1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans
the16bitgamer@programming.dev 1 day ago
Born in the mid 90s in Canada. You guys should’ve seen the state of book fairs in Canada. It was easier to pay via cheque than credit card.
nibbler@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
I considered claiming this point, but I used traveler cheques once, so um not sure
Brickhead92@lemmy.world 1 day ago
There’s also bank cheques.
Zannsolo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I had to start paying my rent by check again landlord trying to dodge taxes by cashing checks instead of depositing them.

My score was 4!
I’ve never used a rotary phone, record off radio to cassette (although I did on an MP3 player), never used a boombox outside, and I never used dial up.
Pretty boomer for someone born in '99, eh?
Professorozone@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Ha!! I’m not old at all. I got 21 points!
cannedtuna@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Millennial with a big fat 0 over here
hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
My only point was I never listened to a boom box outside.
proudblond@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Mine might be that we didn’t own an encyclopedia; I can’t remember if we did or not. But… I think we did.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 day ago
I learned to ride my bike one handed so I could carry my boom box. Tracking down 8 D Batteries was the hardest part.
TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 1 day ago
You an elder millennial by chance?
Rakonat@lemmy.world 1 day ago
2 points cause we lived a couple blocks from the library so we never felt the need to own a dictionary or encyclopedia. Though really like 1.5 since my sister did have a CD from world book program that was like an encyclopedia for kids
tomi000@lemmy.world 1 day ago
- No Blockbuster in Europe, and noone uses checks here.
Obi@sopuli.xyz 21 hours ago
Folks literally still using cheques in France to this day!
PeroBasta@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Blockbuster was present in Italy for example

19! (not “nineteen factorial”). I had used a floppy disk once.
dotslashme@infosec.pub 1 day ago
2 points, but only because we don’t have blockbuster where I’m from, I have rented movies though. I have also never used a check to pay for anything.
raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 day ago
1 point for the same reason, but having used traveler’s cheques :)

Yeah. 20 points. I either aced it, or I colossally fsiled it depending on perspective.
Dvixen@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Zeeeero!
TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Same, seems like these are all from the 70s/80s/90s era basically.
Dr_Nik@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m with you there! So surprised at people being proud of having any points.

I’m as old as some people in this thread, I’ve got 20.
Zip2@feddit.uk 1 day ago
Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.
aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 1 day ago
I’ve never used a typewriter. I’ve also never been to blockbuster, but I assume this is just American for “rented a film from a physical store”.
Zip2@feddit.uk 1 day ago
Given how obsolete videos are, I’d imagine all of the stores have gone too.
We had blockbuster in the UK, and we had boomboxes. No one I knew took them outdoors though.
null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Yeah IDK about this one.
I def had a boom box. It def used batteries. I’m certain I listened to it outside but I just can’t remember specifically doing that.
Also encyclopaedias. I’m certain that we had one of those single volume ones at least.
Redredme@lemmy.world 1 day ago
- Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
Scrollone@feddit.it 1 day ago
It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.
Juliebones@lemmy.ca 23 hours ago
0 I’m old 😆
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 20 hours ago
19… Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn’t have one where I lived but I have rented videos.
samus12345@lemm.ee 17 hours ago
I’m gonna say that counts. They shouldn’t have specific a specific rental place.

madjo@feddit.nl 2 days ago
I just turned 45. But I have 1 point. I’d happily pretend to be 39 though.
Enkrod@feddit.org 2 days ago
I’ll need a couple of negative points for that to hold true.

monotremata@lemmy.ca 11 hours 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.
