    1. My area had upgraded to DTMF exchanges too soon for me to use a rotary phone, and my parents were to cheap to own an encyclopedia when you could just go to the library to read one, although we did have a few of those encyclopedias on CDs over the years

    I literally just wrote a check today to pay for a vehicle inspection. And a couple recently to pay some contractors for some house repairs

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

      source
      • NotNow@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

      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.

      source
      • MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

        Image

        I’m not 100% sure that’s the exact model I have but it looks like the right one.

      • Enkrod@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

      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

    source
  • bluewing@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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).

    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 Maybe it’s because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.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
