17/20. I’m 25
THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short

Yeah, in don’t think many of us touched a Phone Bo. They’re impossible to find after we started making bo staffs out of better material like wood.

In my family’s house growing up, we duct taped our only phone’s receiver to a Bo staff so we could pass the phone between rooms without having to leave the room.

Very unfortunate that we never got the chance.

20/20, waterbeds were awesome.

Are we censoring books now?

19, but only because waterbeds were never really a thing in the UK
Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Does it could if I’ve used them for the novelty?

18, damn.

You don’t scare me.
AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.I will never get to 20, yay!
MudMan@fedia.io 1 day ago
Waterbeds also not a thing.
Not being American gets you 3 extra... years? decades? life units? Which does seem still accurate.

Same. I’ve seen people using cheques when I was a kid, but they were issued as separate sheets not in a form of a book

I never had my own AOL email account but I did throw away AOL signup disks and I sent email to AOL accounts… so I guess 20/20 assuming “phone bo” is a phone book.
As for not being long for this world… there are a lot of ways to go that don’t link with being old, so I guess that checks out anyway.

AOL disks were great when they were sending out floppies… free disks!

18 cause I’m not American.

TIL dictionaries and encyclopedias are exclusively American.

Never had VCR, AOL or phone bo. Don’t think AOL ever was a thing here anyway, it was Sol or Kvasir and then Hotmail. The rest my 37 years have included.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 day ago
19; guess which one I’ve never used?
Mickey7@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Waterbed?
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 day ago
That’s a check are you were rich and old.

Phone Bo?
(I really want to make a bo staff out of phones now)

I am a little old for a Bo dont ya think?
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 day ago
Surely that should be ‘mix tape’? And I assume 20 is ‘Phone Box’, not ‘Phone BO’? If so, what’s the difference between a phone box and a phone booth? I scored 17 so I anticipate living for another hundred years!
Plus also, what the fuck are you doing on my lawn, ooh innit cold, the price of stamps these days, look at how young those policemen look, fucking cloud!

17 points, I’m 43, no AOL address, no check book or waterbed.
GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
40 here, scored a 19. I’m fascinated that you were able to avoid checkbooks all this time. Back in the day it was the only form of rent payment my landlords would accept, so I didn’t have much choice.
I’ve also had to use them in oddball situations recently, like paying a passport application fee. The passports weren’t even for me. I was just the only one in the friend group that still has checks from when I first opened my account… almost 20 years ago. They’re my age, so maybe it’s me who’s the outlier here, haha.

Avoiding checkbooks? Easy, be not american.

Bruncvik@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Dude. I still use 8 of them. And you’ll only take those eight from my cold, dead fingers. Which, apparently, won’t be long…
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Luckily we didn’t have AOL emails where I lived.
But checks? Still use them, they’re dead useful for school stuff, sport events for the kids and so on.

*cheque book
And why people from other countries than USA would necessarily use AOL?
jambudz@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
It’s check book in the states, where the majority of native English speakers live.
