Aight, I said I got a zero, and my husband says we both have one. So help me settle this riveting dinner discussion we’re having:
5 points, not bad
The country were I was living when I rented videos didn’t have Blockbuster, so 1.
In my country we didn’t had blockbuster too but I still consider the video club I used the “local version”. I got one for the paper check.
At my local video club I waited in line while they were bootleg recording The Matrix. First one out the store with the tape. I memorized every line in that movie in 1999.
I want a new test
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?
1 point. I never recorded a music off the radio.
It absolutely isn’t secure, the government refuses to give up on it so it continues to be in play.
It really isn‘t
You’re right, it isn’t. It’s just already been enshrined into law so they keep using them.
0 points
Big fat zero for me.
3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
3 for me too , late 90s baby. We had lotf of this stuff around in 2000s in europe (except blockbuster but i substituted it for local rental store)
19! (not “nineteen factorial”). I had used a floppy disk once.
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.
I’m a zoomer and only got three points hahaha
Older Gen X’er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
Yeah. 20 points. I either aced it, or I colossally fsiled it depending on perspective.
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we’ll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
19… Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn’t have one where I lived but I have rented videos.
I’m gonna say that counts. They shouldn’t have specific a specific rental place.
Born in 1986… Y’all are sheltered… Got em all 20 points.
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.
Late 20s - 2 points
never used a Sony Walkman! so that’s 1 point for me…
Ha!! One point! In yo face!!!
Sorry got too excited there for a second. I have never sent a postcard. Bought em though and rcvd them but never sent.
I can technically count myself one point, but that’s only because we didn’t have blockbusters in France (but I did rent VHS from other places)…
0 🤣
0 I’m old 😆
1… Never used fax
0
1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.
I think that should count the same
1 point - I’ve never sent a postcard lol

I have 1 point.
I never owned an encyclopedia.
If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

As kids my sister and I found a set of old 1950’s World Book Encyclopedias that a family in our neighborhood was throwing out. We brought them home on a wagon. We used them for years. They were definitely kinda dated–like, in the article about guinea pigs, it claimed they were the perfect animal for scientific research because they don’t feel pain, which is obviously bullshit and/or propaganda. But that was actually kind of eye-opening for me at the time, because I didn’t have a lot of experience of seemingly authoritative things that were also in error. It still had a lot of useful info, too.

I never owned a fax either! Does it count if I remember the school office using them?
