed so I could carry my boom box. Tracking down 8 D Batteries was the hardest part.
TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 2 days ago
You an elder millennial by chance?
Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 days ago
2 points cause we lived a couple blocks from the library so we never felt the need to own a dictionary or encyclopedia. Though really like 1.5 since my sister did have a CD from world book program that was like an encyclopedia for kids
bluewing@lemm.ee 2 days ago
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).
Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 1 day ago
Some of the stuff I’d like to try again, maybe once or twice. The sound of the pips, modem sounds, aligning a type written head after using some tipex, the rhythmic sounds of a floppy drive, the added noise of your favourite song recorded on an old tape, low battery on a walkman. The list goes one!
bluewing@lemm.ee 1 day ago
I was thinking of even older things.
The feel of the keys and staccato sounds of a mechanical typewriter.
The sound of a wringer/washer machine
The muffled sound of my am band 9 transistor pocket radio “hiding” under my pillow late at night for as long as the 9V battery would last (I loved the Mystery Radio Theater show that started at 10pm)
The soft crackling sound of a tube black and white TV as all the tubes warmed up. (And the time it took to do so)
The sound and smell of the percolator coffee pot in the morning
The sound of a wooden screen slamming shut
The smell and sound of a mimeograph machine printing copies in the school/church office (And the slight buzz you could get from copy fluid-- Petroleum aromatics Yum!)
Doing my math homework with a slide rule.
The smell of a fresh fired paper hull shotgun shell on a cold crisp late fall morning
And so much more that no longer exists.
HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 days ago
Big fat zero for me.
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
1, We don’t have blockbuster in NL. But 0 if any other VHS rental store counts.
I even have an old rotary phone on my desk.
Witziger_Waschbaer@feddit.org 1 day ago
Does it work? I also have one and it was super easy to connect it to my router and use it. My wife likes to call me on it when my phone is on silent, hard to miss that ring haha.
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
No clue. I have no way of connecting it, I don’t have a land-line. I was thinking of converting it to a mic and headphone speaker for my eurorack. So add jack plugs on some wire.
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
dotslashme@infosec.pub 3 days ago
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.
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 3 days ago
1 point for the same reason, but having used traveler’s cheques :)
4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days ago
Same.
Rooty@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This is basically a “are you old” questionaire.
tomi000@lemmy.world 2 days ago
- No Blockbuster in Europe, and noone uses checks here.
andrej@feddit.org 1 day ago
One. Because in Germany, we did not have Blockbuster…
UncleArthur@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I am proudly batting zero.
sailormoon@lemmy.world 1 day ago
0
Dvixen@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Zeeeero!
FanciestPants@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I don’t know why these are asked in the past tense like I don’t still do these things.
Doolbs@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I have 1 point.
I never owned an encyclopedia.
If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

Cocopanda@futurology.today 1 day ago
Why are people attacking me so much online today?
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
The country were I was living when I rented videos didn’t have Blockbuster, so 1.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Vintage Emthusiasts getting absolutely fucking roasted by thism
samus12345@lemm.ee 2 days ago
1 point. I never recorded a music off the radio.
superkret@feddit.org 3 days ago
Your age is 40 minus your number of points.

yagurlreese@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’m a zoomer and only got three points hahaha
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
0 point gang rise up.
But don’t rise too quickly. I know our backs don’t like that.
Jumi@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?
NotNow@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Also german, I guess any spot to take out videos counts also. So welcome to the “0 point club”.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 3 days ago
You can rise… But let’s be extra careful with raising that right arm.
shalafi@lemmy.world 2 days ago
The fire rises brother! (OK, not an appropriate quote, just wanted to say it.)
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 days ago
I assume there was an equivalent service though?
absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 days ago
Same, 1 point because no Blockbuster in NZ
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Hey folks, is this where the old farts are hanging out? Point me toward the bathroom, I’ll be a while.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Whoa whoa whoa. I’m only 33. I just happened to like old shit growing up and I got to use it all right as it went out the door and got replaced haha.
Bruncvik@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Preach on, brother. Just came back from my physio. He did some dry needling on my lower back because it ain’t what it used to be when I was still Wired for Sound.
Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yeah I can’t recall using a typewriter seriously, but for sure I’ve used on for fun. Also trying to get a commodore 64 to print my homework in 1992 should aub in nicely.
MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
My great aunt left me her typewriter when she passed. My father holds onto it as I have nowhere too to store it and he enjoys using it from time to time. It’s becoming harder and harder to find replacement ribbons or people that can repair it at all, but it’s still kicking. I typed out a few short papers on it in highschool just for fun.

I’m not 100% sure that’s the exact model I have but it looks like the right one.
Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Yup, flat zero.
