  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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

1 point, number 4.

But I know I am gonna get a other point soon.

I already know that my gf gifts me a acdc Back in Black Vinyl.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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

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).

  1. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque. And the local video rental wasn't called Blockbusters, obviously.
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I own a copy of DOOM in a book

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

At least 6 and Im 31, more if I get super pedantic.

For instance

  • printed out directions for my dad and he followed them
  • Rented dvds from blockbuster
  • kids pink typewriter that i couldnt use properly
  • flipped through phone book to pretend i was terminator Etc.

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.

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

Edited from Europe to Germany as some pointed out that there is Blockbuster and checks in other countries

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Blockbuster was present in Italy for example
