Instead of posting this as a reply you should make it a new shit post. I like your list.

[–] js346235476@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] deedan06_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago
  1. But some are only like once in my parents basenent for fun. Technically 8. I technically sent fax to doctors for work. As in, i physically deliver it to them as austria banned doctors from using fax, and clearly, the only solution is to walk there in this day and age.

1, We never had blockbuster in NL. But 0 if any other VHS rental store counts.

I even have an old rotary phone on my desk.

[–] Witziger_Waschbaer@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does it work? I also have one and it was super easy to connect it to my router and use it. My wife likes to call me on it when my phone is on silent, hard to miss that ring haha.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

No clue. I have no way of connecting it, I don't have a land-line. I was thinking of converting it to a mic and headphone speaker for my eurorack. So add jack plugs on some wire.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I even have a walkman in my eurorack setup.

[–] oz1sej@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago

1 - I never had a check book.

[–] Cocopanda@futurology.today 3 points 1 week ago

Why are people attacking me so much online today?

[–] Patrik@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
  1. Surprising, because I'm Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.
[–] qbus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Patrik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I'm not a hipster, just like old tech. However, my vinyl collection is doing well, thank you. Some military marches, some classical, and several Johnny Cash.

[–] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Three. Would have been two but I was a member of Video Ezy. I also just learned if you start a sentence with a number Sync autocorrects it to a numbered list.

[–] andrej@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

One. Because in Germany, we did not have Blockbuster....

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Germany is cheating, you only need to be like 20 to get most of this list, hell two thirds of them are still current technology

[–] SilverShark@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just replaced it with my local video rental shop and counted that I did it. I felt that the question was more into the spirit of asking if you have rented a movie from a shop on physical media rather then being focus on the actual Blockbuster store.

[–] andrej@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Well shit. Then I am old ;)

[–] unsortedcustard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

fucking 13 😭

  1. Probably a typical response for anyone not in gen Z.
[–] RizzoTheSmall@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

I got zero points.. guess I'm old now?

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I don't know why these are asked in the past tense like I don't still do these things.

Vintage Enthusiasts getting absolutely fucking roasted by this.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is basically a "are you old" questionaire.

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Can confirm.

Am old.

Scored a zero.

[–] toddestan@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does Encarta count as owning an encyclopedia?

[–] illeagle@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

So many memories just came flooding back...

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week 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.

[–] grimoire@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

14 points 😬. I'm surprised at the amount of zeroes in the comments.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] sailormoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago
[–] cryptix@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

6 and I feel old.
