I’ve never actually owned a set of encyclopedias.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I own one, and I have read it.
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m giving myself half a point because I’ve used a typewriter but it was just playing around at my grandma’s house.
Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But you’ve done all the other things?
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah. I was younger when I did most of them but still very clearly remember them.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 year ago
1 point. Never cared for what was playing on the radio.

TheWilliamist@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve never sent a postcard. Born in 1970.
__Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Yeah that’s the only point I got. I’ve bought post cards, but never actually mailed one.
janus2@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
i wrote a check yesterday and faxed something last month, because 1. fuck paying “convenience fees” to pay my rent online 2. fuck signing up for yet another medical portal just so i can order some fucking contact lenses
do not miss film cameras though. always felt too inhibited to take photos because i’d be “wasting” the film
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I am actually glad I started my photography experience in film. Really taught me to think about framing and timing before hitting the shutter
janus2@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
the secret is confidence, i think. lol
TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 1 year ago
15 points.
I’ve listened to music on CDs and cassette tapes, watched a VHS tape, recorded music from the radio, and at one point owned a dictionary.
seggturkasz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Which floppy disc? The one whith the sliding metal thingy or the bendy one? Just kidding… I used both :D
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The one with a sliding metal thingy had a floppy magnetic material inside it just like the bendy one.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 year ago
The diskette was just a floppy anyways:) just a bit smaller.
Shapillon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’d assume it’s the floppy one but same lol
umbraroze@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Two points. I’ve never paid for anything by cheque (we have had bank transfers in Finland for ages) and Blockbuster didn’t operate here (we had our local video rental chains, and the convenience store chain that I used to go to is still in business, just, you know, not having movies for rent any more)
eaterofclowns@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If you just got a point for never having written a postcard, go write a postcard! And mail it to someone that you appreciate in your life. It doesn’t need to be from anywhere exotic or say anything profound, it just takes a few sentences. If you really want to get fancy about it, a lot of little art galleries sell postcard sized prints and you can give someone a tiny little piece of art that speaks to you. Or go to a museum and buy like 10 at the gift shop and keep a stockpile to send when you want to reach out. People love it, and you probably will too.

Last three on the list.
Never actually owned dictionary or encyclopedia. somebody just left them at my place, because nobody wanted them, so I used them as a door stop. If they are considered my property, because they were abandoned at my property then just 1 point.
DrBob@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Dictionaries are like cats. They just find their own home.
random_character_a@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Remember the time when there were telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen selling dictionary, encyclopedias and history books. Always wondered who the fuck buys those from a shady dude at the door.
HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 year ago
1 point. I’ve never personally owned a physical encyclopedia. I’ve def. used them though.
CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Same. I’m actually surprised at the number of people who have owned them based on these responses. I used them at the library, and probably had a digital one that came with a computer (like Encarta or something), but never owned a full set, which is what I’d guess this list means.
Mickey7@lemmy.world 1 year ago
WOW! You just jarred my brain mentioning Encarta. That was such a big thing in it’s time.
Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 10 months ago
- My area had upgraded to DTMF exchanges too soon for me to use a rotary phone, and my parents were to cheap to own an encyclopedia when you could just go to the library to read one, although we did have a few of those encyclopedias on CDs over the years
I literally just wrote a check today to pay for a vehicle inspection. And a couple recently to pay some contractors for some house repairs
Lootboblin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Only 18 because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.
monotremata@lemmy.ca 1 year 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 1 year ago

Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 year ago

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.
5in1k@lemm.ee 1 year ago
- My grandma had a rotary phone.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.
swag_money@lemmy.world 1 year ago
never used a Sony Walkman! so that’s 1 point for me…
selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Ha!! One point! In yo face!!!
Sorry got too excited there for a second. I have never sent a postcard. Bought em though and rcvd them but never sent.
Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 year 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)…
Spicy_Canada_Dry@lemmy.world 1 year ago

OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
1 point. I’ve never sent/received a fax.
damdy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I got 5, so which Kardashian am I? Not sure the point.
