    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.

    1 and that’s only because Blockbuster wasn’t a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.

      You can’t increase your score. Once you have listened to a vinyl record you can’t undo it. If you have done an item on the list, you score 0 for that item. If you have not done that item, you score 1.

        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.

  • ICastFist@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I’m old, but never sent or received a fax or rented from Blockbuster specifically, we had plenty of local “mom&pop” stores.

    Never paid with cheque, by the time I was old enough to have any significant amount of money (~2011) they were already almost entirely phased out

    source

      My hair dresser doesn’t take electronic payments. Check or cash.

  • bluewing@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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).

    source
    • Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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!

      source
      • bluewing@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

    1. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque.

    6, 7 if Bluetooth speaker outside doesn’t count as boombox, because my speaker is a box and it booms, but it’s not called that.

    I turn 29 in a few months and scored 2. I would not be surprised if I’ve forgotten an instance of using a typewriter or listening to a boombox outside though.

    At least 8 and Im 31, more if I get super pedantic.

  • Johanno@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    8 points

    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.

    source
    • Obi@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.

    1. No Blockbuster in Europe, and noone uses checks here.

      Folks literally still using cheques in France to this day!

      Blockbuster was present in Italy for example

  • Matombo@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    5 but it depends if “used” is defined as actually in an every day situtation or because found an old typewriter in the attic and played around with it

    source
  • TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    1. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
    2. Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller
    source
  • Zip2@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.

    source
    • null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah IDK about this one.

      I def had a boom box. It def used batteries. I’m certain I listened to it outside but I just can’t remember specifically doing that.

      Also encyclopaedias. I’m certain that we had one of those single volume ones at least.

      source
    • aim_at_me@lemmy.nz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ve never used a typewriter. I’ve also never been to blockbuster, but I assume this is just American for “rented a film from a physical store”.

      source
      • Zip2@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Given how obsolete videos are, I’d imagine all of the stores have gone too.

        We had blockbuster in the UK, and we had boomboxes. No one I knew took them outdoors though.

    Do I get negative points if I still own and use many of these things?

  • NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    1 point. I’ve never sent a postcard… I bought one with a shifting hologram on the front for the purposes of sending a Thank-You note. I just never got around to sending it.
