2 points. Lived in a small city. No point in recording radio to tape... You'll hear the same songs again tomorrow anyway. Also why specifically call out a brand name Sony Walkman? Listened to plenty of tapes on portable tape players. Just never had a Walkman specifically.

No wonder. You have a 26 day old account. Welcome to the world, babyface.

Edit: I can see why this can be seen as poor taste. Wasn't trying to be mean. Obviously account age != actual age. Was making it in jest.

You also have it the wrong way around. It's a point for everything you have not done.

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.

1 point.

I have never sent a postcard. Bought plenty as a cheap souvenir/collectible thing and have received some before; never actually mailed one to someone or even gave one to someone in person.

I am 40.

1 point for me as well, but I had never recorded radio to a cassette. Same age.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Mid 20s, and I got 10 points. 9 points if the blockbuster one does not mean blockbuster specifically

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I rented videos, but not at blockbuster... Otherwise 0 points

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Same same. No Blockbuster in Europe.

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.

German newborns have to fax their crying to the hospital's management for them to be declared healthy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I must have read this comment 10 times before deciding you are probably joking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

3, I'm in my 20s btw

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I considered claiming this point, but I used traveler cheques once, so um not sure

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

There's also bank cheques.

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 Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.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