I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?
Also german, I guess any spot to take out videos counts also. So welcome to the “0 point club”.
You can rise… But let’s be extra careful with raising that right arm.
The fire rises brother! (OK, not an appropriate quote, just wanted to say it.)
I assume there was an equivalent service though?
Same, 1 point because no Blockbuster in NZ
Hey folks, is this where the old farts are hanging out? Point me toward the bathroom, I’ll be a while.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yup, flat zero.
I am reporting this post.
…. 0 points…. 🙂
Hello old friend
Yeah, the hurts-to-get-out-of-bed is real.
1 Point, we don’t use cheques in Germany.
3, same with the cheques
I’m exactly the same, only i’m from the Netherlands
Actually… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocheque
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.
There was a time when people used cheques in Germany. I remember my father using them ages ago
Zero points.
No wonder. You have a 26 day old account. Welcome to the world babyface.
You also have it the wrong way around. It’s a point for everything you have not done.
1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans
I considered claiming this point, but I used traveler cheques once, so um not sure
There’s also bank cheques.
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.
I had to start paying my rent by check again landlord trying to dodge taxes by cashing checks instead of depositing them.
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.
1 point for the same reason, but having used traveler’s cheques :)
Same.
Millennial with a big fat 0 over here
My only point was I never listened to a boom box outside.
Mine might be that we didn’t own an encyclopedia; I can’t remember if we did or not. But… I think we did.
I learned to ride my bike one handed so I could carry my boom box. Tracking down 8 D Batteries was the hardest part.
You an elder millennial by chance?
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
Your age is 40 minus your number of points.
I’m 60 so I’ll take 40.
40-4 points is 36, I’m turning 35 this year 😹 only missed it by a year
40-14 is also off by half a year, dang
Gasp, burn the witch
I just turned 45. But I have 1 point. I’d happily pretend to be 39 though.
3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
0
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).
Zeeeero!
I am proudly batting zero.
Older Gen X’er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we’ll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
- Sent or received a fax
You clearly do not live in Germany
15
Come at me grandpas
0
Fuck, I’m old.
Big fat zero for me.
8 points. I’m born in 1997.
Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.
1 point. Never used a boombox. And yes, I have written a check at a store while people waited in line behind me. Their cold angry stares still haunt me.
I’m in my mid 20s. Maybe it’s because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.
I didn’t use vinyl or a film camera until a few years ago though, I have been really enjoying the physicality and ritualism of analog tech recently
I got zero.
Yes I’m old. On the plus side I still have my family commadore 64 from 1982.
My town had a family video, not a blockbuster.
None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
Let’s just say that at some places, I get senior discounts. Not ALL places, but some.
This is basically a “are you old” questionaire.
