    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.

    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.

    1. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
    2. Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller

    Do I get negative points if I still own and use many of these things?

  • NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    1 point. I’ve never sent a postcard… I bought one with a shifting hologram on the front for the purposes of sending a Thank-You note. I just never got around to sending it.

    36 years old. Just grew up mostly without access to music until I got my first PC. But I did have the opportunity to use a radio with a cassete tape player a few times as a kid.

    I mean I am old, yes, but I feel like most North American millennials would get the same.

      I hate to break it to you but… millennials are old

        Wait, that can’t be right. No, I was just playing Smash Bros with my room mates a moment ago, like just… twenty … years ago … oh

    1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.

    source
  • Korhaka@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I have listened to a cassette but not a CD. It was mainly stories when I was young. By the time I was had any interest in music, limewire existed. Once limewire died I downloaded from youtube instead.

    source
    • Mickey7@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Another reminder of the past - Limewire. Anyone also remember Napster?

    Never sent a FAX. Scanners were common place and only sent pic/pdfs by email when needed.

    Never owned an encyclopedia.

    source
    • nadiaraven@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Dude I sent a fax like last year. The medical industry considers them more secure than email

      source
      • Bleys@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Low-key they kind of are just because of security through obscurity. Modern scammers are too busy with new stuff like crypto and phishing, and can’t be bothered with faxing.

    Only 3 🥲

  • missandry351@lemmings.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Typewriter, vinil, fax, and payed with check, those are the only 4 things I never done. The boom box I don’t know what it is.

    • Mannimarco@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      A boombox is one of those big rectangular radios that can work on batteries

    I guess 2 points, I’ve not owned my own dictionary or encyclopedia. Born in 1989.

    • No typewriter ( would kill for a real TTY though)
    • Haven’t listened to vinyl ( I really want to get into that, overwhelmed with stuff I need to learn)
    • No boombox ( and thank god for that - this shit looks heavy af)
    • Not recorded music to a cassette ( only from lack of trying, had a radio accepting cassettes with “record” button)
    • No postcard ( not a big thing around these parts)
    source
    • Mickey7@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I don’t understand why people want to listen to vinyl records vs. digital

      source
      • SirSamuel@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I’m no audiophile, but there is a difference in sound. To me it’s not enough to invest in the type of equipment that maximizes that difference, but it’s still there

        Plus turntables have become another niche technological LEGO set, to customize and improve until the hole in your chest is filled

        As someone who listens to both: because they’re fun

        Purely ideological at this point.
        I want to own my media, CDs aren’t being produced anymore, vinyls are resurfacing.

      A real TTY would be really cool.

  • CephaloSquad@discuss.online ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    10 points, though maybe less depending on how strict you are. For example I’ve seen floppy disks and seen my dad use them (we had a whole stack of them at home), or my mom send and receive faxes, but by the time I was old enough to use a computer or need to send communications it was CDs and email instead of faxes.

  • greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’m gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

    source
  • graycube@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Zero.

    source
  • 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Walkman, Blockbuster, Encyclopaedia, Paper cheque.

    I have a Walkman, but it is broken. Blockbuster never existed in my country AFAIK. Lexicon vs Encyclopaedia. Cheques are not really a thing here except for media display (“Local company donated to local sports association”, Photo).

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

  • oz1sej@discuss.online ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    1 - I never had a check book.

    1. Surprising, because I’m Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.

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

      source
      • Patrik@lemm.ee ⁨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.
