    But only because we pay in cash and block buster was never a thing here.

    I have touched a type writer but never used it for writing letters or whatever you write with it.

    I just sent a fax a few days ago…

    I never owned a walkman or discman but my older sister had a discman and I got one of the first mp3 players xD.

      Yeah I score 0 but quite a few of these are more “because there was an old one there and I felt like trying it out” rather than because I needed to use them daily.

    None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

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

      I am also at zero. Makes me wonder what is so relevant TODAY that will be completely out of style in 20 years

        Carried portable media (USB drive).

        Used earbuds/headphones with a cable.

        Used a standalone calculator.

        Replaced a disposable battery.

    1 - Never owned an encyclopedia. Used one many times, owned all sort of other books that agglomerate knowledge, but never owned one.

    source
  • jojowakaki@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

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

    source
    • Qwazpoi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think that should count the same

    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.

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

      We’re old.

      • macmarkus@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Haha I had the same thought initially. Then I thought it was really neat how far we have come from those days… It’s kind of crazy, I can’t wait to see what comes next in terms of advancements in technology and science working in harmony with nature.

    1 - I never had a check book.

    source
  • ving_thor@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    2 points.

    I have never written a check, and as far as I know, there were no Blockbusters in this country.

    source
    • bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Me too. Though I’d say we can substitute any locally available video renting store with Blockbuster. So it would only be 1 point.

      source
  • Patrik@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago
    1. Surprising, because I’m Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.

    • qbus@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      So you’re a hipster? How’s your vinyl collection? /S

      source
  • Raiderkev@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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.

    source
    • GCanuck@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I wasn’t sure if my parents owning an encyclopedia set qualified me for the point or not.

      But then I remembered I owned the Microsoft Encarta encyclopedia CD. Did you own that?

      source
      • Raiderkev@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Absolutely, but I don’t think that counts and docked myself that point.

        source
  • OmegaMan@lemmings.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Lived in a small city. No point in recording radio to tape… You’ll hear the same songs again tomorrow anyway.

    source
    • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Walkman was the only game in town as I remember. Where there generic versions? Think maybe I had a shitty one, but Walkman was the gold standard.

      And so were the headphones! First in-ear audio that actually rocked out. Again, not sure there was much of anything else, but Iron Maiden thumped in those things. Now I want another pair.

      source
      • ouRKaoS@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I would love to find a pair of the earbuds that came with the OG Game Boy. I don’t know if they were the best things ever, or if I wasn’t so much of an audiophile then.

        source
      • OmegaMan@lemmings.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        There were alternative portable tape players. Maybe not right away but there definitely were.

        source
    • madkins@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I know it’s capitalized, but I read it as a generalization like Band-Aid, Frisbee, or Chapstick. Most people aren’t referring to only the name brand versions. Of course, maybe I’m wrong and I missed out on my perfect zero.

      source
      • OmegaMan@lemmings.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Could be yeah.

    1. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque.
    source
  • longjohnjohnson@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

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

    source
  • some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

    1. Would have been 2 but I was a member of Video Ezy.

      Or a zero if they read the point system correctly ;)

        Well shit….

        Reading is fun for mentals…

    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.

    One point. Never recorded a CD from the radio.

    The encyclopedia belonged to my grandparents, but I lived there and used it.

      I must have read this comment 10 times before deciding you are probably joking.

  • swag_money@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    never used a Sony Walkman! so that’s 1 point for me…
