I never had my own AOL email account but I did throw away AOL signup disks and I sent email to AOL accounts… so I guess 20/20 assuming “phone bo” is a phone book.
As for not being long for this world… there are a lot of ways to go that don’t link with being old, so I guess that checks out anyway.
AOL disks were great when they were sending out floppies… free disks!
i work at a library it isnt fair for me to compete. i only use the fax machine because the government won't let old people email them and they dont know how to anyway.
I’ve used everything on this list, I win!
Everything but 5 and 13. Guess I’ll go die, then.
I highly suggest finding a typewriter, they’re actually really fun.
18 cause I’m not American.
TIL dictionaries and encyclopedias are exclusively American.
19; guess which one I’ve never used?
Waterbed?
That’s a check are you were rich and old.
Check book
exactly.
Phone Bo?
(I really want to make a bo staff out of phones now)
What about watching “Creature Double Feature”?
Godzilla and all his bitches!
Does it count if I own a typewriter, even though I’ve never used it?
Post card?
Cursive??
water bed???
18, damn.
Never had VCR, AOL or phone bo. Don’t think AOL ever was a thing here anyway, it was Sol or Kvasir and then Hotmail. The rest my 37 years have included.
I am a little old for a Bo dont ya think?
Surely that should be ‘mix tape’? And I assume 20 is ‘Phone Box’, not ‘Phone BO’? If so, what’s the difference between a phone box and a phone booth? I scored 17 so I anticipate living for another hundred years!
Plus also, what the fuck are you doing on my lawn, ooh innit cold, the price of stamps these days, look at how young those policemen look, fucking cloud!
17 points, I’m 43, no AOL address, no check book or waterbed.
40 here, scored a 19. I’m fascinated that you were able to avoid checkbooks all this time. Back in the day it was the only form of rent payment my landlords would accept, so I didn’t have much choice.
I’ve also had to use them in oddball situations recently, like paying a passport application fee. The passports weren’t even for me. I was just the only one in the friend group that still has checks from when I first opened my account… almost 20 years ago. They’re my age, so maybe it’s me who’s the outlier here, haha.
Avoiding checkbooks? Easy, be not american.
6 with many of them in my childhood or because of under-equipped schools
16, but I like vintage shit, nahmean?
13 i mean postcard? My work made me write post cards for Christmas even.
number 20 does elude me
It’s when you are smelly while using a phone
Records have been resurgent for a decade. The person who made this thinks they’re funny and biting, but they are out of touch with the culture.
And definitely not a “record player”. Turntable, mother fucker.
I was too poor to have a waterbed, walkman and
Dude. I still use 8 of them. And you’ll only take those eight from my cold, dead fingers. Which, apparently, won’t be long…
Luckily we didn’t have AOL emails where I lived.
But checks? Still use them, they’re dead useful for school stuff, sport events for the kids and so on.
1 :)
Only one? You really missed out on so many fun things
I like to think I would’ve loved the internet circa 90s-2000s.

Just 3 for me, one of which actually being a waterbed. my parents had one until we had to sell the house in 2019
Not 4, … 20? Bitch please.
