    My town had a family video, not a blockbuster.

    source
    • toynbee@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      My town had a “Video Tonight” and we were allowed one rental per week, leading to the following regular exchange:

      “Want to go to Video Tonight?”

      “No, I’d rather wait until tomorrow.”

      I will implemented a service that will rely partly on faxing documents into a new web app this year.

    1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.

    source
    • Qwazpoi@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I think that should count the same

      source
  • Hikermick@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Same here. Here’s some more… 22: I had a black and white television 23: The television didn’t have a remote control 24: On Sunday, television was closed, no programming other than religious stuff in the morning 25: At some point, often around midnight, the television went off the air 26: Cars didn’t have seat belts

      source
      • Hikermick@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I lived through all that too except for very early Sunday mornings our local station would show Felix the Cat and Popeye cartoons followed by Davey and Goliath. I think they got away with t because it was before church started and Davey was somewhat religious

  • RBWells@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago
    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.

      Wasn’t that the case for like, all landlines?..

  • Johanno@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    8 points

    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.

    source
    • Obi@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yeah I score 0 but quite a few of these are more “because there was an old one there and I felt like trying it out” rather than because I needed to use them daily.

      source
  • MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    8 points. I’m born in 1997.

    1. No floppy disk
    2. No typewriter
    3. No Walkman
    4. No boom box
    5. No record of radio
    6. No Blockbuster (I think that store is not present in my country)
    7. No dial up Internet
    8. No cheque
    source
    • Shapillon@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      0 points if you count public libraries as “blockbuster adjacent” and I’m only a year older than you.

      source
    • baduhai@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I was born in 98, got 5 points.

      • No walkman
      • No boombox
      • No fax
      • No recording radio
      • No cheque

      I’ve rented video before, so I’m counting blockbuster.

      source
    • Voyajer@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I’m at 3 points from a similar age. 8, 12, 13.

      source
  • collapse_already@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    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.

    source
    • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I counted my parents owning Encyclopedia Britannica. 54 here.

      Also, I own a house, have no college debt and have met Steve Irwin and talked to Alec Guiness and Terry Pratchett in person.

      Your move young whippersnapper.

      • Cano@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I do agree a lot of zoomers just suck with computers. I am not one of them unfortunately, I am confident in my ability to use a computer which kinda backfired cause now I have my boomer relatives AND my zoomer friends asking for tech support.

        I technically own a house (long story short, it was to pay less taxes)

        I paid only ~2000€ in university taxes this year. I’d argue this problem is mostly with being an American (which I am not) rather than being a zoomer.

        Steve Irwin is the only thing you have over me, and I don’t know who the others are.

      I thought I would be at the low end at 12…

      Maybe the younger people didn’t have the patience to read all 20 bullet points and comment as well?

    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.

        Haha I had the same thought initially. Then I thought it was really neat how far we have come from those days… It’s kind of crazy, I can’t wait to see what comes next in terms of advancements in technology and science working in harmony with nature.

    source
    • Obi@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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)…

      source

    1. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque.
    source
  • Demonmariner@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

    source
  • deedan06_@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.
