    1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
    source
    • Scrollone@feddit.it ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.

    1. Probably a typical response for anyone not in gen Z.
    source
  • ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I want a new test

    source
  • shadowDingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    My score was 4!

    I’ve never used a rotary phone, record off radio to cassette (although I did on an MP3 player), never used a boombox outside, and I never used dial up.

    Pretty boomer for someone born in '99, eh?

    Does Encarta count as owning an encyclopedia?

    19! (not “nineteen factorial”). I had used a floppy disk once.

  • WrenFeathers@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yeah. 20 points. I either aced it, or I colossally fsiled it depending on perspective.

  • Simulation6@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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.

    Fuck, I’m old.

    source
  • Matombo@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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
  • Lootboblin@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Only 18 because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.

    1. Sent or received a fax

    You clearly do not live in Germany

    source
    • AntiGuide@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I will implemented a service that will rely partly on faxing documents into a new web app this year.

      source
  • Carrot@lemmy.today ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

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 Maybe it’s because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.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

    source
    • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Now this is a unique post! Can’t imagine any 20-somethings scoring zero. Go go retro bro!

    Yes I’m old. On the plus side I still have my family commadore 64 from 1982.

    • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      So wish I still had my VIC-20 and 64.

    My town had a family video, not a blockbuster.

    source
    • toynbee@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      My town had a “Video Tonight” and we were allowed one rental per week, leading to the following regular exchange:

      “Want to go to Video Tonight?”

      “No, I’d rather wait until tomorrow.”

      source
    • EVERGREEN@lemmy.one ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Same boat here small rural town, we had Video Giant.

    • Shapillon@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      0 points if you count public libraries as “blockbuster adjacent” and I’m only a year older than you.

      source
    • baduhai@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I was born in 98, got 5 points.

      • No walkman
      • No boombox
      • No fax
      • No recording radio
      • No cheque

      Also, I own a house, have no college debt and have met Steve Irwin and talked to Alec Guiness and Terry Pratchett in person.

      Your move young whippersnapper.

      • Cano@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I do agree a lot of zoomers just suck with computers. I am not one of them unfortunately, I am confident in my ability to use a computer which kinda backfired cause now I have my boomer relatives AND my zoomer friends asking for tech support.

        I technically own a house (long story short, it was to pay less taxes)

        I paid only ~2000€ in university taxes this year. I’d argue this problem is mostly with being an American (which I am not) rather than being a zoomer.

        Steve Irwin is the only thing you have over me, and I don’t know who the others are.

      All of them.

    • Ziglin@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I thought I would be at the low end at 12…

      Maybe the younger people didn’t have the patience to read all 20 bullet points and comment as well?

    18 points.

    I’ve owned a dictionary and an encyclppedia.

  • monotremata@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    For “listened to a boombox outside,” does it matter whether you did so voluntarily or just heard it because someone else was playing one too loudly for you to ignore? In other words, I’m either 0 or 1.

    source
  • Professorozone@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Ha!! I’m not old at all. I got 21 points!

    19… Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn’t have one where I lived but I have rented videos.

    source
    • samus12345@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I’m gonna say that counts. They shouldn’t have specific a specific rental place.

      source
  • js346235476@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

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

    source
  • collapse_already@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I’m in my early 50s. I’m surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.

    source
    • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I counted my parents owning Encyclopedia Britannica. 54 here.

      source
  • Hikermick@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?

    21: had to wait for the television to warm up

      Hand washing clothes with a scrub board.

        source
    • nostradamnit@infosec.pub ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Same here. Here’s some more… 22: I had a black and white television 23: The television didn’t have a remote control 24: On Sunday, television was closed, no programming other than religious stuff in the morning 25: At some point, often around midnight, the television went off the air 26: Cars didn’t have seat belts

      source
      • Hikermick@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I lived through all that too except for very early Sunday mornings our local station would show Felix the Cat and Popeye cartoons followed by Davey and Goliath. I think they got away with t because it was before church started and Davey was somewhat religious
